Activity Forums DVD Authoring artifacting during transitions

  • artifacting during transitions

    Posted by Joy E reed on October 11, 2007 at 2:55 pm

    We have artifacts appearing during transitions, (not all transitions maybe 20% of them) only when played on television. DVDSP & apple DVD player play smoothly, which made us think it was a field dominance issue. We recompressed our film with compression markers at problem areas and changed field dominance from auto to lower first. Some of the artifacts were resolved, others remain, and new problem areas resulted. Do you have any ideas to help us work through this problem?

    Here’s the specs:

    DVD SP2
    01:39:03:00 min. cut
    Compressed using compressor V 1.0:
    (MPEG-2 120 min high quality encode)
    2 pass VBR enabled NTSC
    Max data rate 8.2 4:3
    field domain: bottom best motion
    Ave data rate 3.5
    open gop size 15, structure IBBP

    Thanks in advance for your help!

    Hey, FY everybody’s I,
    After several failed attempts, we bit the bullet, bought BitVice, set DVNC to 3, and the problem was solved almost immediately.
    Thanks to all who replied for your help!
