Judder in finished DVD

I've had this problem for some time using the old iMovie HD/iDVD/Toast. Now I'm using the latest iMovie and Yosemite I hoped the problem might have disappeared, but sadly, no.
My proble is in bad judder
Movie footage shot using a Camcorder, and 3 different cameras was imported into iMovie and edited.
From here I tried 2 different methods to encode and produce a finished DVD.
1st method:
The finished movie was shared to "File" resulting in a .mov of around 52GB.
This file was 'imported' into iDVD (which I still have from my pre-Mavericks days) and titles etc added.
A Disc Image was created using iMovie.
The disc image was opened and the Video TS folder was dropped onto Toast Titanium. A DVD was burned at the lowest possible rate.
2nd method:
As above, the movie was shared to "File" resulting in the same .mov file.
This file was dropped into Toast which encoded it (correctly using PAL) and, as above the DVD was burned at a low speed setting.
In both cases the final DVD when viewed on a new iMac (the one which created the movie) has severe judder on virtually all panning shots and in movies created using Photo To Movie app.
The same .mov movie viewed using QuickTime is far far smoother in the above mentioned sequences.
Can anyone please suggest where the problem may lie?
Best,
TonyT

Thanks - I redid the project - used the DVD/hard drive as the source, checked using GSpot and found that the video did need an interlace change to reverse the field dominance (& did that), but the result still wasn't good, so I tried again & found the best solution was to burn with no interlacing at all.
Checked the disc on 3 different DVD players & it worked great on all of them! Now I can get back to the old projects that had stalled.
Appreciate your help.

How do I include the photos in a imovie project to the finished dvd so the users can have access to them?

I've included alot of old photos in an iMovie project and would like to include them on the finished DVD I create with iDVD. I woud like the users to be able to have access to them so they can print them, store them on their own computer or whatever they would like to do. How would I do this?

You do this by creating a DVD-ROM section on your DVD. See this explanation from iDVD Help.
Adding files to the DVD-ROM portion of a disc
You can let viewers copy files directly from your DVD by adding the files to the DVD-ROM portion of the disc. These files are burned onto the DVD and are accessible when the disc is viewed on either a Windows PC or a Macintosh computer, but not a DVD player.
You can add any kind of file to the disc. For example, if your disc contains a slideshow, you can add the image files to the DVD-ROM portion of the disc so viewers can download them to their own computers and print them. You can also add a file containing your movie production notes and other “extras.”
To manually add files to the DVD-ROM part of your disc:
Choose Advanced > Edit DVD-ROM Contents.
The DVD-ROM Contents window opens.
Click Add Files, or click New Folder first if you want to create a folder to put the files in.
Browse to select your files or folders, then click Open to add them to the disc.
You can also drag files directly to the DVD-ROM Contents window. When you are done, just close the window.
When you add a file to the DVD-ROM portion of your disc, before you burn the disc the project contains just a reference to the location of the file on your hard disk, not the actual file. So if you delete a file from your computer or move it from its location after adding it to the DVD-ROM contents, you get a “File not found” message when you try to burn your disc. You can either remove these missing files from the DVD-ROM contents or find them on your computer and put them back in the original location so iDVD can access them.
As you add files to the DVD-ROM contents, be sure to check the DVD Capacity meter in the Project Info window to find out how many gigabytes of disc space are being used. The Capacity meter shows the disc space taken up by the video portion of the disc as well as the DVD-ROM portion.

Missing media in finished DVD but not missing in Timeline

Dear Gurus and others-who-know-far-more-than-I-do
In my latest video, exported from PPro (CC 2014) via Media Encoder and Published with Encore CS6...my finished DVD has a number of red "Missing Media" spots, but going through the PPro timeline there does not appear to be ANY "Missing Media". I've never had this problem before. Any ideas, anyone?

Distorted video in finished dvd.

