  • I am having trouble getting good quality video to Bluray & DVD with .mts files

    I have used these posts before and find them very helpful. I have run into a problem though that I can’t seem to solve. I am making both Bluray and DVD versions from video from a consumer camera that does HD video; .MTS files. I have done discs with this camera before and have gotten ok results. This last time though on both the Bluray and the DVD’s the video is very jumpy when the is any movement. It almost seems like an interlacing problem. Whenever the camera moves quickly or even the subjects in the video move quickly the issue is evident. I do not see this if I play the .MTS video files back directly on Windows Media Player but I do see the same issue when playing them back on VLC. The person I am doing this for wonders if it was because he used the 24p recording option. I’ve tried changing the render settings many different ways. The best result I got on Bluray was burning right to disc from the timeline but even that was not perfect. The DVD is really poor and have not been able to burn from the timeline directly (see below).

    Also, I was trying to render direct from the timeline a DVD and was not able to because the file size was to big for a single layer disc. The total time was only 1 hour 10 minutes. Is there no setting that can be changed or do I have to render that out first?

    Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks!

    Panning with a consumer camera, with lower-quality CMOS sensor, is never going to look good unless the pan is very slow. There’s not much you can really do except crank up the bit rate during the final render and check the box for two-pass rendering.

    Thank you for the response and suggestions. I will give it another try with the “two pass” checked.

    So you don’t think the 24p setting had any effect?
