Who the hell is going to burn this DVD? Do any of you have a DVD-burner, and media @ $5 a pop is pricey.

me :O
actually you can get -Rs at $.83 a piece online

NO NO NO NO NO!

KEEP THEM PURE 24FPS, I thought I just explained that ten zillion times :O

DO NOT CHANGE THE FRAME RATE FROM 24FPS.


Keep them at 24fps.. :O

DO NOT SPEED UP THE AUDIO
DO NOT ADJUST THE FRAME RATE
EXPORT @ 24FPS.
EVEN IF YOUR SOURCE IS 23.976

~klinky

Do not pass go!
Do not collect 200 dollars!
Ok then.
So I don't have to do anything to my source, which means I have to change it from 23.976 fps to 24fps and then resize it to 640x480. Your doing some double speak here. Are, or are we not supposed to change the framerate to 24 fps and resize from it's original 740x480 res?

Here is what you must do for anyone who is now confused in all this.
Your DVD source is 29.97 fps. Its telecined. You have to inverse telecine it to 23.976 fps with Decomb. Then, you have to speed it up to 24 frames per second with assumefps(24). Then you can edit the 24 fps file in premiere with all the time settings at 24 fps. When you make the huffyuv or xvid encode, keep it at 24 fps.
Also, your DVD source is 720x480 resolution. Resize it to 640x480 before editing, after editing, whenever you want to. Just make sure its resized.
SO the final thing is 640x480 24fps and isnt all synched wrong because you edited 23.976 material on a 24fps timebase or something like that.

And if I'm using anamorphic widescreen, I'm not stretching it, so is it OK if I have big useless black bars at the top and bottum?

[RadicalEd0]

if you have anamorphic widescreen like Princess Mononoke you have to do extra work
Resize to 640x360 and add 60 pixels of black to the top and 60 to the bottom to letterbox it and get 640x480
If its letterboxed widescreen like End of Eva you can just resize to 640x480 since its already letterboxed.

[Ashton]

(it's like princess mononoke)
So making the Premiere project into 640x480 and then just placing the widesceen in is no good? (even if I maintain original aspect ration?)

[RadicalEd0]

oh, that might work. I'm not a premiere guru, my knowledge is mostly around ripping and encoding :\

Speaking of, I've been meaning to ask you, where do you get all of your expirience from? You seem to be quit knawledgable.

How does one go about adding the black pixels to letterbox the video?

Sorry for the question, but I've been going through FAQ's for other stuff and really would prefer someone being able to answer this directly rather than searching through FAQ's for even longer.
