So are you saying that the DVD player is limited to 720 x 480 and hence the hollywood DVDs are encoded to 720 x 480 as well but the just look better – even though the TVs are 1080p?

That being the case, why are movies in DVD format of superior quality? Are you saying that a typical movie on DVD is limited to the lower resoluton as well? The picture quality from a commercial DVD movie is like 10x better.

Thank you very much for your efforts in trying to help me. I have decided to go back to square 1 and retrim all of my original videos directly in VMS and scrap all of my edits from PMB. Unfortunately this has cost me about 30 hours of extra work but this method is working for me.
Part of my problem is that I did not have VMS originaly when I did the trims so I had not way of testing the results.

I tried using the exporter tab on the movies trimmed in PMB and it got even worse in terms of adding frames when.I then went to the original camera footage and it was fine when I imported it into VMS. At the moment I think that Sony VMS doesnt like video trimmed by Sony PMB. All of my previoius trims are now useless.
The interesting thing is that the trimmed AVCHD files from Sony PMB look fantastic when you play them in anything other than VMS.

Upon more analysis, I have discovered that Movie Studio actually is adding frames causing this motion to happen.
The video as I view it in PMB is about 500 frames long. Each frame is unique.
When I import the same video into Vegas, I see for example that everything looks fine up to frame 63. And then frame 64 was inserted and is identical to frame 62. Frame 65 looks like it carries on from frame 63.
So when the movie plays at normal speed – say of someone running – the runner is running forward then at frame 64 steps back.
What could be causeing Vegas to add the frame that doesnt exist when I view it in PMB?

Thank you for your post.I dont think that it has anything to do with speed of the computer because the spot where the video seems to ‘stick’ is always the same location within a clip regardless of how I import the clip into Vegas. The other reason why I don’t think it has to do with the computer speed is that when I generate an AVI from Vegas, it ‘sticks’ in the identical spot which tells me that somehow Vegas has actualy corrupted the file on importing and when an AVI is created, Vegas is just outputting the file it thinks it has.
Has anyone else seen anything like this? Can there be some sort of setting in Vegas that I dont have set right?
