motion is pixelated after being burned to DVD
I can’t figure this out. Any motion I have in my sequence – like people running or text flying around (imported from AE) – turns out looking all pixelated after I burn the sequence onto a DVD.
For my Encoding settings I’ve tried the Custom Presets, as well as the NTSC DV 4×3 Low Quality 3MB VBR 1 Pass setting. I would try one of the High Quality settings, but Premiere claims that there’s not enough DVD space for this.
Any ideas?

It’s slightly over 3 minutes long.

hello spiro
i have just burned a 2 hour wedding to a dvd which was encoded at about 5mb, so you should have PLENTY of space if your show is just 3 mins long!
perhaps you have the timeline work area set to 3 hours or something?

Mark – how did you go about setting the encoding to 5mb? I don’t see this as an option???
Thanks for the help.

7 mbps constant bitrate should work better than 5.

spiro, i used 5mb because 7 would not fit a two hour show on a 4.7 gig disk.
your show is very short, so 7 would be perfect.its there in the presets… do you not see it?

No way. The High Quality 7mb CBR 1 Pass totally worked! I thought for sure I had tried that option after first installing PP 1.5, but it gave me a “not enough memory” error. Oh well.
I’m curious – under the Encoding section, what does the “Fields” option do? Does it really matter what I have selected there?
Thanks tons for the feedback! No more pixelated mess!

Fields is (are?) VERY important. Mucking with those settings can cause strobed motion on a TV. “Lower” is default and correct for video from a DV cam.
