  DVD playback Flicker on TV (but not original export from AE7 as MPEG2-DVD)

  Posted by Jay Ingles on January 17, 2007 at 7:51 pm

  Hi,

  heres the problem. I’ve created a simple slideshow with fades (no zooms) in after effects 7 and exported as MPEG-2 DVD. brought this into DVD Architect 3, added a menu and a simple play track button. It encodes in no time and burns no problems. During playback on an interlaced TV the image flickers in the high-contrast/detailed parts of the image.

  i’ve tried a couple things and can’t figure it out. i’ve read another post on this site but it wasn’t resolved. any help is appreciated.

  all the settings i used to export from AE7 are below.
  thanks.

  heres what i’ve exported from after effects as:
  DISK 1:
  Render Settings:
  quality best
  res full
  size 720×480
  field render off
  frame rate: 29.97
  pulldown off

  Output Module:
  Format: MPEG2-DVD
  Final Size: 720×480

  DISK 2 (only changed lower field first):
  Render Settings:
  quality best
  res full
  size 720×480
  field render Lower Field First
  frame rate: 29.97
  pulldown off

  Output Module:
  Format: MPEG2-DVD
  Final Size: 720×480

  DISK 3 (only changed upper field first):
  Render Settings:
  quality best
  res full
  size 720×480
  field render Upper Field First
  frame rate: 29.97
  pulldown off

  Output Module:
  Format: MPEG2-DVD
  Final Size: 720×480

  DISK 4:
  exported field render off
  Format: MicrosoftDV (keyframes every 1 frame, spatial qual 100)
  (note: never actually burned this b/c i watched the playback and there were other problems that played back poorly)

  Perhaps field render should be on.

  Also, it’s a fact of life that when you take a high detail image, you can get interlace flicker on fine detail such as thin lines, and the only way to prevent that is to “dumb down” the image with a touch of blur.
