It’s just that easy…
Jeez!!! I feel like I’ve been scratching my left ear with my right hand. I’ll give it a whirl Jeremy, thank you so much. I gotta stop reading Ken Stone…

See how it works for you. If it’s not good enough, there’s a few other things we can tweak.

One quick note, if I UNcheck “make movie self contained”, the “recompress all frames” box is greyed out. Does this make a difference?

No, that’s totally fine and what you want.

Hey Dave, thanks for the input. I checked frame rate of the original footage and it’s 23.98. I just burned a new copy and played it back on a tube tv as well as 42″ LCD. It’s getting better, much better, but still not what I would consider broadcast or distribution ready. Any scenes with white text on black background show a distinct banding in the black along the text plane. All of the text flickers, more so on the LCD. In the fireside scene, the whole screen flickers a bit on the plane of the fire, only on the tube tv though, looks great albiet a bit dark on the LCD. I’m starting to suspect I may not be in legal colors since the issues only occur in the extremes of the color spectrum, especially black. What’s your thoughts given this information. Much appreciated.

And I bet this is the composite signal on a tube tv? It sounds like chroma crawl to me.

And you have to remember you are watching an SD signal with your tv doing the up-convert. If your DVD or TV supports progressive, I’d throw that switch. Most like, your DVD player will have a ‘progressive’ switch or something similar to it.

Hey Jeremy, thanks again for your help last night. Final product is MUCH better. I used your tips and then added a few tweeks and I now have an acceptable product. Client came by today to get his review copy and was elated.

That makes sense. The tube tv doesn’t have component. Sounds like a live with it situation.

I’ll try it. I also think changing fonts will help tremendously as well. The client insisted on a Serif typewriter style font against my advice. Now that he’s seen the result, he’s reconsidering thankfully.
