Hi,
similar issues.
SONY – HDR-SR5E ( HD handycam )
FCP – 6,0,6
Imac 20″ aluminium – Core 2 Duo – 3Go RAM – 1 x 500Go HDD external drive.
I am using FCP to list & transfer my holiday clips to the HDD, then drag them all down to the timeline,
add transitions & whatever, save as autonomous QT file. The QT file goes into compressor which produces the .ac3 and .m2v output using 120/150″ best quality parameters ( not .aiff )
These go into DVD pro to burn a DVD suitable for a home DVD player
The results are good, but I get crenellation when panning over fixed images. Steady shots are fine, but as soon as there is any movement, the crenelation reappears.
I should add, my TV is an old CRT model – could it be the refresh rate is just not high enough to avoid crenellation, and it’s time to go for a new LCD 200Hz model?

Thanks in advance for your sagacity

Lance
