I thought I mentioned at the bottom of post #2 that the bitrate was 8, in Properties? Or did you mean the bitrate somewhere else? My render settings are the default DVD Architect wide-screen MPEG2 settings. I made no changes to those default export settings. And to be clear, the Internet exports were in .wmv format. Playing both that file and the MPEG2 file, within Windows Media Player, yields no odd results on my computer. So I’m sure you’re right, it’s either my brand new Sony TV or my brand new Sony Blu-Ray player. Guess I’ll have to drag my computer upstairs to troubleshoot that. I’m going to re-render all my footage first, to make sure nothing is wonky there. Screenshot footage coming in a few minutes.
Ok Frederic, as promised here is some footage http://www.robjames.net/pixelation.wmv that shows the problem. Notice the guy running at the bottom of the screen, right to left. That happens with everyone who moves fast. The slight blurriness of the mid foreground people is not a problem, as it’s the result of filming my TV screen, same goes for the poor audio quality. My only concern is to remedy the pixelated people moving quickly in the foreground.

You can and should do those kinds of effects in Post Production. Keep your original footage pristine. A good choice for the kind of effect you’re looking for is New Blue FX. https://www.newbluefx.com/ The one called Motion Effects, although they have MANY great effects to choose from. Hope that helps?

Frederic, thank you so much for responding! Yes I agree it’s a strange problem. I didn’t adjust the bit rate, but I did choose “Best” instead of “Good” in Full-resolution rendering quality. Could that be the problem? I haven’t connected my PC to my TV, as it’s upstairs, and my work computer is in my Recording Studio. I will try to see if it has a freeze function, and get a screenshot to you. It’s only people either walking or running past in the foreground, the rest of the footage is clear. Again………thanks for trying to help me out.
Pixel format: 8-bit
Full-resolution rendering quality: Best
Motion Blur type: Gaussian
Deinterlace method: None -
James, that helped immensely………..a very succinct, straightforward answer. Thank you. Going to save that in Notepad form, for my records,thank you Sir.

Okay thanks, if I understand your statement “they are mutual exclusive”, that means both can’t exist at the same time? In other words, 60p is actually twice as many frames as 29.97, is that correct? And if my target media is DVD, then I should shoot in 60i? And conversely, if my target media is Blu-Ray, then I should shoot in 60p? Excuse my ignorance on this subject, but it’s a lot to wrap my head around. Hopefully I’ve understood you correctly, this time?

Thank you so much, Stephen. It’s appreciated! Is my assumption correct the highest resolution, I can shoot in, for my camcorder is 1920x1080x12, 29.970 fps 60p?

I hit the solution button by accident, so could a Mod please remove it? Or I may never get an answer. I thought the button was to find a solution, not state that it was solved.

Thanks John, absolute stellar information………exactly what I needed!! Thanks so much. I will act on that information. The future looks bright, thanks again my friend!!

Check the audio properties of your voice recording, it may have been recorded at 48,000khz. That would cause that kind of problem. If it is, convert it to 44.1khz, if that is the resolution of your audio from the video track. See if that fixes things.

The one thing you fail to mention is the length of your video. I’m no expert, but if your video is about 15 minutes long, then that seems right. Right now I’m rendering out a 4 minute and 11 second Music Video, and it’s going to take just over four hours, at 1080×720 30i. So it would seem it’s about an hour per minute of video, and that’s without effects.
Rob,
