I always thought of 24P as being like a vinyl record, people are attached to 24p the same way they were attached to the warm sound of LPs, but that warm sound (and clicks and pops) were distortion. The difference of 24P to 30P (or F for you canon owners) is enough to give a fluidity that just isn’t there with 24p, you can pan faster, and fast action is just smoother. Yet people are attached to it for its flaws.
I personally see big differences with interlaced vs non interlaced and find progressive superior, even more so with fast action.Okay.. you can start the flames now.

For me, just this one feature was worth the $500 update.. I’ve gotten way too much shakey footage, this is a real blessing.

Thanks,
I tried it, a nice idea, but the program only goes up to 1680, not full resolution of 16:9. If you know anything free or near free that does this easily, please let me know.Thanks!

Hi Paco,
Can you give a little bit better description other than lines? I’m just trying to understand, are they thick, thin (a pixel size or interlace) just at the bottom, all over, intermittent.. or what?Thanks

Ummm.. did you try a dead bunny?
Contrary to what alot of people believe.. these things are useful even inside, you will get rid of alot of airconditioner noise with it..
(Rycote 18cm Small Hole Softie = dead bunny)

Okay folks,
I have to tell you about fix as it wasn’t easy to figure out or obvious (to me). I’m really surprised alot of people don’t run into it.. But here’s the answer.. it has NOTHING to do with the DVDs or anything else..I am Running Sony DVD Architect 3.0.. and I didn’t use any theme or template, just what came up to put together what I wanted. Under “default” conditions, if you go under Options->Preferences->Burning the setting for “Minimum Video Bitrate” was set to 2.0 Mbps. After some checking, I couldn’t find anything that told me what standard DVDs are recorded at.. but I ran across this nifty utility called “bitrate14.exe” (google for it, you’ll find it).. that when you run it with a prerecorded DVD (I used “Fight Club”).. it tells you the average bitrate. Anyway, Fight Club played out at about 8 Mbps, so that is what I changed Vegas’s setting too. Once I did this, Fast forward and Fast Reverse (at several speeds) worked great..no problems at all. So.. I hope this helps somebody else.. Good Luck!

So what Brand(s) do you use, I have no problem spending the money if I know the results are worth it. I’m hoping not to have to buy 1/2 dozen brands before getting the right ones. Any brand suggestions? Thanks!

Hi All,
I thought I’d update with what I have heard. I still do not know the truth or not, so anyone elses comments are very welcome. I’m a software engineer at a company that makes video servers, there are a number of video gurus here intimate with the internals of mpeg files, etc. So I talked to a few to see if they had a clue. What I was told was that this is common to homemade DVDs, it likely had nothing to do with the encoding, and was in the burner, burn process and media itself. Suggestions were to burn at the slowest possible speed and experiment with media from different vendors. If you have something that is working for you, could you please tell me the make and model of your DVD burner and what media you use? I haven’t got the media with me so I don’t know the brand name (I’m cheap so it was the cheapest thing generic brand I could find I know ;-), but I was using a dual Layer burner that is in my Dell XPS Gen2 laptop.Thanks!
