[eric pautsch] "Why are you outputting an MPEG 2 I Frame @25mb/s?"
Well, we weren't originally, after trying just about every possible output option and setting combination, the MPEG 2 I Frame files seemed to look by far the best after DVD burning. Not sure why, but they do.
[eric pautsch] "You should just output a 10bit uncompressed AVI and bring that into Encore."
Yeah, that's what I was doing for a long time, before finally realizing that the DVDs just didn't look quite as good as we thought they should. That led to the experimentation with the various outputs, where we finally landed on the MPEG 2 I Frame files. That's probably not technically the
correct choice (I'm definitely no authoring expert), but to the naked eyeball it gives us a noticably better picture than a 10bit uncompressed AVI, which looks a tad artifacty in comparison.
[eric pautsch] "playing correctly sometimes and not others is very strange indeed..."
I agree... it's giving me a headache. Thanks much for the input.
