when I take my footage and look at it in the timeline in vegas or generated it looks fine. Once in a dvd and on the tv (non-progressive) it looks like a home movie. Am a doing something wrong?
The filmlook is gone. It looks like it was recorded without 24p and no cinegamma. Basically like a 500 dollar video camera.
I am wondering if it is the non progressive tv I am viewing on.
And maybe I am somehow stripping my 24p out. In fact I had a strobby pan that went away and has no strobe now.
Did you set the properties of your Vegas file to 24P, i.e., using an NTSC 24P file template (and set frame rate to 23.976 IVTC, which removes the pulldown)? If you follow the Sony whitepaper, I believe you wind up with native 24p on the dvd, but 2,3 pulldown will be inserted by the dvd player when viewing on your (NTSC) tv, but will remain native 24p if viewed on your progressive PC monitor.
I actually now have followed the white paper and created a mpeg seperate from my sound track. I did everything the paper said to do. But when I bring into the vegas dvd 1.0 I should be able to go to options and not have it say it will recompress the footage. (according to the white papaer). It does recompress however. The weird thing is, even though it recompressed it, when played on my little tv through a dvd player, it definately has the 24p encoding (even a strobe on a quick pan).
IMHO DVDA 1's 24p does not work well at all, when I went to DVDA 2 I could see a major improvment. I also believe the strobing you see is from the DVD player, is it a true 3-2 pull down progressive?
