Jerky video after burning DVD in iDVD 08

I have exported video from FCE4 into a standard self contained QT movie. If I preview this movie then everything looks fine. I can also import the movie into iDVD and preview and still it looks fine.
Once the disk has been burned however, any motion appears jerky/blurred (moving arms, walking across camera, etc). I have the DVD set to burn at 2x speed using Sony DVD-R media.
Does anyone know what is causing this and how I can fix it?

I just now tried the same approach (via capture now) but I'm guessing FCP HD Version 4.5 doesn't have that very same feature built into it ....

Unless the terminology is different and "Shift Fields" is the same as De-interlace ..... not sure. However, I'm inclined to think they may be different tools.
To quote StudioX:
De-interlacing removes 1 field - thereby initially reducing the vertical resolution in half. (If you started with a DV 720x480 image, you now have a 720x240 image). As the program adds the pixels back to keep the overall frame size at the original (eg 720x480), the program will interpolate the missing pixels with the result of an over all softening of the image.
Why de-interlace? When there is significant motion artifacts (combing) of an image or the flicker of a freeze frame is just too much or you are going out to a progressive display system (aka the web).

  • I was having problems burning DVDs' fro iDVD and it turned out my burner is at fault I have a 27 inch iMac using a OPTIARC DVD RW AD-5680H. Where can I buy a replacement in UK?

    I was having problems burning DVDs' from iDVD and it turned out my burner is at fault.
    I have a 27 inch iMac using a OPTIARC DVD RW AD-5680H. Where can I buy a replacement in UK? I have seen these with SATA is this the correct cable for my mac?
    I have also tried the Mac superdrive but my imac wont recognise it as it's been configured for macbook air and mini mac. I know I can "make" it work by doing something or other in com.apple/plist, but dont want to mess about in there.
    I'm also told an external drive would work but does "mac compatible" mean only for air and mini as their own superdrive is or all macs?
    Any help appreciated before I convince myself mac is no better than windows pc!

    Thanks but this didn't really help.
    I can buy the drives at a dozen places but none of them seem to know what connection is correct (SATA etc) and that includes the apple store. It was the store who told me buy the superdrive and all my problems would be over. Wrong! It isn't recognised by imac as it's confifured for air and mini mac. Only way to make it work is as i said in earlier post. (Would you be happy buying a car you were told would start and then discover you have to open the bottome and fiddle to make it go?)
    The apple store I would not even consider taking it to. Days without the pc, over priced and don't have a good reputation for actually fixing things!
    But thanks

  • IMovie '08 option to make the best quality video on a DVD using iDVD '08

    Which iMovie '08 option will make the best quality video on a DVD using iDVD '08?
    1. Share-Media Browser-Large-Publish
    2. Share-Export Using Quicktime
    3. Or can you use an unpublished iMove in iDVD?
    (Of course I'll have to first get iDVD to open without crashing...)

    As always, this depends on a number of factors which you failed to cover in your original question.
    1) If you source files are SD, other than an increased loss of time in converting you gain nothing in scaling the files up in iMovie '08 only to scale them back down in iDVD. On the other hand, if your source files are HD, then you will likely see a marginal increase in quality which may or may not be worth the price of increased processing time. In this latter case, you are allowing the MPEG-2 compressor to get the most it can out of your file at the P- and B-frame level.
    2) Export using QT allows you to customize your output with regard to both compression format and settings. For instance, you can use a codec with extremely high data rate (e.g., VGA dimensions with DV at 28.5-57.0 Mpbs, AIC at 18.0-22.0 Mbps, or even unlimited H.264/AAC at 16.0-20.0 Mbps). High video data rates generally translate to less lost quality during the re-compression process. Thus, if the intermediate file produced by iMovie '08 and passed on to iDVD retains more of its original quality, the MPEG-2 compressor can get more quality out of the final conversion as stated above.
    3) Since no physical file actually exists until the project (simply a set of instructions detailing how the final file will be created) is published, there is nothing to be physically sent to iDVD. basically you must create a physical file from the project in order to do anything at all whether sending it to a gallery, iTunes, YouTube, iDVD, etc.

  • Is it possible at all to burn dvd in iDvd '08 ??

    My poor macbook was working like 2 days trying to burn dvd from iDvd '08 a project made in iMovie '08 that I've modified in iMovie HD. Project for 48 minutes, dvd dual layer 8.5 Gb, I have 9 GB free space, 120 Gb at all and 1.5 Gb of memory. It's burning about 3 hours than say: "Multiplexing and burning. Done.Time remaining: 0 minutes." And freeze !! I left for a few hours this process . And nothing. Like this 4 times already.
    I didn't use any application during burning, neither keyboard.
    Is there solution? Thanks.

    As Len stated, using DL is pointless in your own situation. Stay with SL as well as using either Verbatim or Maxell DVD-R while troubleshooting on this forum for best results. Hope this helps and good luck.

