Video Drop Off’s / ghosting or trails – Print to Tape
Hi Everyone,
I have been going through this forum for quite sometime regarding various issues and this forum has helped me a lot. Now i am facing 2 problems for which i need your expert suggestions/solutions
1. Rendering my project as MPEG and using Adobe encore to author my DVD. While watching the product on television, i find that where ever there is fast motion involved i see ghost images or trails (trails of the hand, leg, hair…etc., when there is fast motion.).
As a workaround i have been wanting to output the project to tape and recapture and that is when i found out that
2. I have used the Print to Tape option from the Tools Menu as well as output a small area of the project with fast motion to file and used the Print to Tape option from the Capture tool also, but the DV cam shows blank areas, like the blue background during capture and quite a lot of areas in the capture as blank areas.I have disabled all startup programs and unwanted services to make sure it is not a conflict problem and i have also changed tapes(media). But i still have the same problem.
I have done over 8-10 home DVD’s earlier and managed to resolve similar issues while i was using Adobe Premiere (usually was caused due to fields being reversed). For your information i have captured the video using MATROX RT2500 but had difficulties using adobe and switched to SONY VEGAS. I have made sure that the fields are setup right in the VEGAS project.
Can someone suggest where the problem is.
Awaiting your suggestions and comments,
Regards,

More details:
I assume you rendered to MPEG2?
What preset did you use?[Dilson] “2.

Sounds like you’re losing firewire connectivity periodically. This is frequently cause by IRQ sharing problems. It can also be caused by some hardware problems (i.e. VIA chipsets have been problematic in the past).
Are you using on-board firewire or a separate card? If onboard, you may want to try adding a firewire card. If you’re already using a card, try moving it to a different slot.

Thanks for your reply. I managed to fix the ghost/trail problem which was being caused by some codec. I still face the problem of the video being dropped off while printing to tape from the timeline. This does not happen if i output it to a file and then output the file to TAPE using the Capture tool in vegas. Any comments??????

Same shit. How did you fix the problem of trails and stuff??? When I print to DV tape the motion is not smooth. The same proble affects my TMPG DVD author, which creates me shitty vob files from good mpeg files. I suspect it has to do with some trial softvare I installed, like DVD ripper, DVD shrink and so on. I have unislalled them, but the problam is still there. I did these things many times before and never had this problems before. Please help…

I have finally solved the problem (It took me a week of sweating and half a million tial files made). The problem was caused by new DiVX codec, version 6.1. Thanks DiVx guys, great stuff 🙁 After I removed their bloody codac from my machine it went on working smoothly again.
Cheers everyone
