  • Burn DVd – video has a stutter.

    Posted by Paul Strilka on March 23, 2006 at 10:44 pm

    I have a 24pa project the was cut on an avid in a 23.97 timeline.
    I export a QT with sorenson squeeze- best quality.
    I tried every combination of transcode obtions in Encore and the video on the final DVD always has a slight stutter whenever there is rapid movement on the screen-
    (for instance- a scarf in high wind does not wave and flow smooth like it does when played down through Avid timeline)

    When I burn direct to a stand alone DVD player- the motion plays correct.
    But I can not create menus.

    What am I doing wrong in Encore?

    Please help. What are the correct Encore settings for a 13 minute 24 frame project?

    thank you

    Hey Bokertone,
    I feel your pain man. I was about to post the same problem. I’ve dealt with this problem and my projects are 24p and I edited them in AVID 29.97 NTSC timeline going into Sorensen squeeze, then into Adobe Encore.

    I export a quicktime reference from audio and video flattened mixdowns!

    And on certain DVD players I get shaky/Jittery video!

    Please let me know if you find the answer.

    If anyone can help please reply

    i can also be reached at questions@setapartpictures.com

    Thanks in advance,

    M.J.

    There must be an answear to this.
    I am actually editing in a time 23. timeline- -but the way I understand it- Encore transcodes everything to 29.97 because that’s the standard for dvd.
    It looks like it’s dropping frames- so I figured it must be a “24p” thing.
    I tried selecting “progressive” in the pre transcode settings. That did nothing.
    The QT’s play down fine on the desktop – so I’m sure it’s a transcode issue. But like I said- I tried them all (wasted a full days work) and I get the stutter/jitter everytime.
    I’m thinking of taking the project over to FCP.

    Make sure that your transcode rate is not set too high. I was experiencing issues until I lowered the bit rate. Also remember that you have to leave room for the audio in the bit rate. Try transcoding at around 6mbps with a CBR and see if the issues persist.

    Just tried suggestion – CBR 6rate.
    Same problem.
    Thanks for all the help.
    I’m back to burning on a stand alone deck via composite. Motion is smooth and (while not great) the image looks less compressed. The only reason to use Encore was to create a cool menu page.
    At the end of the day- I’d rather have a decent looking program- than slick opening graphics.

    See, with video I have no issues.
    For me it was with After Effects renders. Once I figured out to let Encore do the rendering (Adobe dynamic Link), and once I reduced the bit-rate, well problem solved. Video looks great.

    Sorry I couldn’t help more,

    What is Adobe dynamic Link

    Adobe Dynamic Link is a component of the Adobe production studio. It is what allows you to work between the various Adobe applications.
