    I just finished a 10 minute edit and am trying to author a DVD. My G5 does not have DVD studio pro and so I am exporting it as a quicktime animation, lower field dominance into my Macbook Pro. When it is previewed in DVD studio pro, the picture looks like it is having serious interlacing issues. Any Idea which codec I should be exporting out of AVID Xpress Pro into DVD Studio Pro 4?

    Please Help!!!

    Just for fun, have you tried switching to Upper Field? Same results? Animation for lossless is great, H264 is a great codec in general. I doubt the problem lies with the codec. Did you try running it through Compressor before DVDSP4? Could also be a problem with the encoding process to MPEG2 – If the encoder was expecting Upper Field and you fed it Lower.

    Just throwin’ out ideas and seeing what sticks.

    Hmm. Well I figured out the problem just using the ‘same as source’ codec in Avid. Oddly enough it worked, lower field. I always have used lower field but have been working with the old dust-buster Media100. I wonder why the animation codec came out so funky as opposed to avid’s.
