Hi, I'm having trouble with really jittery video when playing back my home movie on DVD. I transfered it to my laptop using a firewire cable and then used VisoDivxtoDVD to encode it. Playing back the DVD files are fine at this point but then after burning using Nero the video is all over the place on my home DVD player. Theyre cheap DVD-R's but have been fine with other movies I've backed up. I also tried burning at 6x and 4x instead of 8x but this didnt work either. Is there an issue with the file being a DV AVI? Would really appreciate any help as trying to get my daughter's 1st birthday party onto DVD!! Cheers.
That is most likely your problem. You're burning @ the right speeds etc, so I would suggest media. Try another brand, eg, Verbatim or Taiyo Yuden.
Cheers, only thing is they've been fine with other movies. From looking around here I saw some similar issues with the fields being reversed? Could this also be the problem?
What do you mean by fields being reversed? In what context? I probably know, just don't understand the way you put it
I think in the context that the video fields are interlaced and possibly need de-interlacing? Is this something anyone has heard of?
Ah I see. Have a look here, Minion explains this very well. http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/228127
Ive also been pointed towards some software called VirtualDub which I was told can sort out the problem along with many other functions. Thanks for all the help!
ripper question on vdub. this is a quote "VirtualDub is an extremely efficient video capture and processing program." now is this program like snagit ? thanks
No it isn't. BY capture, It means from other sources, such as DVD camcorders etc. By processing, it means the video/audio side of tings Hope that helped, get back to me.
Thanks Ripper, I have the problem with the jitter fixed now, the deinterlace filter in VirtualDub worked a treat! Getting green blocks of digital dropout though randomly during playback on dvd player. Tried burning with Sony disks that didnt help....any ideas guys?
It seems to be fine when played on my laptop. Used two types of disk now with same problem. I downloaded a a dodgy movie obviously filmed with a handheld and found the same problem when burned to DVD. Could it be a problem related to DV-Cam files being burnt to disk? Too quick movements perhaps?
No it's not something like that. Clean your DVD Drive laser with a cotton bud and some rubbing alcohol. It could be you're not getting great burns cos your laser is dirty. Rub in little cricles for 10 seconds with the slcohol end of the bud, and then ten seconds the same with the dry end. Make sure you don't leave any residue on the laser. It's perfectly safe too, incase you wandered
Will give that a try cheers, mind you, its only a couple of months old and I've only done about 6 burns so far!
