Lee, I spent a couple hours holding with Adobe to get the answer. Encore will want to transcode your video even when you believe you have already encoded it properly and import it in as an asset. The way to make Encore NEVER transcode your video 100% of the time is:
>From Premiere use the Export to Encore Option. When the window opens up, select whether or not you want to author DVD menus. Next, click the settings button. You can now select the video quality. I always use High Quality 2 Pass, Stereo. NEVER change the quality from 4 or adjust any of the other video settings. Go to the audio tab. Turn on Multiplexing. I am not in front of my video editing computer so my terms above may not be exact, but if you follow them, it should be self explanatory. By doing this, Encore never tries to transcode the video and I do not lose any quality. -Greg --- In [email protected], "Taky Cheung" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Lee, > > From what I understand how Encore works and your workflow, if you export to m2v (mpeg2 video) and then have encore Transcode, you further reduce your final video quality by one more generation. If you can't get encore to "Don't Transcode" your m2v file, you better import AVI so you have better final quality. > > Taky Yahoo!
