Laconic Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 Hello, I'm busily working on my animation, and I'm interested in making my renders able to be played in a standard or widescreen DVD format. Can anyone point me to the correct resolution, acpect ratio, and rendering settings for being able to view the animation on a standard or widescreen DVD screen? Cheers!

MMZ_TimeLord Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 If you are going to encode directly to DVD and it's final rendering... I suggest using D1 (NTSC) or D1 (PAL) depending upon what region you live in. If it's preview rendering, use 352x240 (half res, 1/4 rendering area) as this will cut down on rendering time and get you the same proportional render (wide format). The resolutions are pickable when you set the output resolution in A:M. Allowable picture resolutions are: MPEG-2, 525/60 (NTSC): 720x480, 704x480, 352x480, 352x240 MPEG-2, 625/50 (PAL): 720x576, 704x576, 352x576, 352x288 MPEG-1, 525/60 (NTSC): 352x240 MPEG-1, 625/50 (PAL): 352x288 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZachBG Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 In addition, depending on your DVD authoring software, if you're doing widescreen, you may want to render anamorphically so folks with widescreen TVs get the full resolution experience. I use 720x480 with the aspect ratio set to 1.18 (actually 1.185, but I don't know if AM accepts that much precision). The picture will appear squeezed, but if the widescreen flag is set it will look fine when seen on a DVD. You can re-size it to 853x480 to preview this.

MMZ_TimeLord Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 Yeah, I forgot about that part... Thanks for keeping me on the straight and narrow Zach! EDIT: ... yes A:M does allow 1.185 precision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