  • Do not want dual audio after burning dvd

    I have .avi movie with two different languages and after burning are both in movie while playing. I would like to set only one language before burning it with iDVD. Thanks

    Hi
    I think You support to little info.
    • .avi is no Codec but just a container - so what's in it ?
    • iDVD has just a few video codec that it accepts
    • there are no multilingual funcion in iDVD - so each language has to be it's own free movie (will take up no: x places eg three movies = three times more space needed)
    So may be I'm not really understanding Your problem - so Please Re-Phrase and add more info and step by step description on how You try to do this.
    Yours Bengt W

  • HDV - FCE - Quicktime plays right - squished video on burned DVD

    i looked thru the forum a bit and didn't quite find what i was looking for, though it seems there are a number of similar problems.
    i've imported HDV video from a canon hv30 into final cut express. no problem. edited the video. no problem. export as quicktime movie. no problem. quicktime plays movie. no problem. create idvd project. no problem. preview dvd in idvd (set idvd to 4:3 because i want it to play on normal tv's). no problem. burn the dvd. PROBLEM.
    the theme screen is fine, but the video is squished. no letterbox. i've tried doing this a few times, and the results are the same each time.
    i certainly don't know all the crazy quirks of video, but this certainly seems buggy in light of all the similar posts.
    any work arounds with HDV and FCE?
    thanks!

    hey there josdaviar,
    afaik, there is no way to do this except to create a new sequence that's anamorphic, then place your existing sequence in it, but as i explained a 16:9 video onto a 16:9 DVD will display as letterbox on a 4:3 TV & as 16:9 on a widescreen TV. so i'm not understanding your issue, if making the video(16:9) & DVD(16:9) match & the DVD will play on both types of TVs--as fullscreen 16:9 on a widescreen TV & as letterbox on a 4:3 TV? are you exporting @ "current settings" to maintain the 16:9 aspect ratio? if so, make a 16:9 DVD & check it yourself on both types of TVs. i have a 4:3 TV +DVD player & check all my 16:9 DVDs on it(i have clients who pay me), so far every one has played as letterbox on the 4:3 TV + DVD player rig & as fullscreen 16:9 on my widescreen HDTV + DVD player rig.
    the "flag" for playback of the DVD(as fullscreen or letterbox) is in the DVD player's initial set-up/top menu--it may need to be set(depending on the age of the DVD player).
    good luck.

  • Burn DVD in iDVD.  Need help please.

    I've tried transfering or publishing my video from imove to idvd in order to burn onto disc.  However, the disc burn "circle" won't allow me.  I looked at older posts and unfortunately I'm not finding them helpful.  Can someone assist me please?
    Thank you!

    Hi
    You need to tell much more to set us on track.
    Movie from where and in what Video Codec
    Imported into iDVD - How ?
    Most common situation:
    • If You made Your movie in iMovie'11
    • Select it
    • Share to Media Browser - AND AS LARGE or MEDIUM (HD and other resolutions will decrease the final DVD quality)
    • in iDVD (You are sure You got it - as it's not delivered on NEW Macs any more)
    • Import movie from Media Button (doen to the Right) and here from Movies
    DO Not forget to set down BURN SPEED to x2 or x4 - to get best possibly DVD (in iDVD pref/Advance bottom - BEST is NOT BEST !)
    • I use Verbatim
    • I use DVD-R (as they play on older DVD-players too)
    Yours Bengt W

  • Out of focus photos after burning dvd.

    I am using Magic iDVD in iDVD 08. Have created a movie with photos imported from iPhoto. All appears to be well when I preview the movie prior to burning it (i.e. photos are clear and sharp, and burning process appears to go as it should). But when I view the burned DVD all the photos are quite out of focus. This occurs whether I watch the DVD on my iMac or TV. Am using Philips DVD-R discs. Have tried different encoding settings with no difference in results.

    It looks to me like the flash fired for the shot, but the camera also kept the shutter open for a fairly long time to reach optimum exposure.  Can you check and see how long the exposure was?  It appears that the bright, flashed parts of the photo are sharp, so I don't think it's an optical problem.  The flash froze some of the image, but handheld camera shake created the blurring.  Try a similar shot on a solid tripod.  Or reset the exposure so that it's short enough to handhold and try again.  I'll often do dusk or nighttime shots on aperture priority setting with a flash to light up someone in the foreground.  The shutter stays open long enough to light up the dark, unflashed areas in the background, leading to a long exposure, so I have to use a tripod and have a model that can stay very still.  Otherwise the photos end up looking like your shot.  As far as saving the photo that you posted--it would take a huge amount of effort by someone that's very good with Photoshop.

  • Found grease on disks after burning DVDs or CDs

    I own a brand new iMAC G5. After burning couple DVDs using the super drive, I found some grease spots on some of the disks. The grease spots had caused the DVDs unusable/unreadable anymore.
    I called AppleCare, they said they will replace my drive.
    Grease in a drive! This is weird. Has anyone experienced it before?
    iMac G5   Mac OS X (10.4.3)   2.0GHz, 1G RAM, Bluetooth2.0, 250G HD

    Darth, welcome to the discussions.
    As with anything that is MASS PRODUCED this can happen,
    I think this is the 2nd time I have seen this issue in 2 years.
    Apple said they will fix it so there is not a problem.
    Cheers Don

  • What does error message when trying to burn DVD from iDVD mean "not enough disk space to burn the remaining assets"

    I created a DVD in idvd and now when trying to burn to DVD using external burner, I get the error message
    "not enough disk space to encode the remaining assets". I am using a brand new blank DVD.
    I have read the help info on computer but hasnt proved helpful.
    Any suggestions?

    iDVD requires a fair amount of disk space to carry out the encoding process; depending on your project, you may need to have over 25 GB free space on your startup hard drive.  How much free space do you have?

