Project Settings for Blue Ray Disc

Postby Jamesmf » Tue Jan 31, 2017 8:31 pm

Hello,
I want to create one large project from four small projects or segments.
I need to save them on a blue ray project disc because my four segments are too big to fit on a DVD.
I want to play the project on a 16:9 HDTV and fill the complete screen.

The videos are MPEG STD 16:9 720 by 480 files.
I have used standard definition because of concerns about file size.
There are about 20 video clips per day. Some are 4 minutes long.
My project is from my 22 day 2014 Northern Italy Trip.
Hopefully, the first four days will be a large project on one blue ray disc.

My videos come from a Sony HDR CX550V solid state memory video camera.
Standard Definition mpeg-2 16:9 720 x 480

My still photos come from a Sony WX10 shirt pocket camera
The still photos are JPG 16:9 4608 x 2592 reduced resized to 2500 x 1406
I want the still photos to fill up the 16:9 TV screen – NOT 4:3 with black boarders.

I start my initial project with one video clip and try to define the project settings. I want my project to fill the complete screen of a HDTV 16:9 screen.
Premier Elements selected DV NTSC – D1 DV NTSC 16:9 Widescreen

What project settings would you recommend?

Thank you for your help.

James

PS: This was the initial response I received from my previous post.
Unfortunately, it had three different questions and was confusing.

1) You plan to use standard definition 720x480 video to create a 1920x1080 BluRay disc. You can force this if you'd like, but just remember that you can't add pixels that aren't there, so there are liabilities to trying to up-rez from a video with 345,000 pixels to over 2,000,000 pixels. Namely, your video is going to look blurry.

I'm not sure why you're shooting your video in standard definition when you camcorder shoots in full AVCHD at 1920x1080.

As I said earlier, if you try to create a 1920x1080 BluRay disc from 720x480 standard def video your video is going to be rezzed out and blurry.

Is that really what you want to do?

Steve, Thank you for your quick reply.
I will use "D1/DV NTSC Video - 16:9 interlaced for my Project Settings.

I made this more difficult than it needed to be.

Meantime, when you say that your project is too large to fit on a DVD, what exactly do you mean?

What is the running time of your project?

A standard DVD holds about 80 minutes of video. A dual layer DVD holds about twice that.

Steve,

Please excuse my not reading your last comment regarding this post

I am struggling to understand the relationship of the following issues.
In summary, I made a mistake by using a Blue Ray instead of a DVD disc.
I think this is what you are saying?

PRE 15 project settings,
I have used Frame Size 720 x 480, D1/DV NTSC Widescreen 16:9 project settings
I have resized my photos to 2500 x 1406

Saving projects as project segments for use in a combined project
Export & Share/Computer/STD 480 720 x 480 , MP4 – H.264

The 2nd and 3rd files in the above screen print were used in my combined project and were used later in a ISO image file for a Blue Ray Disc


Selecting a DVD or Blue Ray disc for my project
I thought a Blue Ray disc would give a better picture when played on my HDTV
DVD capacity is 4.7 G
Blue Ray capacity is 25.0 G
Since my combined project was 1.94 G maybe I should have used a DVD instead of a Blue Ray?
Please see the following Properties image of the Blue Ray Disc I created


This was the ISO file I used for the Blue Ray disc burn


Saving DVD or Blue Ray disc as a ISO image file
Export & Share/Disc/Blue Ray/
I used Roxio Creator Next Pro to burn my Blue Ray disc.

Thank you for reading all of this.

OOPS!
I forgot to say the running time of the Blue Ray disc was about 14 minutes.

Actually, putting a DVD sized (pixel size) project on a Blu-ray and playing it on a TV might actually look worst than a DVD playing on a TV if the DVD player has a good upscaling algorithm.

Wrong Again,

Exactly what I said in my first post, Peru. Thanks for again posing it to the Jamesmf.

Hello Steve, Peru,
Thanks you for your comments.

You said
Steve,
You plan to use standard definition 720x480 video to create a 1920x1080 BluRay disc. You can force this if you'd like, but just remember that you can't add pixels that aren't there, so there are liabilities to trying to up-rez from a video with 345,000 pixels to over 2,000,000 pixels. Namely, your video is going to look blurry.

Peru,
Actually, putting a DVD sized (pixel size) project on a Blu-ray and playing it on a TV might actually look worst than a DVD playing on a TV if the DVD player has a good upscaling algorithm.

My 02-05-17 project was Frame Size 720 x 480, D1/DV NTSC Widescreen 16:9 project settings
I just created a second ISO file from my 02-05-17 project. It was 1,131,776 KB in size.
The settings were
DVD SD 480
MPEG 720 x x480
Fit to available space

The first ISO file from my 02-05-17 project was 2,044,224 KB in size
The settings were
Blue Ray HD 1080
Blu-Ray 1440 x 1080
No option to fit to available space

I just played these discs on a Sony Home Theatre Blue Ray Player from 2007
BDV-IT 1000ES
The TV is a Sony Bravia HD KDL-55XBR8 from 2008

You are correct in what you said, I have no doubt.
However, I could not tell the difference when the video clips played.
They both seemed a bit more blurry when compared to PSD PSE 9 & 10 projects shot with the same equipment in 2009. These projects were done on DVD discs.

I finally understand what you are saying.
Thank you for your patience and help.
