DVD plays back blurred motion
Hi
I have compiled a 30sec Video in FinalCutPro 6 . Using the motion tab to animate small graphics shapes (.psd, .tiff formats) rotating and moving through the screen. When I play back the sequence it plays perfectly sharp and smooth on the Precision Monitor ( I use the Black Magic Decklink Extreme Card looping a precision monitor through a Betacam SP VTR).
I exported the file using the settings below and burnt a DVD in DVDSP4. The DVD plays back with what I looks like a field order problem.
I have previously burnt a 47 minute documentary onto DVD from DVDSP4 using the same settings below. The docementary was purely video captured from a Betacam (Capture settings: Black Magic 8 bit ) in FCP6.
I exported and and burnt in DVDSP4 using the same settings below. The general video appeared okay, but areas of fast movements were pixalated.
From FCP 6:
The movie files were exported from FCP 6
movie file : FCP QT – Blackmagic 8 bit uncompressed
seq settings: 8bit, upperfield, 720x 576 (CCIR 601/ DV PAL 5:4),In DVDSP 4 Preference:
MPEG-2 SD DVD
Field Order: Auto
Mode: One Pass
Bit Rate: 6.9 Mbps
Motion Est: BestDisc First Plays the 4:3 track which is the imported/encoded file from FCP 6
Any suggestion where the problem of blurred motion and what appears to be field order problem may be.
(I am also putting this post in the DVDSP post)

I did a compression in DVD SP using similar settings, and then used the same in Compressor 3. Compressor’s result was FAR superior to what I saw in DVD SP… might try that… then just import resulting files in DVD SP for the burn…

You’ve got to export directly to Compressor from FCP. I’m not 100% sure why, but I think that certain codecs use the “wrong” field dominance within FCP. For example, DV NTSC and PJPEG NTSC are supposed to be upper field first, but in FCP it’s lower.
When you export directly to Compressor, FCP tells Compressor this so it knows how to handle it properly.
