trial projection

From the trial projection I realised that:
1) the quality is far better when video plays from a computer than from a dvd player
2) title safe area is still visible when a video is placed and screened by an authored dvd
3) when making an authored dvd, videos are written on Mpeg4 format and this sometimes messes up the interlacing
4) In the video I play in slow motion, in the export in which I applied frame blend there is flickering in every line that is still and in the export in which I didn't apply frame blend every movement appears flickering
5) The Lady, Walsall and Crowd videos are far more powerful when screened in big scale
so:
1) I will play the videos from apple-cubes
2) I will not author the dvds I will just transfer the data-videos to the apple-cubes
3) I will not use the triptych of 'inertia' but instead I will screen the 3 videos individually one next to the other in big scale (2meters wide)with the triptych of the snow as it is
4) Since I didn't want the quality of the Lady video to suffer from the slow motion I decided to reedit it. Although I reedit and export the lady video in every possible way available in premiere the results were not satisfactory. Through internet research I found out that premiere is always problematic with slow motion so I experimented with Final Cut Pro and after exporting the footage more than 20 times with different settings I finally came to a result close to my expectations.
