Resulting video looks jerky in DVD SP

Hello,
I have just converted my HDV (1080i 60) video to PAL DVD. Everything looks great, picture quality, ratio, etc. Except that video looks kind of jerky when played in DVD SP. It is not smooth like my original HDV. Is this normal? (I am hoping that this is only because I watch it on the monitor and that it will look good once viewed on TV in Europe).
Does anyone have some experience with this?
Thank you.

Hello, thank you so much for that link. I will definitely try that.
Meanwhile, I have also tried this workflow:
-exported (using Compressor) my HDV 1080i 60 to ProRes(HQ), leaving all default settings
-imported resulting QT file back into Compressor applying DVD best Quality 90 min. ( here I have changed Video Format to Pal, which automatically set frame rate to 25)
And that was it. I have imported resulting m2v file into DVD SP. Jerkiness is gone, but there are those interlace artifact lines, but I assume that is normal because it is interlaced video played on computer monitor.
Do you think this workflow is ok and may work? Because I have not heard anyone to do it this way, I am kind of concerned if that workflow will work in real life.
Thank you for any tips

When sending sequence to DVD or Print To Tape, resulting video is terrible. Audio OK. Canvas playback is fine, but external video bad. First time this has happened.

I've tried making a DVD via DVD SP, also Print To Tape and the results are inferior video. Audio is OK. Everything plays back fine in canvas. But external video results very low quality. First time I've had this happen and I've looked through all the settings I can find -- no clue as to what may be happening here. Any help greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I'm working with FCP 7. The resulting video, exported either to DVD SP or via Print To Tape, is poor. This is an HD sequence, converted to DV. I've done this many times before with fine results. What I'm currently seeing is not from the conversion. Are there are any settings/prefs that might be at fault?

Built-in iSight video is jerky when recorded into iMovie.

Hello,
When I record video in iMovie directly from my built-in iSight, the resulting video is rather jerky - it doesn't look like the frame rate is slow, it's just that if I move my arm quickly, for example, while it may be a smooth motion in real life, the recorded video has little stutters in the motion, almost if some of the frames are out-of-order. I don't have this issue when using iChat - everything looks fine there. I have a MacBook Pro 17-inch (Mid-2009), with iLife '09, Mac OS X 10.6.7, 4 GB RAM, and about 100 GB of free space on my hard drive. Everything is completely up-to-date via Software Update, and I just ran Repair Disk Permissions in Disk Utility last week. The last time I recorded into iMovie, I didn't have any other applications running on the computer, and it still happened. The computer was sitting stationary on a table. I was using a professional microphone through a FireWire interface, and the audio recorded perfectly - it was just the video that had issues. The audio and video stayed perfectly in-sync the whole time, too. The video looked jerky in iMovie immediately after recording, and still looked jerky after being uploaded to YouTube. I've seen other people's videos on YouTube that exhibit this behavior, and they generally look fine if I go down to a lower resolution for playback, so I'm guessing I'm not alone - it could either be an iSight issue or an iMovie issue.

Sorry, I meant when I use the 'Q' command to put the video onto the storyline. I use the Import files to bring the files into my library of videos and it looks fine there before using 'Q' to stack the video onto the storyline. 99 percent of the time it works fine, it just has this flipped error when building multi-video composites, it has never happened when I build a normal video project.

Will Stretch property of Viewfinder effect the resulting video?

Hi there;-)
I use AudioVideoCaptureDevice in my Silverlight app to record videos. The viewfinder is a rectangle. My app have the ability to change the Stretch property of the viewfinder and that works like a charm. I have not tested if the resulting video looks different
when I change the Stretch property of the viewfinder but in your observation does it make a difference? I mean the viewfinder only shows what is being streamed from the camera sensor, right? So if I think about it it shouldn't effect the resulting video at
all but I'm not sure that's why I'm asking you. Thanks in advance.

