Re: [Avid-L2] rgb or 601?

 



Adding:
I have used DiscMakers.com for about a dozen projects over the years and have never been sorry.
IIRC, one or two were "replications" with glass masters, and the rest were "duplications" from a DVD disc I encoded, authored, and burned myself.
Good printing on the DVD and DVD jackets… and I think one project we did post cards with them too.

Cheers,

Encoding with Compressor: RGB, since that's what it expects to get (IIRC), and you can't change a setting for that.

Again, IIRC, Squeeze and Adobe Media Encoder will let you tell it what you're giving it, 
so export as Rec 709 and scour the settings to make sure it knows that's what you're giving it.

I don't have my recipe in front of me, I'm sorry,
but worse case scenario:
Sacrifice a disc (or three) to the burn-gods and do a :30 test output(s) of typical footage (with some bars added at the top and tail) from the sequence with the settings as you think they should be, then encode with the settings that seem right, and then burn to DVD and watch on a TV or broadcast monitor. That way the process is quicker, and you can write down the winning recipe of correct aspect ratio and color space, and whatever else. I have used Adobe Media Encoder & Encore in the past with positive results.

I hope that helps in some way . . .

Just finished a half hour doc and now producer wants DVDs to be sending out to festivals. Should I export my QT as RGB or 601 (which looks washed out on a computer). I have no idea where or how these will be played.

thanks
