John, that sounds like the classic field order issue. I’m not that familiar with iDVD but you should have an option to set the required field interlace order. PAL requires upper field first, I believe NTSC is lower.

Not natively Eyal. DVD files are encoded as MPEG2 but I believe there are many utilities that fellow Cow supporters will be able to point you to for MPEG2 to AVI conversion.

1GB is 1,000MB not 1,000,000MB – that would be 1TB. If only that kind of capacity were available to us today!

Hi again Don. Next question then, do they show on your TV or just your computer monitor?
-
The majority of BSOD’s are caused by driver bugs, most notably video card drivers. It would be worth checking for an update for your card and installing/re-installing.
Are you using a specific capture card or just a plain 1394 port?
-
Don, are the lines vertical or horizontal? Are they on edges of objects with a white background or over the entire white area?

It’s possible you have the two tracks out of phase with each other. This can create the effect you are hearing. It’s selective in the same way that waves on water interact with each other. A trough and its opposite – a peak can cancel each other out, sometimes completely.
It is more likely this problem is a hardware or cable issue. I’ve also seen this happen on TV sets where the audio is correct going in but there is a phase error in the TV’s wiring/audio processing.

Agreed Mike unless you use one of Sony’s recent DVD Recorders that feature a firewire (iLink) port that not only allows control of the camera from the recorder but also does the MPEG2 conversion and writes the required info to the disk to allow playback on any standard DVD player.
Not sure if I understood the original question though! At the end of the day you’re going to end up with MPEG2 but at least you’ll have more control over the encoding if you go via PPro.

Sorted!!
Optimise Stills appears in two places, Project Settings – Video and Rendering and Export Settings – Video and Rendering. BOTH were disabled as mentioned previously but it appears that unless you remove the offending still (last week the project setting still had optimise set) and drag it back from the project folder to the timeline the export option is completely ignored.
Surely the Export settings should override whatever you set otherwise what is the point of putting the option in two places if the project setting takes priority? The project setting for optimise sticks with the original clip on the timeline regardless. Could someone check this please? I’m well used to the ‘unusual’ effects in many of Avid’s applications but this one is a first for me with Adobe.
Lack of black also sorted. Although it was at the end of the timeline in PP1.5 and played correctly, the ‘workspace’ marker on the timeline wasn’t including it although it was getting rendered and strangely did work in Media Player.
-
That’s exactly what I did. The timeline in PP1.5 has exactly 5-seconds of black on the end and playing back the exported AVI in Media Player and PP1.5 works perfectly so the export of video is working but looks like the metadata is being ignored by Encore.
Just tried the same in the original install of Encore 1.01 and it works fine there!
Mmm. Adobe, I like a challenge but I could do without it right now (not that they ever listen)!
