  1. Hello! I made a video with my Cannon SX20 IS. (PAL / 640x480 / 30fps / Lower). I want to export this video (1,5 hours) to fit on a DVD with pretty good quality. I get this video in Adobe Premiere CS4 and I made some cuts. I sent to Adobe Media Encoder for export to H264 with AAC audio codec. (640x480 / PAL / 30 fps / Lower / Profile: Main / Level: 3.1/ CBR: 7 Mbps / Multiplexing in MP4).
    After 5 hours of rendering it exports a file with pretty good quality, but chops the last 5 minutes of video from it. The audio on that part is good, but the video freeze.
    I made the rendering many times but without succes. Once it chopped the video after 30 minutes. Once exported without audio.
    The Media Encoder always write in the log that the rendering was succesful executed.
    After these experiences I tried Adobe Premiere CS5 with Adobe Media Encoder CS5. Here is another problem: with no deinterlacing appear horizontal lines, and with deinterlacing it reduce the quality, making "ghosts". If I play the original file from camera, it hasn't got horizontal lines, but it's interlaced! After exporting with Media Encoder CS4, it was interlaced but with no "horizontal lines". What make this difference?
    So what can I make to render my video from start to end?

    Thanks for your help, Daninet.

    well for dvd you need dvd spec mpeg-2 not h264 so the rest of your post is meaningless. pal should be 25fps not 30 also.

  3. I want to it will be aprox. 4GB. I don't want to export to DVD Video in MPEG2. My camera writes that records in PAL but records with 30fps and in 640x480.

    If it's 30fps, it's NTSC, not PAL. I don't know where you think the "PAL" part comes in.

    the camera only records ntsc 30 fps h264 video. you can just copy the files to dvd if all you want is a data disc and not a dvd movie. it's most likely progressive not interlaced, but check with mediainfo.

    It's neither PAL nor NTSC -- it's a computer size only.

    At "Bit rate : 9,784 Kbp" you can fit about 1 hour as data to a DVDR DVD-5 disk.

    To make a DVD disk playable on a DVD player, you need to convert to MPeg2. Since the file is 640x480 ~30fps, you would need to make a conversion to 720x480 at 29.97 for an NTSC spec DVD. Most PAL DVD players will play an NTSC disc as PAL-60.

    I joined these clips in Premiere and I want to export it with H264 (6000 kbps) + AAC. I don't want resolution or framerate change because it will lose quality.

    How can I export my video with these codecs?

    Match the export settings, for framerate and res. Easy enough. I've encoded 640x480 almost daily for years now, at 12fps-29.97fps. 30fps is an option, too, I just don't use it.

    I don't use CS3/CS4 for this anymore very often, mostly use Reference (always have), but the options are there. Adobe uses MC based encoder, too.

  12. Are you doing any edits, or just joining them?

    If you were just appending clips, I would use QTPro or MpegStreamClip, so you don't have to re-encode and lose quality

  13. I have made many cuts, edits, and other complex operations with Adobe Premiere CS4.