I have not tested if the resulting video looks different when I change the Stretch property of the viewfinder but in your observation does it make a difference?
Why haven't you tested this yourself?

It sounds like you have a pretty good theory. Check it out and let everybody know if you were correct!

Burned DVD video looks like jerky- This did not happen before!

Hi all,
I have used I DVD before with great results! I have done several DVD's and each of them have looked great and smooth. I am using an HD camera and sharing to Itunes in the high resolution setting. The movie when played on my apple tv looks smooth and great. When the same video is burned to the DVD it looks like some of the frames are missing. While it looks clear it looks jerky like something you would see on the internet or an old home movie. Any help would be appreciated as I have tried to change the setting but cant seem to find what is wrong. I am not sure if some upgrade has hurt performance, is anyone experiencing this same issue. The slide show looks great and plays smooth with music. I created the slide show in Imovie08 and copied it into the DVD that way because when I tried to use the slide show option in IDVD the music kept skipping and cutting out.
Thanks for your help!

I will try to answer both request in one post. First the video did not really look like the tracking was off generally this makes lines in the video. I was more like an old time movie only not that bad where it may have been missing some frames but the picture looked good just choppy.
What I did first was share to the media browser a "large movie" from Imovie08 then import into IDVD- that did not work choppy- about 1.05gb for 38 min of video
Next I shared to Itunes from Imovie08 same as above result the same-(guess it would be since the same movie format just in a different place. Since it worked before guessed I would give it a try. I tried this option several times on several settings. While the movie played fine in Itunes it did not when burned and played on the DVD.
Someone had a post about quicktime upgrade being a problem so I thought. . .and then
Next I exported a large .MOV file it came to 8.07GB for the same 38 min of video above. This I put into the movie file then pulled it into IDVD and burned the video and IT WORKED!!! no choppy video!
Now should I have to do this every time NO. This should be fixed as it must be with the way IDVD is reading these files.
PLEASE let me know if you have any thoughts on the fix. I did remove peridan too and that did not work. I would like not to have to create such large files to make this work.
Thanks

Why does my Gopro black 3+ video look so bad on PRE11 while editing & after DVD creation playback.

Well let start with. When I do a project with video from my Samsung S4 phone or my IPhone 5 or my Canon T4i looks great on computer screen and when I play back a burned DVD or AVHCD. I just directly import from file on my hard drive. My Samsung is at 1920x1040 30fps mp4 . I believe the IPhone is a 1920x1080 MOV format.
It is the GoPro video that PRE11 has a problem with. I record at 1920x1080 30fps. Nothing special.
First the computer screen. On both of my computers when I right click on the playback screen.
Quality Highest; Magnification Fit; Safe Margin unchecked; Playback External device None; Aspect Hardware; Desktop Audio; 24Progresive Conversion Interlaced 2332; Export External Device DV 29.97 720; Checked Disable video output.
As for Publish. DVD I use preset NTSC widescreen dvd; AVCHD h264 1920x1080I ntsc.
Any other ideas why the GoPro video looks bad on computer screen & on dvd on hd tv.
Some say you first must convert GoPro mp4 to AVI then import. That seems crazy. Why can Samsung mp4 work great and GoPro mp4 not.
It seems that Adobe has not correctly written code for MP4 from on of the largest camcorder producers.

Thank you for starting your own new thread on your Premiere Elements workflow after initially posting in the thread of another.
Adobe Premiere Elements 13 Latest Developments
For your convenience, this is a copy of my reply to you in that thread which was left unanswered
johng1234321
Thank you for the reply. What I was looking for mostly are the properties of the 1920 x 1080p30 GoPro3+ Black footage that you are trying to use in
Premiere Elements 11. Are you working with the H.264.mp4 format or are you working with a Cineform.avi format? If it is the H.264.mp4 format, I am not seeing why you should be doing anything else but importing the H.264.mp4 into Premiere Elements 11 using the project preset set by you manually or the project automatically. Best you set the project preset manually to assure the correct project preset in this case.
NTSC
DSLR
1080p
DSLR 1080p30@ 29.97
There are times when the project does not interpret correctly the properties of the video when it is the first file dragged to the Timeline. When it does not do it correctly, it does not give you the closest possible fit between project preset and properties of source media, instead it gives you its default 1080i which is not appropriate for your 1080p footage.

