I have a problem outputing from Vegas 25P PAL project to NTSC MPEG-2 for DVD. It's fine outputtiing to PAL MPEG, but using the Mainconcept encoder for this PAL-NTSC conversion I get nasty shadowing/blurring on any motion in the frame. It seems there is some kind of 25fps to 29.7fps phasing problem.
However, rendering the same clips from Premiere Pro 1.5 using the Adobe encoder (is it Mainconcept too?) the problem does not occur and motion is smooth. I can't use it though because the transcode is rubbish even on the highest settings - complete mush compared to the Vegas output. So it's not a generic 25P PAL to NTSC problem.
Does anyone know of another encoder that would do the job without this 'phasing' problem? Or indeed, does anyone know how to eliminate it from the workflow I have already?
advice much appreciated.
