idvd issues from Final Cut Pro made sequence

Are you look at the DVD on a computer monitor? Could it be interlacing you’re seeing?

On the computer monitor it is perfect, when I create the dvd it has the issues. 🙁

Are you looking at the finished DVD on the computer monitor? Or on a television set? From your description it sounds as if you’re seeing interlacing. iDVD does not remove interlacing and produces video designed for display on a television set.

All the best,

I have had issues with iDvd ever since I upgraded to FCP 5.1 and iDVD 6 (6 I think is right). For the last three + years I have always used iDVD for client check copies cause it was easy and quick. But not any more, too many unexplainable problems… So I have had to learn FCP DVD Studio Pro. Much more complicated, but no problems getting a pretty DVD except it takes longer.

I use a Cinewave Card on a dual gig Mac. So some of the problem might be lack of new Cinewave drivers. Or iDVD just doesn’t play nice with 8bit YUV any more.

And I was quick with iDVD.

I don’t think is pertinent to bentramer81’s problem, but the Cinewave is pretty obsolete. There haven’t been new drivers for it going back a couple of versions at least.

All the best,

Tom, My iDVD problems were usually jitter edges on boxes that were moving left to right and it looks like an interlace problem… The jitter I never had before. I would export 8, 10 bit YUV and non compressed from FCP and have the same problems. I liked iDVD for how quick it was to use and had great results until lately.. I am just trying to encourage bentramer to take the plunge to DVD stuudio Pro which is a lot more complicated to put it mildly. But trouble free for me so far.
