Hey guys I have a question for you. I am using premiere 6.0 to edit vid I captured from my DV camera and need to know the best format/resolution to export to so that I can create an SVCD with it. Would like to be able to export directly into the format I need it in so I do not have to convert it. Also what compressor should I use?
I would export it as an uncomrpessed huffYUV .avi. Then use CCESP to compress it to SVCD. The only problem is resizeing it and you can do that in premiere and making sure its 29.970fps. Sometimes premiere likes to export things at 29.971fps and this may not work for SVCD's( havn't tried it though).
if you're going to be using cce, you should save yourself the trouble (and the temp space) and just use the cce premiere plugin, which lets you encode to mpg2 using cce directly through premiere like any other codec, without having to frameserve (which slows down the process significantly). i'm not exactly sure what you mean about format/resolution though. if your source is ntsc, 480x480, if it's pal, 480x576. if you don't use cce, then as poop said, huffyuv is the best codec to use for temp before you encode with, i would assume, tmpgenc. it's lossless, and has good compression.
perhaps you don't understand what the plugin is. It basically is a frameserver. If he edited video and added fade ins, and chene changes and effects and resized it, if he uses the plugin premiere has to recalculate all of that for each pass, while using an intermediate .avi it would not.
can you point me into the right direction to learn more about this cce. also i can't find the option to export to huffyyuv, do i need another plugin for that? assuming i don't want premiere to do the work for me, you're saying huffyyuv is the best because it is lossless right? what about resolution? this will be NTSC

ok i got the cce plugin for premiere and have encoded a test file with the settings according to the pdf manual. this is exactly what i was looking for but the output file seems not to be interlaced properly. is that just because i was trying to play it in windows media player or will it look like that on a television screen? all your help is greatly appreciated!!! twinux
huffyuv is a codec and can be gotten from doing a search for huffyuv cdoec on google or something. the mpeg you made that is interleaced will look perfect on your TV screen

excellent, so when i play it in zoom player it looks strange because it is interlaced but when i play it from the final svcd on a television it will look fine. only problem i have now is that when i try to burn it in nero it tells me the encoding is wrong for that type of burn (SVCD). don't know what setting i missed. can anyone tell me what settings in the plugin i should be using?
