HELP please. DVCPRO 1080 30p slight interlacing artifacts SD DVD
Sorry to repost, but I am completely stuck here. I am editing DVCPRO HD 1080 30p footage. It is in a DVCPRO sequence 1080×1280 using corresponding PAR. Fields are none, codec is DVCPRO 108030p. Clips ingested from P2 with no field cadence. Everything looks great in my timeline and on my broadcast monitor.
If I send to compressor, letterbox within compresssor for a progressive SD 4:3 DVD, I have slight interlacing artifacts on playback. I CAN NOT get rid of them… in fact, just for the expirement, I changed every combination between sequence cadence and clip cadence… I changed sequence to upper field cadence, changed clips by hand to upper, clips to upper, sequence at no fields, etc., etc; just to see if I could get SOMETHING to work… every single method produces a picture with slight interlacing artifacts on movement. I’m at a total loss of what is going on. Can anyone shed any light here? What am I missing?
Thank you,
Brad Hodgson

Had the exact same trouble you are. Another Cow guy sent me a Compressor settings file that works much better. It’s not perfect, but way better. I haven’t figured out yet what the issue is.
Email me, I can send it to you to try.

Where are you seeing the interlace? In the resulting file itself or on a monitor? What kind of monitor?

Hey Jeremy!
Thanks for the response. Well, when I open the .m2v with QT player, it seems to look okay on my Apple display. Once it’s burnt however, it looks problematic in both Apple’s DVD player software and two separate DVD player/TV setups. For the heck of it, I pulled the .m2v back into a FCP NTSC progressive sequence and the file looks problematic on my broadcast, though…

That doesn’t suprise me as FCP can’t handle m2v files.
Is it possible for you to rencode a few seconds of the video (a part with particularly high motion, or a pan or something) so I can take a look?

Oh, and also when you take the movie in to compressor, you have to click on the movie thumbnail to being up the properties for the imported QT movie and make sure the field dom is set to none before encoding. Compressor seems to think all 1080 material is interlaced, unless it is 23.98.

Hey Jeremy,
Sure… here you go. You’d have to burn it to a DVD to see the ugliness… like I said before, playing the .m2v in QT doesn’t exhibit the problems.
