Finished DVD plays back differently on TV vs. my computer

Hi!
I made a 23-minute film with iMovie. Material was shot with Samsung VP-DC161 digital video camera. The quality is not impressive but it is bearable.
After editing the result looks allright. I put the DVD together with iDVD and burned a disc out of the movie. My iMac plays it back just as I'd expect.
here comes the "but"...
When I feed the DVD in my DVD player connected to my TV, I get noticeably worse results when playing back. Whenever the camera moves, it looks like I get reduced FPS, the movement in the picture from frame to frame looks like 12 FPS slide show. This gets annoying when the camera moves around, when it shoots a fixed point and people in the picture are moving I don't get the slide-show effect.
So I don't understand why I'm getting so different results in playback computer vs. DVD player. I'd be glad to get some help with this issue.
Thank you in advance!

Hi!
First of all, thanks for help so far...
Later versions fixed that. You do have v6.0.3,
right?
I actually do - I see that I posted into a wrong forum,m my mistake!
Samsung VP-DC161
Hey wait a minute! A quick Googling around indicated
that it is NOT a DV camcorder but a DVD camcorder!
iMovie is designed for DV -- it dislikes DVD
camcorders but can be tweaked to work with them with
3rd party apps.
How did you import the footage to iMovie??
Copied the 8 cm DVD files into my sons hard disk (PC), burned a 12 cm DVD out of the files and then converted them into DV-format using streamclip.
I guess your problem is in the import process. Maybe
wrong field dominance produces the symptoms you
describe. DV is always bottom field first but DVDs
can use either bottom field first or top field
first.
The DVD Player.app on your Mac may deinterlace the
playback, but when viewed on a TV the wrong field
dominance is VERY easy to see.
Ok, I need to study more of this. I'm a total newbie what comes to digital video, so back to study...
I may have to convert the material all over again, though I don't have the time to do it anymore
Thanks for help.

  • I can watch my custom DVD in iDVD 7 preview but burnt dvd plays back black with only the audio

    I can watch my custom created DVD in iDVD 7 preview but once the disc is burnt and I play it back in DVD Player, the screen is black with only the audio playing back. I have tried using three different blank DVD manufactures.

