Lines in video on pans after burned

I have tried to burn some quick time movies using idvd. I've created the menus and all that, but each time I burn a dvd of it, and play it back, whenever there is movement on the video, there are jagged lines that move across the images. I have been using the sony DVD - +RW disk. Could this be the problem? Should I be using the DVD -R?
Or is there a setting that I am missing? any suggestions would be appreciated, as it's driving me crazy. When I view the video in the DVD preview mode, its fine.

Hi r
And to add to Sue's fine answer I come to think of the rendering process.
How do You move Your movie to iDVD ?
By Share/Export to iDVD within iMovie ? Don't
Close iMovie
Open iDVD and start a NEW DVD project.
Now drop the iMovie project icon (the one with a star on it) into the theme window.
Did the movie name come up as text ? OK
Now make a disk image and run it with Apple DVD-playe.
Plays OK ? Doesn't it ?
Now burn with iDVD or Apple Disk Util tool (from image = faster)
and as Sue states. Verbatim-DVD + at an as low speed as possibly (Apple Disk util tool)

Video clip sound after burning

I use Adobe Premiere Elements 10, and I recently made a music video. I put a soundtrack to it. I turned the video clip sound all the way off and just let the soundtrack play over it, like a music video. I then burned it to a disk and played it on my DVD player. When it was playing, I noticed that the video clip sound and the soundtrack were both playingand over lapping each other. I burned several disks after turning every other sound off but the soundtrack, and still the video clip was playing over it. Please give me advice on how to fix it, as it would be appreciated.

Welcome to the forum.
First, I would play the Timeline with the Audio Mixer Panel open, and watch for the Levels of the other Video Tracks. You can also use that to Mute other Audio Tracks.
One can also Alt-click on the Audio portion of the Clip, and just Delete that.
Now, did you place your music onto the Fixed Soundtrack Audio Track? Some users have experienced problems with the two Fixed Tracks, Soundtrack and Narration, and the normal "fix" is to just drag the music (or narration) to an empty, "regular" Audio Track.
Good luck,
Hunt

Last-minute help! Video quality drops after burn

I'm exporting a video out of FCP using Compressor, saving directly to the DVD format for burning inside DVD Studio Pro. When I preview the video inside DSP, it looks amazing. After I finish burning the disc and view it in DVD Player, the video quality looks horrible.
See a screenshot here:
http://www.door62.com/temp/DVD-quality.jpg
The one on the left is DVD Player, the one on the right is the preview inside DSP.
Any advice? This is actually ridiculously last-minute... Any help would be hugely appreciated

I have been having simliar trouble, esp. with textured backgrounds in the video.
Specifically, someone sitting in a board room delivering a short message (2 minutes) on camera. The background is a textured wood panel with a continuously changing color gradient.
I encode in Compressor, NTSC lower field, 2-pass VBR, 6.1 Mbps avg., 7.2 Mbps max., AIF audio. I have also tried a number of bit rate variations including CBR and AC3 audio.
I drop the clip in a DVDSP track and it looks fine in simulator. Also open the m2v in QT Pro, it looks fine.
After building, I check the TS_Folder in Apple DVD Player, and the background pulses, shifting from light to dark and is filled with artifacts. It looks even worse on a set-top player.
I have had problems like this a number of times, and end up having to use other programs on Windows to get around it. Kind of a pain.
Has anyone else seen anything like this?
G5 Dual 2.3 GHz Mac OS X (10.4.8) 2.5 GB RAM, ROM v5.2.4f1

Why does the Video looks Pixelated after Burning DVD

In IDVD when I preview the video it looks great, when I burn the DVD it comes out very very pixelated. I've changed the preferences from Best Performance to Best Quality, and the project properties as well I've done the same. Does anyone know why this is happening?
I'm using 16:4 aspect ratio Video Size is 1280x720
Help

How are you viewing the DVD you created - on a computer or on a TV?
In IDVD when I preview the video it looks great
The preview uses your original content on your hard drive and is simply designed to allow you to see if the 'flow' (sequences, menus, etc) are what you wanted.
In addition, although iDVD 'supports' HD, it only supports it in the context of current specifications - not the new HD DV world that has two competing HD DVD formats.
This means your 1280x720 content gets downsized and compressed to fit on a 720x480 DVD. The video must be 'expanded' to play on a HD set.
BTW, your aspect ratio is 16:9 and NOT 16:4. 16:4 would REALLY be widescreen! I haven't seen THAT spec yet.

Video loses SYNC after burning from DVDSP

I have some video content that intermittently loses sync when burned to a DVD created by DVDSP4. Looks fine on FCP and when burned to videotape from FCP. Any suggestions to resolve this issue? Thanks.

