This question has probably been answered buried in some thread but I'll ask it here.

I shot a couple spots for a local PBS station and I'm to the point of delivering. They want it in AVI for ingesting in their system.

Here's the specs I shot and edited in:

Camera - JVC GY DV5100 shot in 16:9 SQUEEZE (I have a handle on the pan/crop for 16x9)

Edited in Vegas 7,
Project properties:

NTSC DV widescreen (720x480), 29.970 fps)
Full resolution rendering quality - best
Deinterlace method - none
Audio - stereo 48k

Output:

Render as...

Save as type: Video for windows, *AVI
Template: NTSC DV Widescreen
Click the custom tab...Video rendering quality: best
Then, render.....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My question...is this the best settings for the absolute best quality I can get, given shooting in SD Squeeze?

Thanks for your input,


Jeff
 
If you have precisely applied Template NTSC DV Widescreen (720x480; 29,970 fps) in options progect and Render As. Have chosen = NTSC DV Widescreen that receive optimum too most!
All is true! There is no compression.

Thanks for the reply. So it looks like I'm on the right path.

Since I shoot interlaced video, should I keep it interlaced throughout the workflow or when rendering, should I deinterlace?

Best to you,

Jeff
 
If from you it will demand, you can always make it (progressive 25p) !
I think it is not necessary to kill interlaced!
Any player correctly understands interlaced and problems are not present...!
As in interlaced movements in a shot, it is transferred more smoothly than in progressive.
I am declined to apply to leave interlaced ! (Interlaced-was good!)

For giving to a picture similarity of cinema, it is possible to do 24p (If it is necessary.... certainly)

It is not true that there is no compression with DV. There is compression. It is DV compression. If you have done anything to the footage at all, it will be recompressed.

Rendering as uncompressed gives the highest-quality result.

HOWEVER, that doesn't necessarily mean it's how you should render. What you need to do is find out from the people you'll be delivering it to exactly what they need, and then do it that way.

As for editing workflow, deinterlacing the footage will cost you up to half your vertical resolution.
