Any advice for compressing SD footage in Squeeze mode?
I am working on a few dance video projects right now that were shot on Mini-DV SD Squeeze mode.
When I encode it through Compressor 4 it looks very grainy, almost like it was shot on film.
When I make a self-contained QT movie and encode it through DVD Studio Pro it's clearer but looks out of focus. The faces are not clear at all.
I also tried encoding through Compressor and bumping up the Quality (resize filter and retiming quality).
I do not know if these should be messed with but the results I got back seem like colors are more distorted and over exposed compared to what I am seeing in Final Cut Pro playback.
Does anyone have any advice for how or what settings I should use to encode SD Squeeze mode footage so I can get better results?
