DVDA3 Menu problem, jagged buttons.
Hey Everyone,
I’m having a problem with a motion background I have in DVDA3c.
The menu was created in Vegas6d. I have one large picture to the right, a video PIP type in the upper left corner, a text line at the top and under the PIP video. I also have a .psd file with transparent background for buttons in front of the text under the PIP video. When I rendered this in Vegas and looked at the .mpg file it looks great, the buttons (.psd file).
But when I bring the menu.mpg file into DVDA as a motion back ground, everything looks good except the buttons, they look jagged, and I haven’t even played the preview yet and it still looks jagged in the preview.
I don’t know what to do at this point, any suggestions?
Your help is much appreciated. Thanks
Mark.

Render menus from Vegas as DV-AVI. Menus always get recompressed so DVD A is uncompressing the MPEG2 and recompressing back to MPEG2 with the additional elements added.

Edward,
I went into Vegas and rendered to avi uncompressed progressive scan. Brought it into DVDA for menu background. It still looked jagged and when previewed, it still looked the same as before, kind of jagged. I went and checked the properties of the avi and it said that it was lower field first, but I know that it was progressive scan, so I clicked on the drop down button and selected “non progressive scan”. Now it looked great and preview great too.
I burned the DVD and viewed it in a DVD player and everything was great.
Thanks for your help on this. It means allot that there are people like you out there willing to lend a hand.Thanks, Mark.