Hello, this is my first dvd I created.
From premiere I exported a 3min long avi video.
Aspesct Ratio: 720x576
Pixel aspect ratio 1,422.
Copressor: Indeo Video 5.10.
Interlace: Lower Field First
In Encore DVD I imported the video as an asset, menu is set to PAL 16:9. All works fine in preview view. But when I play the finished DVD the video looks like the picture in the link below, the menu works fine. But when I try to play the transcoded video in Encore Preview after I completed the burning. I got an error message "abnormal condition". And after that I am not able to import the 3min avi file, I got the error message: Error loading transcode preset.
You can see the snapshot here:
http://forum.videohelp.com/images/guides/p1506704/snapshot20060423165953.bmp
What is happening?

Martin,
Did you try exporting as DV AVI yet? (Also see:
Video in finished DVD is really distorted
in the PPro forum.)

Color Bars Flickering in Finished DVD

I have been converting my 8mm analog videos using a Pinnacle converter. Using imovie I create movies and then create dvds using idvd. My finished dvds tend to have flickering (rolling) color bars in the movie. These bars are usually horizontal and appear in images which are usually vibriant red and blue (happens in ilife 4 & 5).
This condition does not appear in imovie, it only appears in the final burned dvd. I don't get the condition when I make movies with DV from my new Sony DV camcorder.
Any ideas?
Rich

It may not be a feature of your DVD, but of that particular DVD player or TV screen (..if you're watching it on a TV).
Some players - and TVs - play 'interlaced' video, and others can play 'progressive' video.
iMovie generally shows video in the format which computer screens show it; that's to say a whole picture at a time, refreshed, say, 75 times a second. 'Interlaced' TV shows pictures refreshed 60 times a second (in the US) or 50 times a second (Europe) ..and each of those pictures has just half the complete picture ..showing odd or even interwoven horizontal sections (lines) of the picture.
'Progressive scan' devices (players and TVs) collect both those halves, then display all the picture, either 30 times (US) or 25 times (Europe) a second. Some people say that gives a 'sharper' picture, but others find that it 'flickers' slightly, and looks more jerky.
Sometimes those 'fields' (half-pictures) get reversed, so that movement seems particularly jerky, or 'backwards-jumpy'.
The characteristic you're seeing - if I understand you correctly - may be incorrect 'interlacing' by the Pinnacle, giving emphasis to the 'wrong' field (..in the US, in NTSC video, it's upper field [half-picture] first; in Europe [PAL video] it should be lower field first.
You probably wouldn't see any result of this in iMovie, or on a computer screen ..but when seen on a TV it can give this odd 'fringing'.
Also, anything with vibrant red is difficult to process well in video (..professionals avoid solid reds, and try to 'weaken' them to prevent 'bleed' or other artifacts at the borders between red and other colours).

Still photo wavy in finished dvd

still photos looks wavy, ripple in the finished DVD using Ilife 09. The photo looks good in iDVD. I had used iDVD 08, it had never happen before. Please help!

There is a > Discussion > iMovie > iMovie HD6 going on into which I entered. I posted the following earlier today. I am the entrant with trhe Japanese doll in red, can't miss it.
Have you a set prescription that you use when beginning the Burn to Disc from iDVD. That's where my problem is.
Please read the following and send help soon . . . potis
"My rendering is from iPhoto to FotoMagico. There the album is assembled with all of FoMo's attributes. I find it very user friendly. The blurring of a photo in iPhoto with the Blur adjustment does blur alright and it my instances I get a perceptible lightening of the image. Useable, but not the original. —Cut to the finish. Beautiful rendering in FoMo, so sent to iDVD the 130 photos and music. Beautiful in iMac playback in iDVD. Cannot complain a wink. Burn disc. Play disc, and there are the jaggies on the two buildings, one a church with lots of green and white marble on the facade, the other the Ponte Vechicco shimmering as in a desert as the zoom moves out. The jaggies appear on any horizontal or vertical shape, especially buildings (as noted elsewhere in this forum).
My logic says that if the project plays very well in iDVD and wavers in a DVD burnt from iDVD, that the wavies are introduced in the burn process. I tried recording at Slideshow settings of HD 720p as suggested. No help there.
Another suggestion has been that the digital cameras are ahead of the iMac Dual Core capabilities. I don't know about that. My Pentax SLR does load them in.
For the moment I am eliminating the two dramatic zooms because they are distracting and waiting for a solution which will have to take form outside of my meager experience.
Thanks muchas for your reply.