To get a better perspective on your comparison between your cell phone and GoPro results....are you saying that you can take the videos from the cell phones and import them into Premiere Elements 11 without issue, audio out of sync or other? Are you converting the cell phone video at any time - to change a variable to constant frame size or other?
Depending on your details, I would offer to look at a sample of your specific H.264.mp4 file for which you cannot get a decent DVD-VIDEO on DVD or AVCHD format on DVD disc. If you opt to do this, you might consider sending the sample via a Dropbox link posted in this thread. I am concerned that your GoPro issue on Premiere Elements 11 is going to get lost in this thread on a different topic. If we do not gain ground on the issue soon, please consider starting a new thread on your issue so that the details and especially the results will be found more easily by those users seeking answers for the type of problem that you describe.
The answers will be in the details.
Thanks for the follow ups.

Video looks fine in preview... goes mosaic, loses audio on DVD????

I have 3 and 1/2 hours of video edited in FCP and burned on a dual-layer DVD with iDVD. The video looked good in FCP and looked fine in preview in iDVD. The DVD burned without any pop-up warnings of problems, BUT when I put it in to check it, it goes bad about 40 minutes from the end. The picture goes mosaic (it looks like a satellite picture losing signal - sorry I don't know the exact technical term) and the audio completely disappears. On the menu page if I forward to the last chapter the counter (minutes) keeps counting away but we never leave the menu page and I can't move to other chapters.
There aren't any edits or transitions where the video goes bad. I've tried re-saving to QT and reburning with the same problem in the same place. Anybody have any ideas on what's causing this and how I resolve it?

Hi
Just thinking. Can iDVD 5 handle DL-DVDs OK ?
I would.
• Use iDVD'09
• Pro-encoding Quality
• from FCP - Export out as QT.mov file, NOT Selfcontained, NO QT-conversion.
• Low free space on internal boot hard disk gives all kind of strange resulst
My mimimum 25GB for 4x3 SD video and x5 for 16x9 HD
I use
• Verbatim DVD-R
• DVD-R
• burn speed set down to x1

SonyAVCHD video looks great in iMovie11 or iDVD7.1.2. When I burn a DVD it's terrible. If I freeze frame I see squares. The picture has poor contrast. I've viewed DVD on my 6-year-old, 24 in. intel 2.16 GHz iMac, and on TV. Help!

I just bought a very good quality Sony AVCHD camcorder. I also just upgraded my computer from Tiger to Snow Leapord. My iMac is a 6-year-old, 2.16GHz Intel 2 Duo, with a 24 inch screen and 3GB Ram.
My Sony camcorder HD video looks great in iMovie11 and in iDVD7.1.2., but when I burn a DVD "professional" it looks terrible. If I look at a freeze frame on the DVD I see image made-up of squares. The picture has poor contrast. It looks as bad as poor quality VHS. Do I need to get a new iMac to make this work? Is it possible to make a sharp, clear DVD from AVCHD footage with a 6-year-old iMac like mine?

That thread helped for a time. But now it seems as though my computer is back to slow again. But, some of the jargon is over my head as well. Not sure I knew quoite everything they were talking about. But thanks a lot for that, it helped I probably just need to reread it and follow the instructions again. Thanks so much.

