jittery playback

[HappyBob]

I've made several DVDs of .mpg, now and am quite pleased with the results when shown on several different DVD players. The DVDs look very good on the computer that created them, except when played back with Roxio Media Experience.

Using Media Experience results in a horribly jittery video. Commercial DVDs are fine, nice and stable. Any suggestions?

 

I am using DVD-R, Pentium 4 @ 1.7 Ghz, 1GB ram, Nvidia Geforce FX 5200 with latest drivers.

I truly believe it is a problem with NVidia's drivers. I get a jittery preview on some of my captured .avi files, when viewing them in VideoWave. The final product is okay, though.

Here is the reason: Roxio has not built a field renderer into their burning software. Until they do, you'll get flicker on any moves on an ntsc monitor/tv. The reason this doesn't show up on your monitor is that pc/mac display in frames and not fields.

 

This will explain it better:

So Guys, do I understand that there is nothing I can do about this (short of geting a non-nvidia graphics card)?

Previously I had tried a ATI card, but that wasn't compatable with my Dell.

 

What are my options?

Burn it to a DVD, and see if it is jittery in your final product. It may be like mine and come out okay.

Keith - you're slightly off beam there.

 

The article you mention points out that interlaced fields are the way to reduce 'flicker', however, EMC9 VideoWave DOES have an interlace setting

 

From the Help file:

 

"...Note: In order to be optimized for DVD-Video, an MPEG-2 file’s Frame Size setting must be one of the following: 704 x 480, 704 x 576, 720 x 480, 352 x 240, 352 x 480, or 352 x 576. For the NTSC standard, the Frame Rate must be 29.97, and for the PAL standard, it must be 25 fps.

 

Interlaced: Select this format if your final destination is an interlaced display—for example, if you are playing back a DVD on a conventional TV...."
