DVD Format
Hi and help. I am using XDCAM EX files native (MP4) in Vegas 10 and want to export out but can’t find the right format for good pictures – static shots are OK but movement has a “ripple”.
I am using Main concept MPEG2 as file type but what in the template box
Any thoughts please.

We should probably make sure that your project is set up correctly:
What project template did you use?
What is your field order?
What is your Deinterace Method?

The MPEG2 template you should use is: DVD Architect NTSC Widescreen video stream. Then render your audio as a separate Dolby Digital AC3 file. (of course if you are in a PAL country use the PAL templates instead)

Hello John
Thanks for your reply. The answers are as follows. I am PAL in the UKWhat project template did you use? HD 1080-50i (1920 x 1080 25fps)
What is your field order? – Upper field first
What is your Deinterace Method – None
I have produced a Sony AVC/MVC (MP4) copy which looks great on my HD PC WIN 7 64bit) but none of the other options worked well. Such as: Save as type – Main Concept Mpeg 2 and the template- DVD architect PAL video widescreen – (the frame size was 720 x 576) which was the one I thought would be best but was very wobbly.
I am new to Vegas 10.However, it appears I can work with the Sony AVCHD file and have converted it using Any Video Converter down from 784mb to 68 for Youtube. Bit of a pallava though. If you can add any more to this that might help, many thanks. If not – Many thanks.
How come Vegas will not compress down to Youtube level – or does it somehow?
Best wishes

Well… there’s your problem. 😉
Your project is set up incorrectly. Your source is interlaced (50i) but you told Vegas not to deinterlace it (Deinterace Method – None) so it did not. That’s why you are seeing the “ripple”. Those are interlace artifacts. You have caused this by changing your default project properties incorrectly. (happens all the time)
Never set the Deinterlace Method to None. There is no need for it except in very special cases (which don’t apply here). The default deinterlace method is Blend Fields. I suggest you change it back and the “ripples” should go away.

Hi John, That makes sense, many thanks. When I made the Sony AVC file it said “Progressive” and was the highest quality the great God Sony could produce. But thanks I can now makes smaller versions.
Best wishes,

Yes, it said progressive but how do you get progressive footage from interlaced footage? You deinterlace it of course… but since you told Vegas not to deinterlace, it simply copied the interlaced fields into the final video making the ripply mess. This is why you always need to tell Vegas what deinterlace method to use. Glad I could help.
