From MXF to AVI to Export, Settings Are Key.

[Jerome Niko]

I JUST WISH I KNEW WHAT KEY WORKED...

Hello,

I recently burned a video project onto Blu-Ray and DVD and it ended up having glitches (audio would cut out, digitial distortion, etc.). I exported my project from Adobe Premiere CS3 and used the same exported video for burning to both Blu-Ray and DVD. When I film I use HD cameras that capture MXF files. I shoot in 30p, 1920x1080. I then use Cineform's HD Link to convert these files to AVI for easier editing in Adobe Premiere CS3. Please take a look at the pictures below and let me know if I'm doing something wrong from capture to export. I'm not sure why my end product is having glitches.

I would appreciate any help you can give me. I would just like to know what settings you would recommend that would be most ideal for the video files and projects that I am working with. Another question I had was, do I have to export two separate video files for Blu-Ray and DVD respectively? And then create two separate projects in Encore accordingly. Thank you very much.
