Internet 1080p template might this be compressed and not so good for TV as player ?

Merlin

Hi,
I have 4K footage and wish to turn it into Full HD for someone to play on their TV via a usb stick or SD card.
No point in burning it to dvd as that will dumb it down to SD, needs bluray for HD, correct me if I'm wrong.
I have downloaded Movie Studio Platinum 15 and see a youtube tutorial on 1080p conversion using this Internet 1080p but see no other 1080 conversion options.

Knowing that the internet loves compression and I wish to keep this max quality, what export option should I be using, and I have an MSI Nvidia GTX970 and it says Nvidia messed up what used to work so again it mentions experiment with encoding settings., anyone know what might be best to try first ?
I also falter over 1080p as I dont want comb edges to objects and a test video I did for TV had such when using 1080p to make it. Unless I remember wrongly and it was 1080i that caused it.

FWIW I'm still using 1080i - I Edit in ( was Sony) Studio and make a file to the #2 HDD. Then this is copied to USB-stick.
However, some USB-players are not forgiving, so it may be worth taking a known-good player with you, as it's too easy to blame the Memory Stick..... even reviewing it on yr PC can be wrong since it may have been the source of an error and it will correct it without saying.
  I try to review my Copies-to-Memory stick, using a blueray player - this appears to be the best Testing-platform I have.
( At least it is positively independent of the PC.).
.....I haven't regularly made DVDs for some years....

The above is about 1080 - NOT 4K sorry,   - and YES, AFAIK you need BlueRay for HD - although if its under 22minutes there is a way to fiddle a DVD so a BlueRay player will read it as HD. . . . However, I did this once ( the software is free), but what a pain!
Far easier to use a Memory Stick, which can be re-used...


Cheers.

1080i will cause interlacing, tearing and combing if your master file is 4K.

Rule of thumb is to keep the frame rate and scan the same, so if your footage is 30FPS 4K Progressive, export to the same, just reduce the resolution to 1080p.

You can compress to about 20 minutes per Gb and it will still look as good as a blu-ray. All footage is compressed for transmission and distribution whether by disk, internet or over the air, so no real issues there.

You will probably need to use H264 MP4 so that the TV will play it. This is easy to encode to and get good results. If the TV will play 4K from an SD card, then you could try encoding to H265 4K, but I've yet to get this to work on my Samsung TV.

Can you access advanced options as part of the export function? You should at least get a chance to crank up the bitrate.
