Flickering after buring Blu-Ray with Sony DVD Architect
Hi all,
I’m seeing a serious flickering issue in one clip and I hope you guys can explain to me why that is.
Here is my workflow
1) Clip was filmed 1920×1080 25i
2) Clip was added to Sony DVD Architect 5.2 in 3 ways
– after converting to 1920×1080 25i .mp4 (Sony Vegas Pro 10)
– after converting to 1920×1080 50p .mp4 (Sony Vegas Pro 10)
– without any conversionIn all three cases, the end result (Blu-Ray) flickers (dark-light-dark-light) strongly when watched on my HD TV. The clips that I put in, however, do not show flickering (maybe a bit noisy). This also holds for the preview in DVDA (on a progressive screen).
Because I was not allowed to upload the original file (.mts), I uploaded the closest thing: the interlaced .mp4 (which I think has been upscaled by Creative Cow):

Can somebody explain to me why I am observing this flickering? The film was shot and exported natively at 25i, so I would expect no strange artefacts?

I don’t see any flickering in the sample you uploaded. I guess it only flickers after making a Blu-ray which makes it kind of impossible for us to see what’s going on.
Try render using Sony AVC with the Blu-ray 1920×1080-50i, 16 Mbps video stream template. Then render your audio as Dolby Digital AC-3 and give the file the same name just with the .ac3 extension. Finally, make a Blu-ray disc from that render and see if it helps.

Hi John,
Actually that’s the template I used in the second bullet of step 2), and it also showed the flickering. I also don’t see the flickering in the deinterlaced movie so I’m starting to wonder if maybe I’m suffering from Moire (the stone wall in the back which shows the flicker does have a fine grid of light/dark in itself)…
Regards,
Kees
