couple of questions for making a dvd

[cdd]

hey so im going to be burning a movie i edited to a dvd soon and i have a couple of questions...

first is i used a canon hv30 to film the movie and it is HD.

1) ive searched this many times and i am confused if i should deinterlace/ remove blended fields before ripping. i know that when i dont do any of this and i render a file then watch it the video looks awful on the computer, however will my tv "clean up" the clips when i play the dvd?

2)i am used adobe priemere elements 3.0 to edit the video, what file type should i render to for maximun quality?

3) my film is alot of fast motion so other then the blended fields and deinterlaceing is their anything elese i can do to make the clips even clearer?


thanks for all your help!!!

These are philosophical questions. Why don't you try it for yourself? You're the only one that can say I like this quality or not.
The deinterlacing is an issue only on PC (with the default software/drivers), the player/TV usually take care of this in a satisfactory manner.

Outputting MPEG-2 in a range of 4.5 to 6.5 kb/s will avoid a secondary re-encoding of the video. It all depends on what software you use to create an actual DVD disk and how it handles various file types. Editing without re-rendering will prevent any loss of quality in the source files.

He surely had Mb/s in mind, 6 kb/s MPEG2 bitrate wouldn't suffice even for mobile phone screen 128x96 pixels! :p

Before getting into too much technical details that would make you not see the wood because of so many trees, have you tried multiAVCHD of Dean -> http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=143744?

Just take your raw files and run them through this software, burn the DVDR (as AVCHD or BD5/9 - read a bit about how are these supported by your hardware; it won't play on regular DVD-players) and test it on your TV. It should be exactly the same quality as if you directly connect your HV30 to the TV using a HDMI cable.

If you don't like it, then you should improve your shooting techniques, because no software in the world would make your shots Hollywood-like, it would correct say a luma problem, vignetting, some noise, improve a bit the colours, maybe deshake it up to a limit, but don't expect wonders.

etc.

However, if you want to burn a regular DVDR (VIDEO_TS, PAL/NTSC), then keep the HD resolution until the last encoding (use a bitrate calculator to fit the footage to DVDR size).
