Introduction of resources in Encore

[Vicentovsky]

Appreciated members,
I need to know what is the best way to introduce resources in Encore CS6. I know three ways:
1º- From Premiere project export to Encore.
2º- Being in Encore, import the Premiere project.
3º- Being in Encore, import the finished video file, such as a full HD mp4.
The first two ways are actually the same, and there should be no difference. The difference might be between 2º and 3º. I've tried both ways and I didn´t notice the difference in quality, but I suppose it will not be the same. I´m wondering what should be theoretically the best format to import in Encore, is the Project or Video finished ?.
Thanks in advance.

Authoring VCD???

Nope. I'm moving you to our general video section.

It depends on what kind of file you export from Premiere.

Assuming you are using the Adobe Encoder and outputting a BR compatible file (one that Encore does not need to re-transcode) there should be no difference at all.

"Full HD MP4" however, will generally require re-encode and will lose some quality.
