I am in the process of converting all of our highlights to 1 platform. I know that you can take the broken down plays in proscout and burn them to a DVD, but what is the quality like?
When watching the cutups in the proscout program the quality is not bad, but not good enough to put on a highlight dvd. Once it is exported to DVD, will the quality go back to the original quality, or will it be the same as seen in the program?
I guess I could just export some video and see, but I dont feel like wasting the dvd or time if its gonna be bad.

If you are working on it in AVI and then export it and convert it to DVD it comes out pretty good.

I guess I could just export some video and see, but I dont feel like wasting the dvd or time if its gonna be bad. It seems the quality of the DVD video is highly dependant on the program that does the encoding and the settings used, whether it's software based or from a standalone recorder. Certainly expect the DVD to be better quality than the mpeg video Proscout exports. Bottom line - you'll probably have to export a couple of plays and play around with your DVD programs settings. Use the highest quality setting availble that'll fit on a 4.7GB disk and see if the quality is acceptable. Use a RW disk so you can rewrite over the same disk. We've played around with several programs - Sonic, Roxio, Winavi - with all different settings. It seems like it's more of an art than science. Remember, the higher the quality means longer encoding time. |

How've you been?Good point by sacoach - keep in mind, because it came originally from an analog format, the quality of the avi file will be not quite as good as digital. Export a couple of clips out to an mpeg file (the only option currently working with Proscout) and use your DVD authoring software to read the mpeg file and create the DVD. Make sure the settings are on the highest that fits on a disk -- Then check the quality. If you ahve access to an external DVD writer, stream the avi video out and create a DVD and compare the two. |

Sorry about that, I guess I did not sign out of Coach Thurman's name before responding. He and I coach together and we are trying to figure this highlight thing out up at the school.
I will tell him you said hey though.
I will try that and get back to you on the results.
