Poor DVD quality from Adobe Premiere Pro

   I am using the Adobe Premiere Pro V7.0 for my movie editing in 16:9 wide screen format (not HD yet, but with very high quality). When I “Export to DVD” from Adobe directly to the burner (LG GSA-4167B) will burn the DVD in 16:9 format, but with very bad quality- grainy and blurry, not even close to the original. However, when I burn the same file through the bundled s/w from LG, the quality is very good and very close to the original, but not in 16:9 widescreen format. The picture is stretched vertically.
   A few things I need to mention: I don’t have Adobe EncoreDVD, I didn’t render the file to “Movie” before going to “Export to DVD” as rendering a 5 minute video seems take forever.
   Pros, please help: What is my problem? How to correct this problem? Thanks.

   I'd be very interested in a reply to this post, 'cause the same thing happened to me. The movie in the monitor window in Adobe Premiere Elements shows really nice, but the finished product on DVD is not of a good quality. :?

   Sorry that you're not getting any answers here.
   
   I've used PP to make 4:3 DVDs with great results. I use Encore also and have noticed no difference in quality.
   
   But I'd never tried a 16:9 DVD, so I just now went in and checked the available settings in Premiere Pro and there is nothing but "Low-Quality" offerings.
   
   So, your bottom line seems to be that you'll need a different authoring program.

   compusolver,
   Thanks for your feedback. I am using Adobe DVD Encore along with Adobe PP. The result is fantastic, just need to go through a few more steps.

   By the way, if you encounter difficulties using PP's avi files with Encore, (like I did occasionally) have PP export to mpeg2 and import that file into Encore.

   Just returned from my European vacation. I shot about 1.5 hours family video in 16:9 format. This will keep me busy for a while for making my DVDs. Thanks for all advise. Does Adobe Premiere 1.5 have the same problem? can I burn DVD directly from the 1.5 with high quality?

   Just check your settings menu. My version of Premiere Pro 1.5 does not list preset high quality settings for 16:9, but I suppose you could try to force the bit rate with a custom setting.
