Hello,
(1) I’m working on a host of clips for a DVD in V5; it’s been a quite while since my last disc. The footage is 16:9 SD, 60I (Canon XL2) – yes I know I should have shot in 30P mode, but this is an exercise video and said frame-rate can be problematic with rapid movement. I am looking for the settings to yield the best image possible on the DVD; I am uncertain about whether to use progressive or interlacing and the best render bit rates, field order, deinterlace method (if applicable) etc. Could someone please suggest the best project and render settings for the DVD? This thing needs to be high quality.
(2) I’d like to use a graphic/decorative border or frame around the perimeter of the clips (overlay) to give me a little elbow room respective to over-scan; I will slightly scale down my clips so as not to cut off sequences where the subject may transgress the bordered areas. The safe areas indicated on the overlay in V5 are asymmetrical horizontal to vertical; it appears the vertical side bars are wider than the top and bottom areas.
When I design the border overlay, should I make the side bars deeper into the image field as denoted by the safe areas in V5? As well, will shrinking the video down slightly (10% +/-) affect my image quality? Does anyone know an approximate pixel width for said border so as to show at least some of it when taking into account overscan?
Thanks in advance for your expertise!