I assume the 2GB file size limit is due to FAT32 on the video camera HD. Is there a tool to join the .MTS files before I convert them into .MOV files using Voltaic?

Video "jigsaw" artifacts appear when camera pans on burned DVDs

I've been pulling my hair out for days as I export endless new sequences at different settings and then burn DVDs, only to find that the problem does not go away. The issue is the infamous "jigsaw" artifact effect, or whatever you want to call it, meaning that when viewing the resulting DVDs, when the camera pans, images "tear" and kind of spazz out. This seems most noticeable when panning past straight vertical objects, but is not limited to only this circumstance. My suspicion is that this is all the result of an interlacing issue in iDVD, but I have certainly learned that I am capable of overlooking the obvious or being wrong. What I don't understand is that with all of us out there working on Avids and using iDVD, either there does not seem to be a unified ideal export setting that resolves this issue, or I am having a comparatively unique problem. The shame is that most of the DVDs are looking great, and it is only this one issue that is sabotaging completion of this project. I'm at my wits end, so any and all knowledgeable help is supremely appreciated. Help me keep my hair.
When viewing any of these exported clips within quicktime player, the jigsaw is not visible. But when viewing the burned DVDs on my Mac, the jigsaw is visible.
When viewing the burned DVDs on my Panasonic HDTV (TH-42PX75U) the jigsaw is visible. When viewing the burned DVDs on my Sony Trinitron Production monitor (non HD), the jigsaw is visible.
Avid Software: Avid Xpress DV 3.5.0
Editing system info: Mac G4 "Mirror door" model - Dual 1.2 Ghz PowerPC - memory 1024 MB
OS Software on Editing System - OS X version 10.2.3
Quicktime version on Editing system: QT version 6.3
Software used to burn DVDs: Idvd 8 version 7.0.1
Computer used to burn DVDs: MacBookPro3,1 - Intel Core 2 Duo 2.2 GHz (codec downloaded from Avid and installed - prior post about video not displayed in QT exports was due to missing codec)
Quicktime version on Computer used to burn DVDs - QT Version 7.4 (92) (with Pro upgrade)
DVD media used: TDK DVD-R 8X 4.7GB
Info on sequence I am burning - A 1 hour and 50 minute program of African wildlife footage all shot on regular mini DV tapes. Camera used was the Panasonic AGDVX100A on the 24 frame setting that does not require a software fix (the correction is done in camera). All the footage was digitized using this camera. When viewing any of these exports afterward within quicktime player, the "jigsaw" is not visible. It only becomes visible after burning them and then watching the dvd. All burns in iDVD 8 are using the "professional" burn mode.
Export settings from Avid and iDVD 8 result summary -
1) Exported at "same as source" from Avid yields arguably the absolute worst result, as I rather suspected with the whole field / interlacing issue, but I was feeling hopeful.
2) Trying to bypass Quicktime by using "dvstream" as the export setting also yields a very poor result. This jigsaw problem does not occur, but the resulting image is terrible. Very milky blacks, the compression is worse, as in much more noticeable, than any other export, and the image is soft and thin looking, rather anemic, and it ruins the visuals completely. What is a bit odd to me however is that I had been using dvstream to burn DVDs of other projects for years on prior versions of iDVD and it never seemed to be a problem. As I tried this one first, without having the Avid codec installed in my MacBook (which I use to burn as I can run iDVD8 on it, also meaning that trying quicktime reference is not an option, I must export, then move the completed export to my macbook pro), I am currently exporting it one more time to see if installation of the codec fixes the horrible compression and color result, but I am not hopeful at all.
3) Tried using an Avid forum suggestion that recommended using 720 X 480 - crop/pad - RGB color levels - even (lower field first) - native dimension 720 x 480. No good.
4) Another Avid forum suggestion to try the "Animation" setting for video
instead of "Avid DV" is not a viable option. The infamous "2 GB limit" message
comes up as the export nears completion and aborts. This message does not appear
with any other export setting. When cutting my sequence in half, the same problem occurs. Even if I could get it to work, the result would be useless if it meant I had to send people several DVDs of the program chopped up into little bits.
5) Heres a summary of other export attempts all using Quicktime movie and "Avid DV" for video, keeping in mind the info I read about how at least one version of iDVD had the field order (ntsc vs pal)reversed a while back. I would expect that Apple has fixed this problem by now, but just in case...
a) odd field - 720 x 486 - 601 - crop/pad - 4:3 Non-square
b) odd field - 720 x 480 - 601 - crop/pad - 4:3 Non-square
c) even field - 720 x 486 - 601 - crop/pad - 4:3 Non-square
d) even field - 720 x 480 - - 601 - crop/pad - 4:3 Non-square
Suggestions to buy a different dvd burning program or new software are nice and all, but I simply cannot afford it. I also have a fear that if I were to try a different program that the same darn thing would happen, as no one seems to be able to say with 100% certainty that this specific problem would be fixed. The only thing that would be worse than my sense of hopelessness and helplessness at present would be spending more money and still not having this maddening issue be resolved.
Help... and thanks to any of you who take the time to read this epic length post and reply!