DVD menu doesn't work on the finished DVD

Please, I need some help.
I am having problems with a DVD menu.
Several days ago I burned a DVD from the same project that I tried to export to DVD today, and I did not have any problems with DVD menu, but today, when I start to burn DVD it shows me a warning sign that tells a few DVD markers are closer than they are required, and after burning DVD the DVD menu doesn't show or work on the finished DVD.

My finished DVD is always of a poor quality, help please?

(Encore cs5.1)
My finished dvd normally is always:
Very quiet / Poor sound quality
Large black bars at the top and bottom of the screen
Menu doesn't quite fit on the screen (even though it did within encore)
Reduced video quality (pixelated)

Cs6
Have you installed the recent updates? (If not, you should. They fix a lot of problems.)
Yes
What operating system? This should include specific minor version numbers, like "Mac OSX v10.6.8"---not just "Mac".
Windows Ultimate 64-bit (Service Pack 1?)
What kind(s) of source footage? When telling about your source footage, tell us about the codecs, not just the container types. For example, "H.264 in a .mov container", not just "QuickTime".
usually .avi however i always experiment for the best result, i'm not sure what codec
If you are getting error message(s), what is the full text of the error message(s)?
No error messages
What were you doing when the problem occurred?
well there isn't one
Has this ever worked before?
never hasn't just poor quality after exproting and transcoding
What other software are you running?
well most other Cs6 programs
Do you have any third-party effects or codecs installed?
Nope
Tell us about your computer hardware. Be especially certain to tell us about third-party I/O hardware (e.g., AJA, Matrox, Blackmagic, MOTU).
intel i5 2500k
8gb Ram
1 terrabyte hdd
2 terrabyte external hdd
nvidia gtx 570
guess that's all the important stuff
Are you using Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration?
don't think so but don't know how to check
Does the problem only happen with your final output, with previews, or both?
Generally final output, howver sometimes the previews are off to
I hope that's what you where asking for

Turning Off An Audio Track From Finished DVD Menu

Hi, Folks. I asked this question a couple of years ago, perhaps it has been included in recent upgrades.
I use Premiere Elements 11, happily, to make family activity videos. I would like to have a menu option on the finished DVD to turn on or off the narration track. I see other uses, for example, the music or background noise could be optioned for viewer preference. If PE will not do this, is there a comparably priced alternative? Or, could I make the video in PE and author in another program? I imagine a high end program would include this feature, but there is no income in this for me, so I'd rather spend money doing things that provide footage to make movies of instead of software purchase.
Thanks in advance.
Duke

Nothing has change with regard to Premiere Elements (any version) and obtaining from it a DVD-VIDEO on DVD that gives the viewer the option to listen to it with or without narration that was included in the project. You would do best to do a 2 disc production for this - one with and one without narration.
The idea to have both versions on one Timeline is possible (and we can give you detail how to on that for an appropriate Adobe menu design), but it is space consuming especially if you are dealing with a large project. Are you prepared to go from DVD disc spec'd at 4.7 GB/120 minutes (in reality 4.3 GB) to DVD disc spec'd at 8.5 GB/120 minutes (in reality 7.95 GB) to accommodate this approach?
As for alternative video editors and their disc menu options, I am not aware of one that could do what you seek.
Please let us know if we can be of assistance with a step by step on setting up Adobe disc menus (as is) or customized to deal with the two versions on one Timeline idea.
Thank you.

My finished DVD has wrong audio

On IDVD3, I'm only burning one quicktime file which has it's own sound, somehow the finished DVD has sound from a different source. Can't find anywhere on the setting where this audio is coming from.

