DVD image is degraded at edges, particularly moving shots

Hi all - I edited on Avid Xpress Pro 5.6 and exported a Quicktime reference file to Adobe Encore 2.0. I then transcoded using the 'PAL Progressive High Quality 7MB 2 Pass' setting.
The resulting DVD is very high quality but the edges of objects in the frame appear degraded when moving (worse with really quick movement), not pixellated so much as shredded.
Does anyone have any idea why this might be and what could be done to correct? I tried burning a second DVD using the automatic transcode settings which made the image shudder all the way through.
Many thanks for your help.
Best

hi! I upgraded from 1.5 to cs3 encore in the past few months. Used to use automatic transcoding in 1.5 all the time. Upgraded to CS3 and automatic transcoding always produces the same effect you are describing. I call it jittery video. You especially see it with panning the camera, people walking by the camera. My suspicion is reinforced by what you say you used, progressive.
I would try using the same setting and then editing it, only changing the progressive setting to interlaced and using lower field.
I'm eager to hear if that solves the problem. I don't think I can change the automatic setting to use interlaced instead, which is disappointing because automatic calculates the bit rate for me. I also wonder though if using a progressive camera and then using a progressive mode also solves the problem.

  • Photos in quicktime -- image quality degrades significantly

    Hi ... I am attempting to create a slideshow. Images are currently in iPhoto.
    I read that the best presentation quality for the images would be achieved creating a slideshow in iPhoto and exporting the show. Then open the show in Quicktime.
    When I play the resulting show in Quicktime Pro, the images have degraded significantly.
    Am I missing a step in here someplace?
    The final show will be played on a large screen.
    Thank you in advance.

    I tried saving as a png, but I got the same result. It's like
    my black becomes a dark grey and my midtones go light/
    white.

  • Why does my image not reach the edges of the page when printed, but appears fine as pdf?

    Why does my image not reach the edges of the page when printed, but appears fine as pdf?

    Check a printable area of your printer.
    Make a (grey) rectangle that is larger than the paper size. Print it,
    you'll get a message that some cropping will occur, that's okay. Then take a
    ruler and measure the dimensions of the rectangle printed on the paper or
    the white borders around the printed rectangle.

  • DVD image question

    Hey this might be a question that should be posted within some other category but I wasnt sure if a pertucar ilife application has the capability.
    I have a mini dvd that has 2 sides and i would like to combine it into one single layer dvd. The total for the mini dvd is under 4 gigs.
    I wanted to know what program would allow me to do something like this. I tried toast 9 thinking they have the multiple dvd image functionality but that seems to be if 1 was windows and another was a mac image then it can combine it into 1 that both can read or something like that.
    That isnt what i am looking for. I have a 2 sided mini dvd that i would like to combine into 1 single regular dvd. Could I use iDVD or would I have to use something else.
    Also toast seems to make dvd images with a .toast extension that any other program doesnt recognize (other then taost).
    Help would be greatly appreciated.

    Here's how to do it with Toast. What you'll get is one DVD with two titles, but you can tell Toast to continuously play the titles so there won't be any break between them.
    1. Insert the mini DVD disc and choose DVD with the top button of the Toast Media Browser.
    2. When something appears in the browser window drag it to the Toast's Video window with DVD video selected as the format. You'll see a progress bar as Toast extracts the MPEG video files from the mini DVD.
    3. When that is done turn the mini disc over and repeat steps 1 and 2.
    4. Now that you have the content of the mini disc in the Toast window, edit the descriptions, scroll the thumbnail to a desired image and choose the menu style you want.
    5. Choose Save as Disc Image if you want to preview how it looks in DVD Player before burning to DVD. You mount the disc image by control-clicking on it and choosing Mount It.
    I have changed the .toast extension on video DVD disc images to .iso and they work fine with my LaCie Silverscreen that can automatically mount and play .iso images.

  • Very large DVD image/folder ( dvd9 in size)

    I'm having problems making an bluray folder or image that is readable by anything!, (using encore).
    So In encore i changed the project format to DVD and set the disc size to custom = 20G !
    My mediaplayer (popcorn hour) did play it OK, incl first-play, menus and subtitles, but i wonder if anyone else have experience with generating DVD image or folder which are large than dvd9 ?
    (obviously you can not burn it, but who does that nowadays anyway)
    /per

    ..to answer my own question: the 20G 'DVD' played very well...
    now I wonder if the player wil accept H264 encoding instead of MPEG2
    ..if so, i guess the only difference to bluray would be the lack of popup menus ?

  • HELP...DVD image file compression settings for youtube.

    What are the best settings? I have a account with YT which allows for more than the 15minute standard. I will be uploading 2hrs worth at times
    Can I batch compress several mounted images?