PROBLEM SOLVED! Thanks to having downloaded Toast 8, the dreaded interlacing has disappeared. The first test made me nervous. I exported from Avid using Sorenson and using the "automatic" settings for Toast's detection of fields etc. The DVD still had the jigsaw at the same spots, but it was not as pronounced as some of the tests with iDVD. I then exported "same as source" and used the advanced settings in Toast to tell it "lower field" and maxed the compression settings as much as I could without exceeding disc space. The DVD result is the best looking I've seen so far and all interlacing artifacts are gone! Thanks to Blackdog at the Avid Forum. I now know this interlacing problem was 100% the fault of iDVD 8 and will be using Toast from now on.

Video hangs after burning on a DVD

Hi,
after burning a project with menus and several chapters, I notice the DVD is hanging after a few chapters. My DVD burner itself should be ok, I got no hardware failures and it's working fine with Nero Burning ROM. Any suggestions??
Tx a lot,
Kristof

You used iTunes to burn the CD? If so, it should work. The question is, did you choose "back up to disc," or did you create a playlist, and choose "Burn playlist to disc?"
If you do it the first way, you are just saving the actual music files (not in CD format) to a CD.
If you create playlist and burn playlist to disc, you are making an actual Audio CD that will play in any CD player.
If you are already using the second method, are you using a CD-R, or CD-RW? Some players have problems w/RW's.
Btw, iTunes songs are not MP3 format, so I don't think you'll be able to find a "converter." LOL

Button Rollovers not Appearing after burning

Hello,
Need some help. I created a DVDSP project with multiple menus and multiple tracks. Everything has been connected correctly, along with using a standard Overlay (white when you rollover, yellow when you select). All end jumps are fine, in fact in Simulator, it's picture perfect.
The problem is when I burn the DVD and test, I cannot see where my activate button is. I cannot see either on a Mac in DVD Player or in a stand alone DVD Player.
Is there a setting I'm missing to make the tracks (buttons) viewable in each Menu?
For example, Menu 2 has 6 tracks. When I select Menu 2, there is no white box to tell me where I am.
In Simulator it's a snap, work perfectly. After burning it's guess where you are...
Please help!
Thanks
Dan

OK - so you have the background as m2v - that's fine. Did you remember to create an overlay file? It is this that will give colour to the rollovers...
A dash, underline, arrowhead, dot, splodge or whatever is normal to see on menus as buttons are selected. These shapes are in the overlay (actually a part of the subpicture stream) and are shown when the button is selected. At all other times they are transparent. In your case, if you don't want an underline, you need to copy the text in the background footage into an overlay file.
An overlay is simply a still image (usually a pict, not JPG - they are not good to use) which is the same size as your video format (720x480, etc) It is mostly white and only has the shapes that you wish to appear as the rollover - in your case some text. You can either do it in grayscale or use colour - the colours get 'mapped' in DVDSP and for ease, use grayscale.
To line up the words you want, take a still form the background movie and use this as a guide in photoshop. Hide that layer when exporting your pict file.
When you import into DVDSP and add it to your menu you will then be able to colour the text as you roll over it. Without an overlay file you are left using the built in text tools, and yes, they can look very blocky. IMO, by far the best look is achieved when you don't use text as he highlight, but use some other shape instead, usually alongside the text somehow. It's a personal preference, and I'm sure you've got ideas of your own!

Inserting line in video rather than hanging in air in adobe premier pro

I want to draw a line in a video on the last layer of the video.Like if i hv taken a video of a part of roads with vehicles runningOn it and i need to draw a line on the surface of the road.I am trying and the line which i put in the video.it used to hang inThe air with vehicles going down from under the line which i hv drawn.but i need that the line should be look like as if it attached To the roads and vehicle passing over it..which actuallyShould look as real video with line attached to the surfaceOf the road rather than hanging in the airI am very new to adobe.and trying for it and i am in urgent needOf it's solution.thanks in advance.
what i am doing is open the video from premierPro cs5 and drag that video in video 1 pane.and then press Ctrl t and put the line in the imageand save and after that drag that Sequence to video2 pane and then save..after that i click on theExport button..but the desired output of line on the last layer surface ofThe video..i know there r much steps after that like aftereffectWhich i do not know.please help me i am very newbie.please explain itTo do step by step to achieve the desired result.

