avid export to DVD problems

Re: avid export to DVD problems

No you shouldn't. Make sure you are looking at the QT movie in HIgh Quality mode first. If they are are still there we need to backtrack back to the orignal capture.
 
Re: avid export to DVD problems

Yeah- something is definitely wrong that I'm doing and I can't figure it out. My QT is "digital master".

I've tried to recapture some small clips as a test and I still have the bad end result.

When I'm in Avid- I do notice on my TV monitor that every 3 frames there is a overlapping pause frame- I see it on any movement. When I pay it regular speed it looks fine, only when I frame advance. This corresponds exactly to the jitter frame I get.

I appreciate all your ideas, I really feel like I'm in over my head... ???
 
Re: avid export to DVD problems

Then the capture was not done correctly, or the video was actually shot in NORMAL instead of ADVANCED.

Try another pass at the capture of an area that has lots of motion. If you are capturing to DV25 via Firewire the footage needs to be ADVANCED. Try the same test when exporting the source clip as QT. Again, this should be in a 23.976p project type.

Michael-

All my stuff was shot in Normal (F5) and I am capturing via firewire with the DV25 setting- the only one I can select.

I tried a 23.97fps project just for kicks and it looks almost the same. From what I've read it shouldn't even work at all but it did.

Do you think my DVX is the problem?
 
Re: avid export to DVD problems

No, when shooting NORMAL everything you are saying is expected. Xpress Pro will allow you to capture NORNAL even though it expects ADVANCED and it will be wrong. Shoot something in ADVANCED and try the same test. Capture in a 23.976p project and you will see that alll is right with the world.

Thanks- I will try ADVANCED later to today.

So how do I get my existing footage to look as good as possible? I've shot so much in NORMAL....
 
Re: avid export to DVD problems

That would be very cool. I've tried just about every setting in Sorenson but no luck yet.

The ADVANCED 24p stuff looked great- burned some test DVDs as well. Thanks...
