help with choices for burning a DVD

Postby Stacey » Wed Apr 25, 2012 9:57 am

Hello again! Just burned a 720x 480 DVD- worked well. My project 1280 x 720 wmv. Can I burn a higher quality dvd, but not an AVCHD or Blue ray? Say a 1280 x 720? There are no choices for this for the output to dvd share section.

First, what is the highest resolution a typical new DVD player can play? ( I will be giving this out to other people.)
Next, if I were to use the output to computer choice and choose for example the MPEG HD 720p 30 option which is 1280 x 720 will this save in the format the "output to dvd" did where a video TS file is formed that I can use to make the dvd? If not, then how would you make a dvd from saving that way?

thank you....again..stacey

DVDs are standard resolution by nature: 720x480. There's no such thing as a hi-def DVD.

Once they're 1920x1080, they're BluRay discs -- and, even if the BluRay files are burned to a DVD disc, you need a BluRay player to play them.

If your goal is to output to DVD you have only two choices - standard DVD which is 720x480 or Blue ray disc at 1920x1080. If you want to distribute your video at a higher resolution like 1280x720 your best bet is to upload to a site like Vimeo and send a link for viewing to your friends and family.

OK thank you. The reason I was interested in changing it is because the standard dvd I burned is kinda blotchy. My husband thought that that might be due to compressing of the video. I thought if I increased the resolution a bit it might help. Is there anything I could have done to eliminate that?

To answer your question we would need to know a bit more about your project. What kind of footage are you using, from what camera is it coming and how did you get it into your computer. And also posting your computer specifications would help too. Please mention also what project preset you have been using.

How long does that project play? Your husband has made a good point. If a long video is highly compressed, compression artifacts can make it look blotchy.

To add a little to Bob's comment.

A standard DVD is OK for up to around 80-90 or so minutes of video after which compression artefacts may begin to become more obvious as the file becomes increasingly compressed.

If the video is significantly longer than 80 -90 minutes you could try using a dual layer DVD which should be good for around 150 to 180 or so minutes of video before compression degradation begins to reappear.

A good reference amount, but even that's a subjective number. I pesonally have seen such artifacts enough to bother me at about 75 minutes or less. There are other kinds of compression artifacts too, the noticeability of which is dependent on other factors in the material, such as the amount (and type) of motion. Some views might never see it or care; discover what works for you.

thanks everybody. I finally got a good result! Source was 1920x 1080 shot with JVC. Using JVC everio software converted it to 1280 x 720 wmv. Used avchd 720 preset. Apparently what was really messing me up was using smartfix, which I used to brighten the picture. Once removed ( after trying about 10 other things) all was well. It had made the video blotchy.

Before thinking to remove the smartfix changes, I tried importing original footage with the correct setting for JVC hd 1920, converted to avi widescreen with premiere, put in new project with the dv wide preset, which I thought was really the correct thing to do, but yielded the worst of all things I tried interestingly (didn't appy smartfix). Also tried editing with source video with its correct setting (no smartfix) , not so good either. But the best dvd by far that came out of my trials was a burn from just using the 1280wmv file( no adobe project) using the windows dvd maker- it did a nice menu too. I can't use it for the purpose I wanted as I need the stuff in the project, but my final result was a good second to that.
Video was 1 hr 23 min.
