thanks for the response.
i’ve rendered at the highest quality.
i can’t use an edge filter as the seam must be hard (i tried it though and still came up with the same problem).
i have not changed the vertical position.
if i toggle through the timeline and watch it on the computer monitor, i do not get the edge problem. it is only when i playback or watch it off dvd, etc.
the source footage is 720×486 photo-jpeg, i’ve tried setting my sequence setting to both 720 x486 photo-jpeg compression and dv – ntsc compression.
keep up the thoughts. thanks!!!