    Compressor has a preset for youTube videos... Pick the one that closely matches your video:
    Compressor YouTube settings has Frame Reorder set to on by default. YouTube doesn't like Frame Reorder, set it to off. Here are YouTube guidelines for Video set to them:

  • Lion dvd image

    Ok now you tell me how can i reinstall my Mac Mini 2011 with a line with this performance:
    Down: 640kbit
    Up: 256
    It take about 8h to download.
    I'd like to download a dvd image of Lion 10.7 from here but a popup appear and say me that i can't install it.
    So, where can i find a correct dvd image?
    Thank you and sorry for my english.

    There is no DVD image. You download the installer from the App Store. DO NOT install. Go to the Applications folder and make a copy of the installer (select, CTRL- or RIGHT-click, select Duplicate.) Move the copy to a safe location. You may now install Lion or quit the installer. If you install Lion then the installer will be deleted automatically at the end of the installation.
    You can make a bootable USB flash drive or DVD from the installer by following the instructions here: Burning A Lion Boot Disc.

  • Mounting dvd image

    hi,
    I have this dvd image I'd like to loop mount. Unfortunately all I get is this error:
    [root] $ mount -t iso9660 -o loop DISC1.ISO files/
    mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0,
    or too many mounted file systems
    (could this be the IDE device where you in fact use
    ide-scsi so that sr0 or sda or so is needed?)
    [root] $
    To me it seems the command is correct. how to fix this?

  • Remote Install of OEL from DVD image?

    I have a linux server that has CentOS 5.3 64 bit installed. I do not have physical access to it. I can't mount a DVD.
    But I do have access to ssh, yum and can install anything on it.
    Can I download the Oracle Enterprise Linux 64 bit DVD image from OUL Network and install from the image without creating a DVD and putting it in the drive?
    Is there a simple solution?
    Thanks

    Please visit the http://linux.oracle.com site and follow the link to download a new "up2date" RPM package in the "Switching From Red Hat Network" link.
    Install it on your server and:

  • Pav. dv3888nr horizontal line on DVD image and other glitchy things

    Whenever I play DVDs I have problems. Lately, its been a horizontal line or split across the DVD image.  I also get all kinds of burps and hiccups, and picture separation from sound that is usually solved by tapping in the mousepad.  (Weird!) This gizmo is still under warranty but I'm out of the country for a few more weeks.

    Yes, Apple is working on it. The information I gathered from AppleCare is that there is a "capture" procedure in US for those who don't like the lines on their machine.
    At this time, as there is not such a procedure in Europ, my decision is to return mine. The only way to return your PB is to call the AppleStore from which you bought it and ask them for a refund (if you are within the 7 or 14 days depending on the Country you bought it from) or an exchange .
    Applecare will only accept a repair, by the local Apple Certified center, but AppleCare is country specific which means that an applecare bought in Europ will not work elsewhere. Personnally, I declined the repair, because we all know that the defect has not been identified yet by Apple US, so that you can imagine what the local repair center could do !!!
    PS : I just identified the EXACT same line issue at my working place on a Sony LCD screen connected to a G5 DP 2Ghz. Strangely enough, the LCD has also colour set up problems. Moreover the same configuration at home (same SONY screen, G5 DP 1,8 Ghz) has no lining problem. This is the definitive proof to me that every lined screen are defective, even if hundred of them have been recently released.

  • Removing a DVD Image from a drive?

    Hello everyone!
    Recently I wanted to wipe my MacBook Pro, and do a clean install of Snow Leopard. However doing so proved difficult, because my DVD drive recently gave out and stopped ejecting disks (Had to open her up and take out the drive completely). Anyways, in order to do a clean install, I had to create an image of my Install DVD On an external hard drive, and wipe the computer in target disk mode from another mac.
    The clean install worked perfectly, although now my external Hard Drive is stuck with the DVD Image of the snow leopard install disk on it. I would just wipe the drive, however it has about 450 GB worth of data on it (When I put the Install DVD image on the drive I chose not to erase the current data) and I would just get another hard drive to back up my data and reformat the drive, but currently I do not have another drive to transfer the files to.
    I would just delete the Snow Leopard install disk files, but everytime I plug in the hard drive, it pops up like an install disk and its quite annoying. In the mean time the hard drive still works perfectly, its just annoying always having to close the "Install OS X Snow Leopard" window each time I plug in the drive. (Note: If I remove the install disk files from the drive, the Hard drive still pops up like an install disk when its plugged in)
    So my question is this, (I know I'm finally getting to my point haha) is there any way I can remove the "Install Disk" image from my hard drive without having to wipe the entire drive? Or am I just going to have to get another hard drive to back up all my data and reformat it? Thanks for your help guys, looking forward to your replies.

    Thanks for your reply Neville.
    I am currently able to read and write the files on the drive, and I am able to delete the Mac OS X install files. However even after I do so, whenever I plug in my external hard drive, it always pops up like a mounted .DMG file, instead of popping up like a hard drive.
    Also by default I use the "List" view in the finder. But whenever I access the drive, it shows the files in "Icon" view since I added the Mac OS X install disk image to the drive =(.
