Encore DVD and 24p searched everywhere at DVinfo.net

Riley Harmon · April 5th, 2004, 10:53 PM

I have searched everywhere on the net and on this board for some kind of information on Adobe Encore DVD and wether or not it can handle 24p. I love Encore for its powerful menuing system, especially with photoshop. I also love 24p, and the fact that A)It looks better, B)Takes less room on dvd which means higher bitrate. So can anyone shed some light on putting 24p into Encore. I would be rendering the mpeg2 from vegas. PLEASE HELp. Thanks

I looked around the Adobe Forums a bit and it seems that it does
support it as long as you can feed it 24p MPEG files (which Vegas
can create).

Do a search on the Adobe Encore forum on '24p'

Well it looks like Encore doesnt. I just rendered out a 24p clip from Vegas in MainConcept MPEG2 video format. I made sure that the clip was 24fps and not 23.976/23.98. When I brought the clip into Encore it immediately thought I was using a 23.976 clip, and then asked me to transcode; which would further reduce quality and mess up frame rates. WHAT TO I DO???

The clip should be 23.976 fps. Not exactly 24 fps. If you still have
problems with a 23.976 fps mpeg2 then I suggest signing up by
Adobe and asking the question on their Encore forum. I doubt
many here have experience with 24p MPEG2 movies in Encore.

It should be 23.976fps with 3:2 pulldown, I believe. It also might need to be an elementary stream (see the last tab in the settings).

that elementry thing or whatever makes it perfect, gratzi.

What exactly is that?

You're welcome!

It produces a pure MPEG-2 video stream with no audio multiplexing. Also the file extension is .m2v instead of .mpg. Beyond that I really don't know what it does, just that it works for Maestro, and apparently for Encore as well. :)

Now all I need to figure out is if I can generate 24p compliant mpeg's from Canopus Procoder that work with Encore.
