Hi Cows
I want to up my game in the DVD Authoring stakes. I'm focusing on finishing documentaries and indie films and I want to be able to provide my clients with the best possible dvd that they can afford. As it's the indie side of the market I'm not going to jump straight in and by the cinemacraft plug-in. That leaves me with Bitvice.
I've downloaded the latest demo (2.3) and I've been doing comparative tests with compressor. Problem is I'm getting "video bitrate too high" errors in DVD SP when I build my DVD's to compare the encodes. The first encode I did worked but every other test since doesn't. Here's a look at my settings, these two images are the last two encodes I did which DVDSP is rejecting for the above reasons.
You'll see that first I pushed the average bitrate up to 6.5 and the second attempt was using all the default settings in Bitvice except the "intraDC" setting which I upped to 9 from the default 8. (This was a recommendation from this forum.)
Apart from this specific problem, from what I've seen, I can't tell any difference?
I'm encoding a SD 10bit uncompressed image that was shot on EX.
Perhaps someone can give me some settings?
thanks
Llewelyn