    Hi
    Most probably depends on what movie codec You feed iDVD. May be You find any clue here.
    DVD quality
    1. iDVD 08, 09 & 11 has three levels of qualities. (version 7.0.1, 7,0.4 & 7.1.1) and iDVD 6 has the two last ones
    • Professional Quality
    (movies + menus up to 120 min.) - BEST (but not always for short movies e.g. up to 45 minutes in total)
    • Best Performances
    (movies + menus  less than 60 min.) - High quality on final DVD (Can be best for short movies)
    • High Quality (in iDVD08 or 09) / Best Quality (in iDVD6)
    (movies + menus up to 120 min.) - slightly lower quality than above
    About double on DL DVDs.
    2. Video from
    • FCE/P - Export out as full quality QuickTime.mov (not self-containing, no conversion)
    • iMovie x-6 - Don't use ”Share/Export to iDVD” = destructive even to movie project and especially so
    when the movie includes photos and the Ken Burns effect NOT is used. Instead just drop or import the iMovie movie project icon (with a Star on it) into iDVD theme window.
    • iMovie’08 or 09 or 11 are not meant to go to iDVD. Go via Media Browser or rather use iMovie HD 6 from start.
    3. I use Roxio Toast™ to make an as slow burn as possibly e.g. x4 or x1 (in iDVD’08 or 09  this can also be set)
    This can also be done with Apple’s Disk Utilities application when burning from a DiskImage.
    4. There has to be about or more than 25Gb free space on internal (start-up) hard disk. iDVD can't
    use an external one as scratch disk (if it is not start-up disc). For SD-Video - if HD-material is used I guess that 4 to 5 times more would do.
    5. I use Verbatim ( also recommended by many - Taiyo Yuden DVDs - I can’t get hold of it to test )
    6. I use DVD-R (no +R or +/-RW) - DVD-R play’s on more and older DVD-Players
    7. Keep NTSC to NTSC - or - PAL to PAL when going from iMovie to iDVD
    (I use JES_Deinterlacer to keep frame per sec. same from editing to the Video-DVD result.)
    8. Don’t burn more than three DVDs at a time - but let the laser cool off for a while before next batch.
    iDVD quality also depends on.
    • DVD is a standard in it self. It is Standard Definition Quality = Same as on old CRT-TV sets and can not
    deliver anything better that this.
    HD-DVD was a short-lived standard and it was only a few Toshiba DVD-players that could playback.
    These DVDs could be made in DVD-Studio Pro. But they don’t playback on any other standard DVD-Player.
    Blu-Ray / BD can be coded onto DVDs but limited in time to - about 20-30 minutes and then need
    _ Roxio Toast™ 10 Pro incl. BD-component
    _ BD disks and burner if full length movies are to be stored
    _ BD-Player or PlayStation3 - to be able to playback
    The BD-encoded DVDs can be play-backed IF Mac also have Roxio DVD-player tool. Not on any standard Mac or DVD-player
    Full BD-disks needs a BD-player (in Mac) as they need blue-laser to be read. No red-laser can do this.
    • HOW much free space is there on Your internal (start-up) hard disk. Go for approx. 25Gb.
    less than 5Gb and Your result will most probably not play.
    • How it was recorded - Tripod vs Handheld Camera. A stable picture will give a much higher quality
    • Audio is most often more critical than picture. Bad audio and with dropouts usually results in a non-viewed movie.
    • Use of Video-editor. iMovie’08 or 09 or 11 are not the tools for DVD-production. They discard every second line resulting in a close to VHS-tape quality.
    iMovie 1 to HD6 and FinalCut any version delivers same quality as Camera record in = 100% to iDVD
    • What kind of movie project You drop into it. MPEG4 seems to be a bad choice.
    other strange formats are .avi, .wmv, .flash etc. Convert to streamingDV first
    Also audio formats matters. I use only .aiff or from miniDV tape Camera 16-bit
    strange formats often problematic are .avi, .wmv, audio from iTunes, .mp3 etc
    Convert to .aiff first and use this in movie project
    • What kind of standard - NTSC movie and NTSC DVD or PAL to PAL - no mix.
    (If You need to change to do a NTSC DVD from PAL material let JES_Deinterlacer_3.2.2 do the conversion)
    (Dropping a PAL movie into a NTSC iDVD project
    (US) NTSC DVDs most often are playable in EU
    (EU) PAL DVDs most often needs to be converted to play in US
    UNLESS. They are play-backed by a Mac - then You need not to care
    • What kind of DVDs You are using. I use Verbatim DVD-R (this brand AND no +R or +/-RW)
    • How You encode and burn it. Two settings prior iDVD’08 or 09
    Pro Quality (only in iDVD 08 & 09)
    Best / High Quality (not always - most often not)
    Best / High Performances (most often my choice before Pro Quality)
    1. go to iDVD pref. menu and select tab far right and set burn speed to x1 (less errors = plays better) - only in iDVD 08 & 09
    (x4 by some and may be even better)
    2. Project info. Select Professional Encoding - only in iDVD 08 & 09.
    Region codes.
    iDVD - only burn Region = 0 - meaning - DVDs are playable everywhere
    DVD Studio pro can set Region codes.
    1 = US
    2 = EU

    What it turned out to be was the "quality" settings in iDVD. The total clip time was NOT over 2 hours or 4.7GB, yet iDVD created massive visual artifacts on the "professional quality" setting.
    I switched the settings to "high quality" which solved the problem. According iDVD help, "high quality" determines the best bit rate for the clips you have.
    I have NEVER seen iDVD do this before, especially when I was under the 2 hour and 4.7GB limits.
    For anyone else, there seem to be 2 places in iDVD to set quality settings, the first is under "preferences" and the second under "project info." They do NOT seem to be linked (i.e. if you change one, the other is NOT changed). take care, Mario
    TO GET IT TO WORK SLIGHTLY FASTER
    • Minimum of 25Gb free space on Start-Up hard disk
    • No other programs running in BackGround e.g. Energy-Saver
    • Don’t let HD spin down or be turned off (in Energy-Save)
    • Move hard disks that are not to be used to Trash - To be disconnected/turned off
    • Goto Spotlight and set the rest of them under Integrity (not to be scanned)
    • Set screen-saver to a folder without any photo - then make an active corner (up right for me) and set
    pointer to this - turns on screen saver - to show that it has nothing to show

