  • Photo JPEG to DVCPRO 50 looks awful!

    Posted by Tom Donnelly on August 1, 2008 at 3:04 am

    Using compressor to transcode 1024×768 photojpeg-encoded files (source is animation files, not camera-based, so progressive, no fields) to the DVCPRO 50 codec for editing in FCP.

    In both the Encoder > “video setting” button where one chooses the codec as well as in the “Frame Controls” tab, I am setting options to “progressive.”

    But footage consistently comes out looks crappy, and, well, interlaced. Looks like obvious field combing artifacts through thin lines, everywhere.

    Is there a way to get this codec to not compress to interlaced video? I thought it would be a great-looking option to use for lower overhead while editing, as photojpeg obviously bogs down and requires tons of rendeirng while editing in FCP. Do not have FCP 6 or I’d encode to PRoRes…

    Ideas?
