Any benefit to this DVD workflow?

Would it be worthwhile to encode scenes individually in order to penny pinch DVD quality?

Using DVDSP would there be a noticeable difference in creating each scene as it's own track, with its own custom MPEG2 encode, and having each scene/track end jump to the next?

Just a curiousity.

Thanks
 
thats what I was thinking. I wonder if there's a scripting workflow. I have attempted in the past to combine multiple video clips in one track, but that was many moons ago and I can't remember how well it worked. Experiment time I guess.

No need to do this... read up on using compression markers and controlling the bitrate.

if you really want to split it up into multiple files, put them in the same track within DVDSP. there won't be any delay/hitch between files within the same track in DVDSP.
 
Quality is dependent on the resolution that the video was created at and the clarity of focus. Even if you shoot on dv or svhs and are able to capture it uncompressed your end video encode will stay higher. The higher the quality coming into your nle the better the quality output you will have. As I have said before if you have a lot of text elements over your video and pay the price to convert your timeline to uncompressed then your text will look much cleaner after being encoded to mpeg2. DV is not good to text and you will see softning of everything. Even using script fonts can look very clean and tight if worked in uncompressed. If you project is long with only a little text then its probably not worth the time crunch. But you can create the opening and the ending scenes in uncompressed and use a transition between the seperate videos on the same track in DVDSP.

Good Luck
