Conversion settings for Wondershare Converter; export settings for Pinnacle

[avz10]

I made a big mistake with my conversion settings when creating a wedding DVD and need assistance.

This was my first attempt at filming on an SD card, using Wondershare Video Converter Ultimate for conversion, Pinnacle 17 for editing and then I need help to export the edited video as an mpeg stream/file, so that I can create a DVD.

Two JVC cameras were used (one set at AVCHD and the other set at MP4) I must say, this was a last minute request. I will never do it again.





I converted both videos to MPEG 2 with Wondershare Video Converter Ultimate, but did not notice (forgot about) the bitrate and other settings.

I then spent hours editing in Pinnacle:



When I wanted to export last night, I saw that the settings were all wrong:
Frame aspect 4:3; Bitrate 4000; FPS 29.97 (we use 25)





This would have been the initial settings in Wondershare Video Converter Ultimate:



These are the options for high quality:



High Quality

Video Encoder: Smart fit or MPEG 2
Frame Rate: 25 fps

Audio: Smart fit or MPEG 2 Audio; AC3
Sample Rate: Smart Fit; 44 100 or 48 000Hz
Channel: Smart Fit/1/2
Bit Rate: 64/96/128/192/256/384 kbps

One camera:





Other camera:





Now, how and with what settings, to export from from Pinnacle 17

Default settings on Pinnacle 17:



So, after a very long post, three questions remain:

1. What conversion settings should I use in Wondershare
2. What settings can I use to export from Pinnacle
3. What program should I use for authoring/ creating the DVD?

I would appreciate any replies- I promised the DVD would be ready tonight!!!!

No need to use wondershare. Ingest your footage into Pinnacle, edit, and use Pinnacle's output preset for PAL disc. You can author and burn right in Pinnacle.
