Export to DVD settings question.
I’m trying to export video with Premiere Pro directly to DVD. I’ve had several videos that came out with a odd motion flicker on the movies. If the subject is perfectly still, then the footage looks great. But, If the subject moves their hands or bodies it’s like a studdering motion, looks like its flickering.
I’ve tried using 6mbps VBR 2 pass or 7mbps CBR.
Field Order = Lower (I’ve also tried upper because I read somewhere that DVD is upper? Not sure if that’s true or not)
I know I’m probably missing something small, but I can’t figure it out.
So i guess my question is, if I have a video that’s under 1 hr of footage (for a 4GB DVD), what is the best setting that will not show any studder/flicker or motion problems.
Also, If I have over an hour (say 1hr and 20 mins) what would be the best setting for that?

The field order for export settings to DVD should be the same as your source video. Digital Video is always Lower field first, thats why Lower is the default.
If your source is not DV, experiment with None and Upper.
The bitrate should not cause motion shudder issues. The bitrate is dictated by the length of the movie, the capacity of the disc and an upper limit of about 8 mbps when using Premiere with no Dolby export option.
I have a chart;

I’m using DV footage from a PD-150. It’s captured via Premiere Pro 2.0 using the DV codec.
I’m also using PCM audio, not dolby.
The quality is left at 5.0 and bitrate is 7 mbps. I’ve also tried VBR 2 pass and have had the same issue.
The image is having some sort of motion studder. When the subject moves, it’s like a strobe effect almost on the moving parts. It’s just a weird studder, not fluid.
This is exhibited on two different machines. My laptop and editing station.
I know it’s probably something small that I’m missing, but I just can’t figure it out!
Thanks for the link, but it’s basically what I have setup. Good info though.
Anyone else had this happen or know what the cause may be?

Previewing interlaced footage should always be done on an NTSC monitor. Computer monitors are progressive scan and field issues are often noticeable during motion but not when played to a TV.

It’s not an interlace problem (or at least appears to be). I’m viewing the DVD on an NTSC TV w/ a DVD player, not a computer. Although it exhibits the same effect on both screens.

Describe the motion, is it normal everyday motion, or is it akin to a pitcher throwing a fast ball, or a break dancer?

I’m also having a similar problem. Capturing 8-bit uncompressed using a Blackmagic card.
Burning a DVD from the timeline. Tried both Lower & Progressive @ 7mb CBR.
The interlaced looks very soft. Disclaimers/supers almost hurt your eyes to read.
And with progressive, the motion artifacts or steppiness is horrible.I know Adobe wants you to buy Encore, but Premiere should be able to make a better
DVD than this.Any suggestions?

The footage is simply a speaker at a meeting. There’s no super fast motion, just an individual who’s talking with their hands.
It’s like choppy video when they move, but it’s only the moving parts of the video.
I finally did get it to burn a good quality, but it seems to be hit or miss with Premiere Pro. I understand I can use Encore, but sometimes it’s just easier to burn straight from Premiere if I don’t need anything other than a straight play video.
It’s a reoccuring problem though. That’s why I’m trying to find a solution to it.
