DVD burning weirdness – crosspost
I also have this up in our local forum.
I can’t get a flawless DVD burned out of my system. Any video motion happening at a transition creates this wacky “venetian blind” looking garbage which is not present in the reference file. So, is the the type of file I’m using? Could my SuperDrive be on the fritz?
ps. I’ve taken it to different DVD players and get the same playback results. Also, the “venetian blind” looking garbage is appearing during almost all video motion. Hmmm…
I’d appreciate any input.

Mo,
This problem happens more with some encoders than others, and with some authoring programs more than others, and especially so if the authoring program is, unbeknown to the user, re-encoding the material. There are many ways of creating DVDs with FCP, and you haven’t mentioned what software you’re using for encoding and authoring, or the bitrate of your MPEG2 encode — these are essential if you want to get an informed answer to your question.

Compressor is not working for me right now, so I just export a fully rendered reference file from FCP. I’m burning with iDVD at “Best Quality” setting. If I play the file (before burning) it’s all fine and dandy, but the burned disk displays the problems I’ve mentioned.

Is your sequence 486? It sounds almost like a field order problem. If you are sending a 486 clip to iDVD it might just crop 3 tip and 3 bottom, or worse, scale down the 6 lines to 480 which will cause the problem you describe. It doesn’t sound like compression artifacts, but field order to me.

… of my startup disk, that is. May fix some other issues too, I’m told.
Thanks for the responses.
