I use a standard Canon XL2 and then use FCP to capture. I believe i capture at NTSC DVPRO something like that.
I export in the same format/codec DVPRO NTSC. I tried Photo/JPEG, then NTSC DVPRO, then h.264 export…image looks very good, but seems to be a slight stutter. This is where the blocky comes in.
How about if I tried to compress to mpeg 2 in multiple clips by chopping up the video? THEN bring each mpeg 2 clip into DVD Pro? I did a 10 second DVD with 7.0 mbps VBR 1 pass and it looked great. Am i going down the right path??
