Weird interlacy look during movement. Please Help
I just rendered and burned a wedding video. On the TV (I’m too poor for a monitor:) the edges of things are all interlace-y looking when they are in motion. It’s a dizzying sort of effect. Everything was shot, captured and rendered the way I’ve done it for the last 2 years.
The only thing I can think of that’s different is the video is 61 minutes long, and I used a 60 min encode in Compressor.
Should I use the 90 encode?
Is there something else I dont know about that would cause this to happen? In the burning stage or something.
I use FCP and DVDSP3. shot on DVX100a
Thanks so much!

Hi Kat,

Kat,
If you encode directly from your FCP timeline, you will avoid compression, and it will automatically place compression markers at every transition. Yes, it will take a LOT longer, and tie up FCP, but depending on your material, transitions, motion etc. it can be well worth it. Read this:

Have a wonderful day.

If you used Compressor to do your MPEG2 encode what most likely happened was the fields got reversed. When you drop a ref file, or QT clip in to Compressor it automatically chooses the field order. In most cases this would need to be “lower”. However, I’ve noticed Compresser get’s it’s “Auto” mode wrong about 30% of the time. It will often choose “upper” and thus screw up your MPEG encode just as you describe. If you look at the motion in your DVD in slow motion you will notice the fields jumping backwards as the video plays. It will play the upper, then lower when it should be playing the lower, then upper. DV is always recorded lower field first. HD is upper field first. Compresser often guesses wrong.
In compressor, after selecting the 90 min preset just check the Inspector to make sure that it’s set to “lower”.Michael Alberts