Thank you for responding.
I took your advice and in the Capture window there’s an option near the bottom right that states “Capture” and below that is a button “In/Out”. I guess this is what you are talking about. So I click on the button, “In/Out” and I get a pop up the states, “Invalid time code range”. How is the average use supposed to know what this cryptic message is saying? (user unfriendly).
I see two icons that look something like brackets that is to the left of the play button. I clicked on these but nothing seems to happen. I don’t know what is going on. (user unfriendly).
Perhaps since I need just a typical You Tube video, I should purchase video capture software that is more users friendly and less intuitive. That being said, MS Movie Maker does not show the option “Capture from video device” I may try video capture software on CNET.com that is recommended and has a money back guarantee. I paid a lot of money for my Adobe Premier, but being that I am in Windows 7, perhaps it is time to retire Adobe.

Slideshow shaking after burning to DVD

I have created a DVD containing a video and a slideshow. After burning the DVD and dropping it into my DVD player (actually two different DVD players -- different ages / brands), I notice that while the video is steady and plays fine, I am getting shaking of slides in the slideshow. The shaking is slight, but very noticable. In fact, at times the shaking looks more like a slight bounce (up and down) of the slide, almost evenly spaced in time (i.e. every slide gets a slight bounce). I have tried burning another DVD (burn another), and now I'm starting the burning process from the beginning, so that the rendering can happen again.
I am burning off my Powerbook's superdrive. Has anyone experienced this, and/or do you have any ideas why this might be happening?

TV - let's talk NTSC - sends one frame of information every 1/30 sec. To minimize flicker, each frame contains two fields of information that are interlaced and transmitted at 1/60 sec. In a moving image this eliminates the 1/30 sec flicker. You will see the interlacing when you make a screen capture of a video image with motion - items in motion will appear as 'teeth on a comb' because the two fields are time separated by 1/60 sec.
Now lets talk your still images. Lets say each image is displayed on your TV screen for 10 seconds. During that ten seconds, your screen is constantly switching back and forth between two separate field images. Every 1/30 sec a field (lets call it the even field) is displayed followed by a different field (lets call it the odd field) 1/60 sec later.
Keep in mind these two fields each represent 1/2 of your original image - or every other line of your image (that's why they are said to be interlaced).
If there in no fine detail, the even and odd fields will be the same - but if there IS fine detail, the two fields will be slightly different. Since they are slightly different (not noticable in area without shap detail) the eye will detect the flicker on a TV set that has interlacing. A computer display (usually) is not an interlaced display, so there is no flicker.
Note that THIS IS NOT A FAULT of iDVD! It's one of the problems of a system like NTSC video that uses interlaced video fields.
I had suggested slightly blurring your image - the point is to make the even and odd fields exactly the same so there will be no flicker.
I've said it before and I'll say it again - it is possible to have a still image that is too sharp on a DVD!
Note that if you eliminate the flicker on a TV set, the image will look slight soft on a computer monitor. Which is important to you - a TV set or a computer monitor?
very strange.
No, it's not strange when you understand what's going on, is it?
BTW, digital images taken in low light level conditions can have lots of noise (that looks like film grain). This noise can REALLY make a TV image shimmer because there are major differences between the even and odd fields.

Horizontal lines across video in Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0

I had used a software called Virtualdub to deinterlace and remove lots of garbage from the edges of a video. I had also used a software called Neat Video inside of Virtualdub to remove a lot of grains from my vhs video. I prefer to use Adobe Premiere because it's superior to Virtualdub when it comes to color correction. That is my own opinion, however, I imported the video from Virtualdub into Adobe Premiere. I did some color corrections on my vhs video. The video looks a whole better than the original. I saved the video with the color correction and exported it as an avi file. I exported the same video into Pinnacle to burn on a dvd. I noticed that the video had a lot of fine horizontal lines going across it. I would like to know what am I doing wrong with all of these procedures. I'm a beginner trying to learn how to use Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0. for video editing. I would like to use this software totally to edit my video instead of using Pinnacle software. I hope that my problem isn't too complicated. Thanks.
Gerald Sr.

