Custom Video Content Guide - DLV - What do I output?

[QUOTE=joelhodgkinson;71017]Hi Guys,

tearing my hair out a bit here..

Trying to make some custom video content for 3 x DLV's doing a 3x1 collage which i believe will be 1648W x 472H...

My current workflow is:
1. Putting together footage in adobe premier
2. Exporting as 1920x1080 .mov
3. Re-sizing in TMPGEnc Video Mastering Works 5 and encoding to mpeg2 as 1648x472....

For starters, when I do this TMPGEnc chooses a random area of the screen to cut out its 1648x472 slice of the 1920x1080 image (which is not usable).

Should i export in 1024x768 as the guides on high end website suggest and THEN re-size to 1648x472 ... which would be scaling up and in my mind blowing the quality and proportions a bit?

I'm confused...

Does anyone use premier to output contect to TMPGEnc?? What output type should I export as that works best?

any help greatly appreciated

thanks

Joel

Ok I've gone a little further on my own now... I've managed to import 1920x1080 photo jpeg movies into TMPGEnc Video Mastering works 5 AND using the presets provided in this forum by high end I have also managed to export a 1648x472 mpeg....


while I was there I also exported a 1376x570 for a 2x1 collage.



I then drove to the venue with the 3 DLV's and uploaded the file's.

Strange thing is... neither of the resolution mpegs "filled" the collage and they both looked exactly the same in terms or proportions of material... am I missing something here? It looks as thought the media servers in the DLV's are just trying to "fill screen" no matter what the input file's resolution hence why they look the same? I'm confused.

thanks
