[Premiere Pro CS4-MPEG2] framesize/framerate/profile/level

What's wrong with this settings: :confused:

- Preset Used: Custom
- Video: NTSC, 1280x720, 59.94 [fps], Progressive, Quality 4.0
- Audio: 384 [kbps], 48 kHz, Dolby Digital
- Bitrate: VBR, 2 Pass, Min 4.00, Target 10.00, Max 18.50 [Mbps]
- Encoding Time: 00:00:00

try to lower FPS from 59.94

[P.J]

No, I wanna 59.94 xD
These solve my problem, but which one is better:
1. Profile: Main->High
2. Level: High 1440->High Level

Are you really sure that you want to encode 59,94 fps progressive and not interlaced?

There is no such thing as interlaced with 1280x720 video. 720p can use 24p,25p,30p,50p or 60p.

In fact 720p broadcasts are done at 60p or 50p.

high profile/high level would be for high bitrates or 4:2:2 color encoding. By high bitrates I mean bitrates that would be used for I frame only encoding such as 150 mbits or higher. The profile and level do not matter for the quality. They are just limits that tell the encoder what the maxinum bitrate can be and what color format is used.

You don't want to use high profile. For compatibility, stay with main profile. You need to use high level instead of high1440 because the luma sample rate for main@high1440 is 47001600, while your resolution/framerate give a luma sample rate of 1280x720x60 = 55296000 samples.

For 4:2:2 encoding, I'd would advise the 4:2:2 profile instead of the high profile, since the later also implies support for scalability, which is scarcer than support for 4:2:2.

Thanks Manao !
