downsampled HD footage looks terrible on TV!
Hi, this is my first post on here, and any help or guidance would really save my life! I’ve been making a video in FCP using a mix of footage from an NTSC DVX100 and converted HD to SD footage from an NTSC HVX200. I exported it to region 0 NTSC in DVDSP (Im in the UK but this dvd will be distributed worldwide, hence the NTSC)….. All looks great, and when I burnt a test DVD, it worked fine on my macbook, G5 desktop and also on my PAL DVD player / TV. However, when I tested it on a different PAL DVD player and TV, strangely the footage shot on the HVX looked absolutely awful, the movement is extremely jittery and strobe-like, while the footage shot on the DVX is fine. Does anyone know the cause of this problem and how I can prevent it? I’m thinking that maybe it was the way I converted the HD footage? Many thanks in advance!!

Since it works well on one DVD player and badly on another, I’d guess there’s a problem with the second player’s NTSC conversion.

thanks, i’ll check it out! But would that still be the case considering that the footage from different sources acts differently in the dvd?
