Selecting your MPEG-2 IBP settings

When you select the MPEG-2 IBP format to capture or export video using Adobe

Premiere, you can specify various settings for the MPEG-2 compression.

°To select your MPEG-2 IBP settings:

1 Click the Configure button if you’re performing a realtime export to disk, or

click the

Format button if you’re defining capture settings. This displays the

following dialog box:

2 To automatically set DVD-compliant settings suitable for use with DVD

authoring programs, click the

Default button. For example, if you’ll be

exporting video for use with Sonic ReelDVD Studio or DVDit! SE, your

material must be DVD-compliant.

¡Important If you want to specify a custom configuration, such as by

changing the bit rate type or GOP structure, make sure that your settings are

supported by the program you’ll be using with your .m2v file. Changing the

GOP structure may give you undesired results. You should change these

settings only if you’re an advanced user.

3 Under Data Rate Settings, select one of the following bit rate types:

$ Constant bit rate (CBR) Video is compressed at exactly the data rate

you select. This is useful when you need to limit or predict the size of your

.m2v file. However, if your video is very complex (such as scenes with lots

of movement or many colors), you’ll need to select a high data rate to avoid

having frames of very blocky video in your .m2v file.