Hi Martin
How did You go to iDVD ?
- from within iMovie and Share/Export to iDVD function
- working with FCE/P and had QT.mov files that was dropped into iDVD a theme.
If from iMovie do like this instead.
a) Close iMovie
b) find the project icon/folder
c) Ctrl-click on it and Show package.
d) in this there are a folder -> Shared Movies -> iDVD
e) in this there is a QT movie nnnnnnn.mov
- You can test this with QT-player so that this is OK -
f) drop this into an open theme in iDVD and save it as a desktop image
(if iDVD prior HD/5 You have to add a hack to make this possibly
named HPfurz and install it)
Test this with Apple DVD-player - OK then burn it with iDVD
or Toast if You have and dont want to re-code the movie.
Yours Bengt W

Poor Color Quality on Finished DVD

Authoring a project using DVDSP I've noticed an infuriating problem with regards to colour.
The finished disc played back on my Mac looks great. The colours in the video are properly saturated.
But playing them on my TV set, all the colours look muted except for deep reds which glow and fringe. Everything else looks desaturated.
At first I suspected the TV, but here's a strange thing. When I play the slideshow off my DVD - containing uncompressed JPEGS of photos - all the colours are vibrant and properly saturated.
Also, any RGB photoshop graphics that appear in my finished video are properly saturated with very vibrant colours.
I tried using the QT conversion and compressor inside FCP with various settings but the colour always comes out the same.
Any ideas? Should I suspect the TV set, as I don't have a broadcast monitor here at the moment to test it with.

Many thanks for this.
I tried the procedure you mentioned. I added the 3 way colour corrector. I couldn't find any chrominance level just the one saturation slider, which I increased about 20%. I then reduced the brightness sliders beneath each colour wheel.
However, my results weren't too good. I had better colour saturation but a much deeper contrast. Also, colours that were fringing and flickering were amplified even worse. Red being the biggest villain. Deep, bright reds just seem to glow and flicker all over the place and deep yellows bleed out.
It's at the point that I'm seriously considering jacking in my MAC and going for a PC. Final Cut is fantastic, but I have to get my final movie replicated and it's not helping. This is the worst problem but I can't get any joy with VBR on MPEG 2 compression either. Compressor just adds horrendous glitches to the picture, and Quicktime isn't any better. I'm having to encode at a fixed bit rate of 7.5Mbps and with all this colour draining, it's just becoming a horrible nightmare and I'm wondering if a PC wouldn't be able to compress my completed film at a better bit rate and with better colour.
Any more suggestions would be most helpful.

DVD video judder in burnt DVD

I'm using Premiere Elements 7 with Windows XP SP3.
When I record video from digital television using a DVD recorder and burn it to disk, that plays GR8. When I import the VOB files to PE 7, they play fine on the monitor (eg if I check through them).
But when I burn the project back to DVD (with or without editing), the resultant video files have what I call "judder" when there is a lot of motion in the footage. If there is little motion, the footage looks as good as the original.
I've even tested it without doing any editing, menu, etc - same poor result once the actors move more than just a little.
I had the same problem with Premiere Elements 2.
Any suggestions as to how to correct?

Thanks - I redid the project - used the DVD/hard drive as the source, checked using GSpot and found that the video did need an interlace change to reverse the field dominance (& did that), but the result still wasn't good, so I tried again & found the best solution was to burn with no interlacing at all.
Checked the disc on 3 different DVD players & it worked great on all of them! Now I can get back to the old projects that had stalled.
Appreciate your help.

Done but cant finish, DVD studio PRO wrecking my day. PLEASE HELP!

ok I am done, did a practice burn of one of my clips on the same settings. Project burned just fine and played in the DVD player. Earlier I was having problems it was only playing on my Mac.
NOW I get this message - The recording device reported the media error: Unknown device error. (0x0C, 0x00.)
I am done with a project and need it to get out today, PLEASE HELP please please please. I have stayed up all night jumping through hoops and so close to finishing.

As in you're burning from DVD studio? you might wanna build your format as a .img to your hd then using disk utility or toast, burn that to disk.... or it could just be your optical drive :/

Finished DVD won't play in DVD player.....

Hi All,
I am new to DVD Studio Pro; I made the jump from idvd......!
I just finished my first DVD, and it won't play in my dvd player; it plays fine on my computer with the DVD player. could it be because the dvd player is about 6 years old?
TIA!!

How did you burn the DVD and what media? That can aalso cause issues, Which version of DVD SP are you using and what machine?
Take a look at this thread, discusses how some things can be off depending on what andd where you are trying to run things, goes to qutting, but also something that can cause other issues