You can do everything in Premiere: you do not need VD or Pinnacle.
First of all I would not deinterlace nor get rid of the edge gargage of the original footage in VD.
Depending on how the deinterlacing is being done, it still will bring down the quality off the footage.
If its for dvd on a standalone player just leave it interlaced.
Edge garbage is easily removed in Pro2 by scaling up the footage a tiny bit.
I would only use Neat Video in VD and export the footage to avi with the Lagarith codec which will give you a lossless file.
http://lags.leetcode.net/codec.html
Or skip VD and get Neat Video as a plugin for Premiere
In Premiere you can create dvd's and besides it has a much better mpeg2 encoder then Studio has.
This is a good site for learning Premiere Pro2:

GPRM Button scripts work in Simulate, but not after burning

Hello everyone:
I have a question regarding GPRM-based buttons and scripting menu navigation. My scripts work perfectly in DVD Studio Pro's simulate mode, but after building and formatting a DVD, the scripts do not function properly on a set top box, in Apple DVD Player, or when playing from the Video TS folder. The scripts were based off of a tutorial by Hal MacLean at dvdstudiopro.co.uk.
Essentially, I have one track which is accessed via a Main Menu or a Chapters Menu. There is an animation that plays at the head of each menu, so menu has a loop point. The user should return to the correct screen, the correct button should be highlighted, and the menu should jump to the loop point. All of these things happen in simulate mode, but after burning, the loop point is ignored: The correct menu and buttons are highlighted, but the menu plays from the beginning. Here is how the project is laid out:
From the main menu, if the user chooses Play Movie, the following script plays:
mov GPRM 0, 1
Jump Feature
From the main menu, if the user chooses Chapters, the following script plays:
mov GPRM 0, 0
Jump Chapters Menu
Each of the chapter buttons is assigned to the start of a scene. The feature's menu call is assigned to the following script:
mov GPRM 1, SPRM 8
div GPRM 1, 1024
Jump Main Menu(Loop) [GPRM 1] if (GPRM 0 = 1)
Jump Chapters Menu(Loop) [GPRM 1]
I was able to make the menus behave properly by writing the scripts this way:
mov GPRM 1, SPRM 8
div GPRM 1, 1024
Jump Main Menu Script [GPRM 1] if (GPRM 0 = 1)
Jump Chapters Menu Script [GPRM 1]
Main Menu Script:
Jump Main Menu(Loop)
Chapters Menu Script:
Jump Chapters Menu (Loop)
But, although the user is returned to the correct menu and the loop point, now only the default button is highlighted.
Has anyone run into the same issues? Can anyone see any flaws in my scripts, or have any suggests? i would really appreciate any thoughts you all have. Thanks for your time!

Do you have any pre scripts atached to the menus? I was having the same problems as you and found that pre scripts and GPRMs don't play nice (at least in DSP). Removing the pre scripts solved my issue.

After burning a slide show, I get a skip in audio

After burning a slide show, II get a skip in the audio about every 5 min. of run time. I imported the pictures from i photo and the music from an itunes play list. When I play the entire thing in preview it runs fine with no problems, but after burning to a dvd, I get a skip every 5 min. I burned to hp DVD-R (16x) and Memorex DVD-R (16x). Still the skip. I have burned to Best preformance, High Quality and Professional Quality. I have even slowed the burn time to 4x. Still the skip. I noticed the bar at the bottom of the screen always reads 5 min. for the audio duration and when it goes back to 0 is when it skips. The run time when I put the cursor on the audio well reads the correct 3min:35sec.

SlideShow function in iDVD - is limited to 99 photos per show.
Creating the SlideShow in iMovie HD6 or FinalCut - doesn't limit this but offers 100% control over process (audio and transitions)
Using iMovie'08 or 09 or 11 - will degrade picture quality as they only deliver every second line over to iDVD.
I never use "Share to iDVD" in any iMovie version.
• iMovie up to HD6 - Just close it and import movie project from within iDVD
• iMovie'08 to 11 - "Share to Media Browser" and as Large (not HD) will give as good quality as they can do

Poor audio after burning

Hi there,
Hope someone can help me with this...
I have made a SD DVD by converting my uncompressed quicktime files through compressor to gain MPEG2 video files and AC3 audio files.
Everything looks and sounds great when I simulate everything, but after burning the audio sounds really clunky. The fades in and out don't work at all and it really doesn't sound good at all.
In the compressor settings I put normalisation off (to -31) so not sure why this is happening, especially as all seems to be working fine when everything is simulated...
Could anyone offer any suggestions to fix?
Thanks
Matty

Take a look here
http://dvdstepbystep.com/compressor.mov
and in the second half there are settings. Make sure Preprocessing is set to "None" as in the first image below. The other settings usually also help prevent glitches, audio rate (160/192 etc) can change a needed. Also, how were you listening to the audio? Computer? Television? (I have one tv that is bad for audio)
