VOB-MPEG Stream Clip-FCPro Edit-back out to DVD
I am using mpeg streamclip to convert VOB files off of a DVD (the disk itself) to .MOV so I can edit in FCP. I did this, edited my footage and it played fine in the timeline. Sent to compressor to create the m2v and then again to DVD SP for DVD build. The finished DVD doesn’t look as sharp as the original, there are artifacts around the subjects (football players in this case) and they seem to be moving faster..kind of jittery. Is this a mpeg streamclip issue, Compressor issue, DVD Studio Pro issue?…..or maybe source media dimension size vs dimensions size in the timeline?…

Don’t expect perfect results. You are re compressing an already compressed file. Editing it further, which is adding more compression to the video. Then you are compressing it again.
Crumple up a sheet of paper and see if you can make it flat again.

Hi Patrick,
The results will depends very much on the codec you have used for the transcoding to QT movie.
If you transcode to 8b Uncompress you will keep all the quality of the original.
if you transcode to DV you will destroy the picture.
Cheers,

??. I get the compression notion. When I create the MOV from streamclip the file is over 20gb..????
