  • glitches in compressor

    Posted by Dave Todon on March 9, 2011 at 7:07 pm

    Hello All
    I have been trying to export my Final cut pro project using compressor setting DVD 90 minutes Best quality to get an MPEG2 file which then I can bring into DVD StudioPro and make dvds from. However every time I export I get the exact same glitch in the exact same spot ( some times it is worse than others) and no matter what I do it happens over and over again. I even tried exporting a self contained QT of my sequence and then brought in that QT into compressor and even then I got the glitch which now I am certain is a compressor problem. Why is this happening, and more importantly how can I fix it? Please help!!

    I should mention that the glitch looks more like a pulsation on the screen that gets worse as it progresses for about 20 second or so and then it just goes away. Also I am using compressor 3 in conjunction to Finalcut 7. THANK YOU

    Download “Compressor Repair” from Digital Rebellion. It’s free.

    compressor repair probably won’t help.

    I know what your talking about though, you are
    seeing blocky artifacts really bad right?

    The only way I know to get rid of it is changing
    the encoding from VBR to CBR. Getting it to 90min
    duration at CBR will be tough though.

    I actually had to use a different encoder to get
    past this issue.

    Chris, I appreciate the reply. That is exactly what is happening. May I ask. . . which other encoder did you use?
    Im trying the one pass CBR right now. so we’ll see.

    Adobe Media Encoder.

    It came bundled with After Effects cs4.

    on a side note Media Encoder does a MUCH better job
    of creating DVD .m2v files, from HD sources.
    Way better than compressor on the highest quality resize setting.

    CS5 adds
    64-bit (faster)
    auto-start feature (i hated having to hit the start button)
    more presets
