Rendering 24pa Uncompressed?

Hello,

I am attempting to render a video I shot in 24pa as an uncompressed AVI (for the best quality) but everytime I do this the playback is strobing lagging and the audio cuts in and out. Is there a way to fix this? When I render it as NTSC DV it works fine.

Thanks,

I am on a PC. But I do not think it has to do with the hardware components because I have rendered bigger and longer video before (the one I am currently trying to render is less than 30 seconds). I also rendered the video with many processess running and then rendered it again without the unnecessary processess and the result was the same.
 
Don't know if you tried this already but, right click your clip on the timeline and select "disable resample", before you export as "uncomp 24p avi".
Also, doublecheck your export settings: video quality = best, framerate = 24, video codec = uncompressed etc.
Hope this helps.
 
Ok, I did disable resampling and nothing really changed. But I did notice something. Although it still jumps and skips, it does it at different parts when I use different players. If I burn it to a dvd will it play normally (i.e. is it just my computer playback) or did it render like this?

thanks for the help.

p.s. I would post it except it is 763mb uncompressed.
 
oh and one more thing.

If I print to tape and reimport it as a single clip (meaning I won't have to render it as an uncompressed avi) will I lose quality?
 
If you print to tape, you're printing as DV.

If you burn it to a DVD (video), it will be converted to MPEG-2. It will no longer be an uncompressed file.
 
Ok thank you. The holders of the film festival ask that I submitt it on an unauthored dvd, so it will not be converted to Mpeg-2.

So would it be wiser to print to tape then and reimport as an avi?

If I use a template for an avi (say 2-3 pulldown ntsc dv, or just plain dv) will I lose a significant amount of quality?
 
If you render as DV, it would be the same as printing to tape and reimporting, except that you have less of a chance of something going wrong. No reason to go back to tape. The whole thing will be rendered to DV before printing to tape anyway, because that's what gets printed.

Remember, though, that a single-layer DVD can only hold about 18 minutes of DV (a 4GB file).
 
If your source footage started as SD DV then I doubt you are going to notice any difference between uncompressed and a DV compressed AVI. Heck, I would argue you wouldn't see it on a high bit rate MPEG.
