Hi Eric,

It is a video but it is a static shot, with no moving elements in it. So technically there is motion but on a quick look it looks like a static image.

And this happens when skipping chapters in the actual movie, whether there is motion or not, although it is more noticeable in the ”static” shots.

Hi Daniel, my name is actually from Spain and people do tend to get confused with your home country!

Anyway, I’ve tried different DVD media with no luck. Also, this issue only happens on some DVD/Bluray players, not all of them (although it’s the majority).

I’m a bit familiar with GOPs and the structure, I have messed around with different combinations (open/closed, IP/IPB/IPPB, size, turning the options up to best, etc.) but I still see the problem. Do you have any suggestion as to what may be the best combination to fix it?

Regarding the buffer, I’ve also tried reducing the Max. Bitrate and again, no luck.

I’ve realized the problem is also present when skipping chapters in the actual movie, so I assume that confirms it’s a problem with the compression settings…

Hi Michael,

When you say progressive assets, do you mean going to Compressor – Inspector – Output Fields – Progressive? If so, I’ve already tried that with no luck. (Aso Deinterlace – Best (Motion compensated)

I’ve always noticed a short freeze but never seen the image get pixelated and/or degraded. And the DVD players I’ve tested on don’t have the same problem with retail DVDs, so my only guess is that there’s a problem with the encoding of my assets.

The original files are 1080p Apple Pro Res (HQ).

Any ideas?

OK, I understand the Warnings are not a problem but just a note from DVD Studio Pro, and that they have nothing to do with my problem, so you can ignore that part.

But still I need your help with the Menu problem!

Again, thanks.
