Hi - I've an issue with jittery playback, but I'm not sure on the cause, and whether there is anything I can do.

I've an NTSC camcorder but now live in UK (hence PAL). I'm trying to burn my first project to DVD editing 4 hours of holiday footage to about 1 hour.

Everything is fine until I burn to DVD. I've tried burning to PAL, NTSC and the "Both" setting, but it seems to make little difference. There is always a slight jitter on playback.

Has anyone any suggestions. Having read this forum I have now updated my video drivers to the latest level (albeit after I'd imported all the source video) and recreated the files using the "DVD Best Quality" settings.

Any suggestions??

I am not sure if I will be able to help or not, what I said Gest is to try to see if you can convert your file from NTSC to PAL before trying to write two disk. I live in New Zealand, which is a PAL TV system. I have some old VHS tapes in the NTSC system. I have been able to convert with other software. I hope this may give you some clues on what to look for hopeless at help Michelle

The only way I can think you'd be able to manage is to import the video footage into the computer first as an avi file (maybe using movie maker) and then re-render that to the 25 fps/625 lines of the European TV standard (erroneously referred to as PAL)
