HDV to DVD combing artifacts
Hi Everybody,
I’ve just finished a long-form HDV project and am having some trouble with finishing it up for dvd. I initially exported a self contained HDV master (from an HDV native timeline) and brought that into bitvice for mpeg encoding which resulted in some nasty combing artifacts in moving objects. I tried exporting as prores 422, which seemed to help a bit but it’s still pretty nasty. I’ve managed to avoid hdv all these years and wondering what workflow is recommended by the COW experts.
Thanks!

Get out of HDV as fast as possible. Before editing, transcode footage to ProRes.

I’ve already finished the editing, unfortunately. Any other suggestions?
Thanks!

Hi Dave,
I really appreciate your input. I checked the dvd playing on a CRT TV. I’ve gone back and rechecked and it turns out that the prores derived mpegs are significantly better than the HDV ones, but still not as good as I’ve been used to seeing lately.Everything I do I try to stay progressive, which I think helps alot.
Bob
