  • “random” pulsating pixel artifact on compression for DVD

    Posted by Oren Hercz on December 11, 2009 at 2:57 pm

    Hi folks,

    I’m trying to compress a 90 minute yoga video for DVD and am experiencing a strange pulsating pixelation artifact, that grows in intensity, then fades at certain moments in the m2v. The movie doesn’t have much motion (it’s a yoga video!)

    I exported an uncompressed Sony XDCAM EX Quicktime, then used a droplet to compress at 5.8-7.0 VBR with AC3 audio. I’m trying a CBR encode now to see if that helps.

    Any suggestions?!

    I’ve seen that as well.

    the only thing I tried was upping the bitrate.

    That didn’t work and I ended up using a different encoder.

    Thanks Chris,

    Using CBR seems to have fixed the problem for now, but of course, this is not ideal for achieving the best quality on a longer DVD.

    What encoder have you had success with? I’ve heard bitvice is a good one.

    Cheers,

    yeah bitvice for mac works really well.

    I actually had a friend do it with procoder.

    I just couldn’t get the size down to fit with cbr.

    Yeah, Oren, if you are doing DVDs that length in a regular basis you should consider other options.