  • Dvd play back on Tv is 4:3 , also poor  playback quality

    I recently purchased a jvc everio HDD, Along with that I purchased elements 7.  I am having many issues with the software. I am new to editing but have researched all the posts and done alot of home work. I have read the all the post about mod files. But I am more confused
    Issue one... When I burn a dvd and play it back on any dvd player the video is compressed back to a 4:3 aspect. I have noticed that the video is squeezed and everything appears to be skinny when viewing.
    To clarify , My camera films in 16:9 ratio. When I set up My new project I choose . Hard disk/widescreen (this setting say it is for video files produced by jvc everio). When Ii am done I choose burn/dolby widescreen.
    when I import my video clips to my pc, it saves them as mov.files. which I understand is a quicktime format... is this causeing the issue.
    I was convinced it was a camera issue. So I burnt some clips using my pc burner program and played them on my tv and they were in 16:9 and played just fine and the video looked amazing..
    ~~~~~~~~~~
    Issue two.... When I bring my video's in I loose alot of quality.  Also my clips hae glitches in them , some are green clitches and others are neg art of other clips . I played back on my media player ,these glitches are not there.
    ~~~~~~~~~
    Issue three..... When I import my clips , the PRE viewer is very pixelly ( like really bad webcam bad) it is so bad that I actually took the sony camcorder back, thinking that the issue was my camera. I then exchanged for the jvc..... I have watched many utube tutorials on youtube... and have been able to see that the players are not as pixelly as mine....
    Help....... I am so frustrated with purchaseing software and having problems.

    With MOD files are imported into Premiere Elements they are not properly interpreted as 16:9... they will appear as 4:3 on the timeline and if burnt to DVD will play back as 4:3. You need to right click on the clips in the project Media Panel and select Interpret footage and then Conform To and select the 16:9 widescreen preset.
    Not sure why it is saying the videos are .mov files, did you do ant conversion before importing. Regarding the glitchy distorted frames, try renaming the file  in the Program Files folder for Premier Elements "ImporterFastMPEG.prm" to something else. PE7 will not use it then and this should eliminate you bad frame problems.
    The Premiere Elements viewer does not show the final quality of the video but should not be that bad. Did you render the timeline by pressing the Enter button on your keyboard... this needs to be done for non DV-AVI format video or when you place effects/transitions/title on the clips. The clips will playback without rendering but playback will be much smoother and cleaning after rendering.
    Most of these issues can be overcome be converting your video to DV-AVI before importing to Premiere Elements. The "box" says PE7 plays with many file types but it struggles with many and MOD files is one format that it does struggle with. DV-AVI is handled natively and gives no problems. Can you import the clips into the software that came with the camcorder and export to DV-AVI? Otherwise you could use MPEG_Streamclip to convert them. http://forums.adobe.com/thread/415317?tstart=0
    Also a lot of these issues are discussed in this thread. Dont know if you saw this one. http://forums.adobe.com/message/1757486#1757486

  • Finished DVD plays (shows) complete green screen instead of movie for part of the movie

    In Premiere CS4 the movie I made plays fine. In Encore timeline the movie plays fine. Yet when the DVD is burned and then played, part of the movie just shows up as completely green on the screen and then it will stop and the rest of the movie will play fine for a while and then the screen will go all green again.

  • No stereo when DVD plays back on DVD player

    I create a fair amount of photo/slideshows and then burn it all with music onto a DVD.
    In the past, the playback was always in stereo, but now the playback is in dismal mono sound!...
    I could be my new HD digital television set and I'll just have to explore that also. But when I did get ready to "burn" my dvd, I was given a "prompt" that gave me the choice of "how" I wanted to do this.
    I recall it asked me if "a data burn" was okay. I do recall that I also saw an "MP3" option also.
    Could this be the problem. I'm not sure if this audio prompt came from "idvd", itunes, or "imovie"..
    Any suggestions?.
    thanks...

