I wonder if someone here could help me?

I have a Sony camcorder, with DV out. I've taken a short DV clip, and edited it using Premiere.

Now - my problem comes when trying to get this clip onto SVCD.

I've saved it as a raw DV avi - and the size is nearly 1 gig. Not a problem, as the quality is excellent. I'm using Nero to burn the SVCD.

The problem comes with the conversion to SVCD. Whenever there's movement in the video, the quality deteriorates massively - and loads of horizontal lines cut across the picture, and make it a mess. I'm sure its somewhere in the compression / mpeg encoding, but I'm not quite sure where. I think its the mpeg encoder in Nero - as I can encode with Divx5 into AVI format, and that's acceptable, although not ideal.

Does someone have a foolproof way of burning a SVCD from a DV AVI?

Any help will be appreciated.

Steve.

I'll watch this post with interest. I've a Samsung camera and are having problems converting from MASSIVE AVI to SVCD.

Again using Premiere, with TMPGenc (to create the MPG) and a VCD creator.

There are sooo many compression types in Premiere. Which is best when you "make" your timeline ?

Thanks

Have you tried VCD Help?

I just export it from Premier as a VCD/SVCD file use Sonic MyDVD to burn it to CD and create menus etc. and bob is your mother's brother!
Also, you can export as a DVD file from Premier (m2v i think) and probabley fit 30-40 mins of video to a CD - at a decent quality - I have a top speed day on CD, and there are no problems when video moves fast etc (plus 9 mins of edited video + FX + soundtrack was around 150 MB)

ragnarock2,

What version of Premiere are you using. Sure mines V6. I don't think it features an export to VCD format.