  • Multiplexer error message when trying to burn DVD in iDVD

    When I try to burn a DVD in iDVD, at the end of the burning process, I get a message that reads "Multiplexer Error" "There was an error during formatting".
    Can anyone out there give me advice on how to remedy this?
    Thanks!

    When iDVD isn't functioning correctly, a basic maintenance procedure to try is:
    1) Closing iDVD and trashing the file com.apple.iDVD.plist found in User/Library/Preferences.
    2) Doing a permissions repair using the Disk Utilities app on your Mac.
    Instead of burning directly from iDVD, try saving as a disk image (an option in the iDVD File menu). This will take a while as the encoding is redone. If you get a successful disk image, open it in your DVD Player app to check it out. If all O.K. burn it at a burn speed of 4x or less with Disk Utility to a DVD-R disk of good quality, like Verbatim or HP. On my computer, Disk Utility defaults to 4x burn speed, which is good.
    See if any of the above helps.

  • IMac shuts down after burning DVDs.

    Brand new aluminum iMac 20" with Tiger 10.4.11 installed. We've found that after burning a DVD(-R) the iMac just shuts off - bizarre.
    Any ideas why this is happening? Fix?

    That's interesting, so it's not a heat problem then. So do just a few of us have defective iMac burners, or does everyone? Friends of mine who use Mac laptops for processing similar files to me, have not had this problem of mid-burn shutdown, nor has a friend in UK on a pre-Intel iMac and 10.4.9. I tried several different brands of CDs and DVDs including TDK, Verbatim Data-life Plus (usually very reliable), and DataStream. All failed equally. So far the external LaCie burner is working well and is a work around for the problem. Why was it that only the aif files failed for me? You would think if there was a Mac problem then we would all have the same thing happening?

  • After burning dvd, the audio out runs the actions or speaking

    after the dvd is made and i play it back on a dvd player, it is as if the audio is being heard before the actuall speaking. why is this?

    They were all encoded in compressor and all are about 7.6 Mb/s. The thing is, only 2 of 14 have the issue. Granted, they are the 2 longest, but not by that much. And it is out of sync for the entire program, it doesn't gradually get out of sync. Also, opening the Video_TS folder (on the computer, not the disk) in VLC shows the same problem, so its not the player, the disk media, or even the burning process. It's somewhere in the "build" process. I will try a lower data rate for those two, but it should be fine for less than an hour of material.

  • After burning DVD, DVD player cannot play main menu

    Hi all,
    I created a project with a main menu with several links to submenus in Encore. When i take a preview it all looks great. However after burning the DVD, the DVD reader is unable to lanch the CD to it's master main menu (set as first play) and after a long time searching, it starts one of the submenus. There i have a link back to the main menu, but it doesn't seem to work.
    I tried this on several DVD players but all has the same problem. I also create a DVD folder on HD, there it works.
    I'm pretty sure my DVD burner works fine. Could it be that Encore is using too heavy compression (the avi file is 29Gig and fits on 1 DVD) that can not be use for let's say cheaper version of DVD players? (2 years old).
    If not, any other idea where the problem could be ??
    Tx

    Hi Harm,
    you were absolutely right. I was either suspecting the large avi file to be to heavily compressed or my dvd burner but NO...i just bought some TDK 16 DVD-R and the whole thing was solved. Saves me a lot of trouble, no new DVD-R, no new software.... tx mate :)
    ps do you know any gud site where i can found some good audio samples which can be used for DVD menus?

  • Bad quallity film after burning dvd with idvdv professional quality.

    After making a movie in imovie and importing it in idvdv the quality is still HD
    after burning a dvd with professional quality the quatity of the dvdv is very poor. Horizontal lines are dancing over the screen!!
    Can anyone tell me wat is going on???

    Keep in mind that all Dvd's burned through your mac and are playable on your mac as well as your set top DVD player are ALWAYS standard definition /SD. There is no way around this (that is if your intentions is for playback on most computers and most set top Dvd Players.
    One of the limiting factors is apple's dvd player app. It isn't fully blu-ray compatible yet. Meaning that even if you did burn a high def. Dvd which is only playble on Sony's PS3 and most set top Blu-ray players .... the finished Dvd won't play on your mac since apple has yet to update/upgrade their DVD Player application to fully incorporate Blu-ray standards. To the best of my knowledge, apple's support is very limited here. Hence the alternative for mac users is to use Roxio Toast's Blu-ray plug in as well as Toast Blu-ray player. If you opt to go high def through Toast then the completed Dvd will NOT play on most set top dvd players but will on most Blu-ray Players as well as Sony's PS3.
    Hope this advice helps but if not just come on back.
