ALL HELP NEEDED DUE TOMORROW!!!

It all looks normal…like it should. Proper settings. Without seeing it it is really tough to give ideas as to what is causing it.
Have you tried other TVs? DVD players? What does it look on your computer screen played on a DVD?

So it happens when you burn it to DVD.
What settings did you use to encode?

THE STRANGEST THING…. when i video tape it on my tv with my HVX200 it doesnt show up…. I see it as if there were no skips…. ??? im so confused

i think if you are seeing the problem only on the TV and not on your lcd’s, then that points to an Interlacing problem.
If you started the project in an earlier incarnation of FCP and have upgraded to 6 then you might have had FCP offer to correct field dominance errors when you first opened the exisiting project in the upgraded FCP. If you did, then FCP has probably caused the problem.
Go through your clips and check for a filter called something like “shift field” ( i forget the actual name). If its there then i bet if you deactivate each one the problem will disappear.
good luck

Actually, I ended up adding a shift field to some clips to see if it would FIX the problem… so its not that… 🙁

As a test, burn a copy with DVD Studio Pro (without a menu, just for a test) and see if it looks better.
You can customize menus in DVDSP as well.

[jujuelliot] “Quality: one pass CBR”
That is a very low quality setting. You really should be using the two pass VBR settings in Compressor. The BEST options in the DVD presets.
[jujuelliot] “transfer it to a DVD program called DVD SONIC PRO. And then burn it to a cd from there”
CD or DVD? And I’d try DVD Studio Pro to see if there is a difference. Jeremy is right, this is VERY MUCH not an FCP issue, but in how you make the DVD.
(good catch)

The reason the quality so so low is because i have one 30 min show, a 9 min version, and the 16 different 5 minute sections that fit on the dvd as well… all of the other sections arent flickering up, I used the same compressor settings for an m2v file. Just doesnt make sense why it would be the DVD program when every other section of even the same shots are fine, no flicker but on my main 30 minute show they are messed up… Also before about a month ago when I exported this. I used the same export settings, no flicker. The length of the film has stayed the same, the only changes I made were replacing some shots with newer shots.
It just doesnt make sense, thats why i believe its a problem in FCP

Im doing a test right now. Im burning a DVD through DVD Studio 4 with a new sequence with the footage pasted into it.
Im also burning a DVD through DVD studio pro from the orinal sequence.
Also I am using my compression setting for the m2v files through compressor.
Lets see what i come up with.. this should tell me whether or not its FCP or my DVD program.