Video quality of burned DVD way inferior to content viewed in iDVD program

I notice the video and menu quality on my burned DVD is VASTLY inferior to video and menu quality when viewing menus and content in the iDVD program while building the presentation.
Having encoded at "Professional Quality" to a single layer DVD which didn't look so good, a number of posts in this forum suggested that "Best Performance" actually renders the best video quality.
I'm using high-quality media from Verbatim so that's not a problem. The DVD's burn fine.
The content -- all high-quality QT movies with great resolution, color and crisp text and animation, look great in and of themselves, and when viewed in the iDVD program. The menus and clips embedded in the scene select buttons, all look crisp and clean.
Burned to DVD however, the video looks noticeably "worn" and the clips in the buttons lack any kind of crispness or resolution. Definitely disappointing. The animations look herky-jerky.
Anyone know what the problem is?

Hi
No iDVD has a fixed quality - as old time TVs
• PAL 625 lines (720x576)
• NTSC 520 lines (720x480)
so Your Mac screen are way higher resolution.
There are NO HD version of iDVD - yet
*DVD bad quality*
copy of an answer on a similar question - may be of help
the iMovie 08 & 09 don't apply
There are two problems in this question.
• iDVD
• iMovie'08 or 09
iDVD - can only handle Standard definition TV quality - NO version can handle HD !
SD-TV
EU - PAL system = 625 lines analog display (no pixles) 25fps
US - NTSC system = 520 lines and 29.97 fps
That's the best iDVD can do.
iMovie up to version HD 6 - could handle interlaced video (displaying every second line
first then start over with the rest - 25fps = 50 frames of interlaced video
less flickering.
iMovie'08 and 09 has destroyed this by deleting every second line
Result a resolution of
PAL 312 lines
NTSC 260 lines
So photos displayed this way will look crappy.
Improvment
Use iMovie HD 6 or FinalCut Express or Pro
Else only way I know of to get "full" quality is by using other tools all together.
Roxio Toast™ 10 Pro (incl BR-component) and here the included FotoMagico™ for SlideShows.
Toast™ also can burn Blue-Ray - even on standard DVD (but much less eg 20 min movie)
These BR-DVDs Can only be playbacked on a Blue-Ray Player (eg PlayStation 3)
But they look super.
A more specific part reg. FinalCut
I do in FC-Express or Pro
• Export out as a QuickTime .mov file
• Not selfcontained (not important but saves time and spaces)
• NO QUICKTIME CONVERSION (Important)
I use
• Verbatim DVD-R disks
• Burn at a reduced speed x1 or x4 recommended by many)
• Secure a minimum of 25Gb free space on internal boot hard disk for 4x3 SD video
and my guess is that I would secure 5 - 6 times more for 16x9 HD
(Still no version of iDVD can do HD)

Youtube video is jerky, any clue what's going on?

I've got an old PowerBook G4. 1.5 ghz processor, 1.5 gig of RAM. It's running the latest version of Tiger, and the latest compatible versions of Safari and Firefox.
I haven't used it in like a year. Brought it out of the closet and fired it up, everything seemed fine until I ran a video. Video is jerky, not smooth, like frames are missing. I'm seeing the behavior in both Safari and Firefox.
I did a test, loaded a DVD, it played just fine, nice and smooth.
Any clue what's going on here?
On a somewhat related note, anyone know where I can find TIger discs at a reasonable price so I can reload the OS? I know I've got them somewhere around here but darn if I can find them. I'd like to do a complete erase and reinstall and see what happens. I'm trying to get the unit ready for sale.
I appreciate any advice, thanks.

In that year since you last used it, streaming video and your PowerBook have unfortunately parted company.
Most such web-video is now optimised for Intel processors and since your PB doesn't have one the result is the jerkiness you describe. I'm afraid its called obsolesence. There are apparently workarounds for YouTube videos, but since you are planning on selling the computer its not really going to help you. As to the mislaid Tiger discs - I would keep looking! Apple may be able to help you but i wouldn't bank on it. After that all you can do is try the usual routes -eBay, Craig's List etc. You could also try lowendmac.com though looking at their link to available
discs I don't think you're going to like the prices!

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.

Video portion of Nightwish DVD not playing correctly on Quicktime. It is not a smooth playback. Can I correct this?