    Another possibility is, the TV that you have has all the color taken out. To find out I would see if the TV plays anything else in color. If it plays cable TV input and the input from the DVD Player in black and white then the problem is probably a setting in the TV. But if the black and white problem is only occurring with the input from the DVD Player the problem is either 1)Mac-onga is right and the plugs are put in the wrong inputs on the back/front of the TV OR 2)there is a black and white setting on the DVD player.
    Hope this helps,

  • Dvd play back speed issue

    Hello
    I have a project where the M2V files are on one timeline with subtitles. There are title files next to the video files all compressed using the same compressor settings. When I play the dvd on a dvd player (I have tried several) the title plays fine but the first couple of seconds of the video is sped up and then returns to being perfectly in sync. On a PC/Mac dvd player this does not happen nor on the simulator in studio pro. Does anyone have any ideas why this happens and any suggestions of how to repair it.
    Kind regards
    Dan

    Not sure what cuased this problem which is a worry but the solution was to export the mpeg from dvd studio pro and reimport it back in. This creates a single video file of all the parts of video files on DVD studio pro timeline.

  • DVD Play back

    I just bought a 20" imac last week and was wondering how to set the screen to get the best clarity from dvd's? In full screen mode they are kind of fuzzy.
    Thanks
    Brian

    Brian, 
    you are viewing a PAL (768x576) or NTSC (720 x 540) video on a 1680 x 1050 screen. This means that they are not going to look as sharp as your normal image in OS X. If you sit as far back as you would with your normal TV then you'll be more satisfied.

  • Finished DVD plays very Pixelated???

    I have a project that I exported through encore to DVD without menus but plays really pixelated on all TV's like a lot of little boxes around everything? I exported in medium quality was that not enough or is there a bigger issue here? Its not HD nor is it widescreen just standard.

    Simon,
    As a test I would suggest to sacrifice a DVD-R made by either Verbatim or Taiyo Yuden, burned with 4x speed. Also make sure that your burner's firmware is up to date.
    Maybe you are just looking at a problem of the DVD player reading the disc. That can cause the image breaking up into mosaic-like blocks.

  • Jerky video on DVD play back

    All my movies turn out jerky when burned to a DVD -- especially noticeable in pan and tilt movements. I thought it had to do with de-interlacing footage from my Sony PD150, after exporting the final cut from iMovie. But that's not it, because de-interlaced export from FCP 6 has the same problem, once iDVD gets hold of it.
    Any suggestions?

  • Disc I Made With iDVD Will Not Play Back in DVD Player

    I used iDVD to burn DVDs I made with iMovie. The DVDs play back without problem on my home DVD player, but when I try to play them on my Mac G5, the computer keeps ejecting the discs. How can this be? Sureley the discs are compatible with my system or they would not be burnable. Please help!

    Hi r
    No this is an often described problem.
    To make a DVD playable to as many devices as possibly there are some alt ways
    to go,.
    1. From iMovie to iDVD: I don't use the Share/Export to iDVD from within iMovie.
    I drop my movie project icon (with a Star on it) into the open window in iDVD.
    2. After done necessary adjustments I go to File/Save as a Disk Image.
    3. This disk image I burn with Roxio Toast™ but You can also use Apple Disk Util tool.
    4. AT AN AS SLOW speed as possibly eg x1, x2 or x4 => Less errors in burn process.
    5. I use Verbatim DVD-R. There are other High Quality brands - this I use.
    DVD+R or +/- RW I don't use !!
    This DVD should play on nearly all devices.

  • 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.

  • I have copied my iTunes library onto a new computer, but when I play back the songs there seems to be random "miss" or "drop out".  No probs with old computer, just the new one.  I'm onto my third new computer - same problem.  Any suggestions please?

    I have copied my iTunes library onto a new computer, but when I play back the songs using the new computer, there seems to be random "miss" or "drop out" during play back, similar to a small scratch on a vinyl record.  Although when I play the same song over again, the "miss" occurs in a different location during the song.  No probs with old computer, just the new one.  I'm onto my third new computer - same problem.  Any suggestions please?

