My workflow is HDV tapes to ProRes timeline to ProRes SCQT. Then Compressor to
encode MPEG-2 for SD DVD. Sometimes I deliver for the web but not often. I am wondering if anyone is using the Telestream products (Episode or Episode Pro) to encode to SD DVD, and what the results are compared to Compressor. Compressor has always worked fine with the settings I've developed mostly by reading this forum, however when I try to put more than 4hrs. on a DVD the quality suffers. And of course the time it takes to encode is lengthy to say the least. Just asking if anyone has used both and if they have praises or complaints for the telestream products. Also I need RAM for the new Mac Pro 2.8, 8-core I'm getting, any suggestions would be great. Thanks in advance. EArl W. Mac Pro 3.0, 8-core 6GB RAM X-SAN
Yes I realize that putting over 4hrs of material is asking a lot of any compression device.
However many of my clients like to put not only their current feature but past feature(s) on a single DVD-9, something quite common in the action sports world. My question is are there encoders i.e. Telestream that perform better at a lower bit-rate. Thanks
You may want to look at specific mpeg2 encoders. These provide additional compression features to make more efficient use of the available bitrate, like adaptive GOP structure, etc..