Video portion of Nightwish DVD not playing correctly on Quicktime. It is not a smooth playback. A little jerky. Is there an easy slution to the problem?

I worded my question incorrectly. It isn't a DVD I'm having the problem with, it' s a Nightwish concert download form iTunes I am having the video portion of the video that plays not smoothy. Like it is moothing it short little segments, not a steady flow!

Exporting audio and video together for Mpeg2 dvd

Hi, I'm trying to export audio and video together for Mpeg2 dvd.. I changed multiplexing to DVD but is still exporting seperately is there something im missing? thanksa

To add, with Multiplexing set to NONE, check what the Audio format is set to. If "PCM", this is an uncompressed .wav file and will result in export of .m2v video and .wav audio (I think Mac uses .aif) and use "Import as Timeline" in Encore for both clips at once. Encore will automatically transcode the audio to Dolby AC-3, do NOT mess with settings in Encore, defaults are correct. If you have CS6, then in AME audio settings, there is an option for Dolby and you can use that to create the .ac3 audio and then Encore does NOT do any transcoding to audio or video. Note that older versions will also show "Dolby" but that is a free trial of a surround encoder, not the same. You just want the stereo option available in CS6, or use PCM option is fine

Video breaking up on DVD

I recently upgraded from FCP4 to 6 and just getting used to some subtle differences.
I am working on a project that is approximately 2 hours and 45 minutes long. Some sequences have more action and graphics than others so I export using compressor using different bit rates for different sections.
One section that I export using the 150 minute in compressor there is just one short segment where the video breaks up. It is breaking up in DVDSP simulator as well as on a dvd player after the dvd is burned. The video looks great in FCP but does not break up until after compression.
Any ideas???
thanks

OK, this issue is still occurring sporadically. Let me explain in more detail the issue.
The projects that I am working on are wedding DVDs.
One sequence is simply the live ceremony which is just the actual ceremony. The groom is mic'd as is the priest. I use one or the other audio track. There is nothing more in the timeline than the footage I captured in FCP6 using the default NTSC settings. This sequence exports fine using compressor.
The other sequence that I am having the problems with is the "highlights" sequence. This sequence has all the cheesy slo mo and music added. I copy and paste the audio and video of the vows from the "live ceremony" sequence. I go down with the music that is on audio track 2 so the vows are audible. This entire sequence uses slo mo except for the vows when the video is of course at 100%. After compression the video during the vows flickers and breaks up. This is verified by seeing the video in DVDSP as well as quick time player so the problem definitely is happening during compressor. The rest of the "highlights" looks fine. This has happened 3 times out of 7 projects. I have been able to correct the problem by exporting the vows as an aif file and then import it back in and use it in the timeline instead of the captured audio. Then I compress the sequence and the video looks fine.
Is it possible that the audio is somehow messing up the video???

HDV looks jerky, convert to AIC and exported from FCE: more jerky

First of all, I am editing a video that was shot in Japan and captured with FCP, hence the footage has the HDV codec.
When I view the footage in QT, it looks like the frame rate is messed up (the footage looks jerky, and you can see ghost trail type effects when there is a lot of motion.) There is also a wiggly black line, about 1 px wide at the top and bottom of the video the entire time.
Does anyone have any idea why it looks like this? It is a setting in QT? Or do I need to get my eyes checked? At first I thought the footage may have been shot at 25fps but when I look at the info, it says 29.97 like it should be.
I don't own FCP, so I'm editing this footage in FCE. I have converted it all to the AIC codec, and the jerkiness remains the same. The most bizarre thing is that I never noticed this until a few days ago. Do you think it has something to do with the interlacing (Upper fields)?
If necessary I can upload a sample HDV clip.
Thank you!

Thank you Tom, I've actually uploaded a sample of the problem. You can see both the weird jerkiness and the wiggly black lines. Do you think it could just be the illusion of watching something interlaced on a computer monitor? This is actually my first time working with HD (upper fields.) I appreciate your help A LOT!