    You don't say which version of iTunes you are using, but the symptoms you describe have been encountered by some users with the 64-bit version of iTunes 12.1.
    There is an alternative version for 64-bit editions of Windows here:
    iTunes 12.1 for Windows (64-bit — for older video cards)
    that seems to address the most of the playback issues that some users have been reporting with the full 64-bit version of 12.1.0.77 - including problems with Bluetooth speakers where either sound is degraded or completely absent.  The alternative installer here is the same architecture as most previous "64-bit" versions of iTunes, i.e., a 32-bit application with a 64-bit installer.  The "for older video cards" label appears to be something of a misnomer as some people have reported that this corrects problems found on current / high-spec systems.
    Some users have reported that after installing this alternative version it is necessary to adjust the "Play audio using" selection (normally to "Direct Sound" rather than "Windows Audio Session", though this may vary based on your audio hardware/drivers) in Edit > Preferences > Playback to restore glitch-free audio (one part of the reported symptoms is that the "Direct Sound" choice isn't available, usually in Windows 8).  It may also be necessary to ensure that your Bluetooth speakers are active and selected as the default audio device before you run iTunes.
    If this doesn't address the issue, you may want to think about reverting to iTunes 12.0 - see Turingtest2's notes on Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for steps needed to completely remove all installed iTunes components, and for links to the 12.0 installers.

  • Actions won't play back transformations properly

    The transformations 'skew', 'distort', and 'perspective' wont' play back properly in PS CC2014. You can record an action, but it will play back differently. Not just a few pixels different, but a lot. I also tested a number of existing actions that I used in PS CS3, but they play back wrong too, even though they worked fine previously.
    How is this possible? Is it a bug? Anyone knows something about this issue?

    When you record action that deal with sizes.  You need the think about what your recording.  The thing is there is a lot going on.  You need to record the action to work the way you want them to. You need to take into consideration that you may not many things about the document the action is being used on.  Unless you know somthing like the action will only be use on un-cropped landscape images from a particular.  In that case you know every document is x pixel wide and y pixel high.
    More often you have no idea of what size a document is you do not know the  number of pixel wide, high or the resolution the document is.    Size can be tricky to deal with.  You can record things in absolute pixel sizes, relative to resolution and relative to document size.  How Photoshop units is set determines how many steps are recorded.  Steps like transform are prime examples. Is your transform recorded Absolute pixel sized a location, Relative to resolution or relative to Document size.

  • Video Plays back vertically instead of horizontally

    I shot a video with my bloggie touch of a stage show, holding the camera horizontally. My problem is it plays back on the Bloggie and my computer vertically.
    Is there a way to rotate this video? Otherwise I can't watch this, and the video is useless.
    Any thoughts?

    page 17 shows the views of how the picture was taken
    http://www.docs.sony.com/release/MHSTSs ... ndbook.pdf
    Yes you can shoot video in any orientation, However, for a widescreen movie It is recommended to shoot your video in landscape mode. If you shoot holding the camera vertically, The video will record and play back vertically showing the black aspect ratio bars you see on the above page 17. For widescreen, 1920-by-1080 video, you'll need to shoot in landscape mode, with the screen sideways and the Record button to the left or right.
    In order to rotate your existing video you will need to use a video editing software to edit and save. Windows and Macintosh operating systems alike both have basic video editing programs that came standard, or is readily available for download with the software.

  • Camera says cannot play back image

    Camera says cannot play back image after downloading picutures to computer and placing disk back in camera.  It is a Cannon EOS 50D.  I cannot find the instruction manual.  What do I need to do to fix this problem so that I can view pictures on camera.

    I think what's happened is that you downloaded to the computer (are they on your computer?) AND whatever program you used either transferred them from the card to the computer or copied them & then erased the card. Many programs have that option built in & it needs to be disabled if you still want your images left on the card. It's not the camera that does this it's the software on your computer.
    You can copy them back onto the memory card using a card reader. The way I do that is to format the card & then take 1 shot which creates the proper file folder under the DCIM folder. Next remove the card from the camera & use the card reader & My Computer to find the folder with the photo you just took Copy the images from your computer to the folder on the card which has that single photo you just took. Put the card back into the camera & you should be able to view them again.
