Horizontal Digital Lines On Picture With Lots Of Motion

[sorabelle]

Hi, I was wondering if anyone could help me:

 

After burning a disc with MyDVD, when the disc is played it displays horizontal lines during scenes with lots of motion. Any idea why it's doing this? Already tried changing the settings to "Progressive" instead of "Interlaced" but that seems to have made the problem worse. Any help pointing me in the right direction is appreciated. Thank you!

If you are not changing anythng, why did you not make an image file of the project? If you do that, you can make copy after copy.

 

Get one of the DVDs you made previously and use the utility on the "Data" tab under "Copy" - "Copy disc to image" Once that completes, you can make as many duplicates as you want by just burning that ISo to a disc "Burn Disc Image."

 

At this point, there could be any number of reasons why you are having the failure. You may have moved the image or the mp3 to a different location, Windos update could have caused an issue, or other.

 

I fixed the problem with the menu encoding error. Then I went and did as you said with burning it as an ISO file, which burned to disc easily and the pixelated lines were gone. However, this will not play on a DVD player, only a computer with the VLC program. Is there any way I can burn it to a disc so that it'll play on a DVD player?

Use the "Burn Disc Image" option as Steve explained in his post or download the free utilty "ImgBurn" and use it to burn the iso image file to a DVD.

Well that is backward!

 

Instead of burning directly to a disc, in MyDVD select to burn an ISO file. Name it and select where you want it on your computer. Download and run the free VLC player; it will play the ISO file. If it is OK , you can use the burn ISO file on the Home page.

 

If you still see the pixelation, in MyDVD, go to the top menu and select tools then options and put a dot next to software render (encode) try again.

 

Actually, do both in the reverse order and let us know how it turns out.

 

I'm sorry, where do I go to select the option to burn to an ISO file? All I see is "Burn to Disc."

This seems to have worked!!!

 

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

You didn't look too hard ! It is the second option in the burn dialog box. After the ISO is created, use the copy ISO to disc application on the Home page.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

 

Actually not quite...now my transitions are gone. They defaulted to "dissolve" or something after I burned it to ISO. What happened? They're still saved in the Roxio program. (Sigh)

Watched DVD on both computer and DVD player and both displayed the lines.

Assuming you mean the quality of the videos themselves, the majority are SD. However, I did notice on the HD videos the lines do not appear.

Are you using the software render mode? Look under Tools/Options when in Videowave or myDVD. If yes then try the Hardware render setting. If that doesn't work then your system may not be capable of rendering some of the transitions you have chosen, especially the 3d ones.

OK! Any idea why I get "Error Encoding Menu" when it tries to burn?

[sknis]

The first thing to try is to go to Project settings and uncheck the normalze audio option. Did that help.

What menu theme and did you do anything special to it other than adding the videos?

Menu theme is customized with my own pictures and MP3 audio. I've burned several copies of this project already, so I have no idea why there should be any problem encoding the menu all of a sudden.

Tried the hardware setting and the transitions came back...however, I'm back to my original problem with the pixelated lines! HELP!

Are you watching the disc on your computer or on a DVD player when you get the pixelation? If computer, which player application?

Please post you computer specs especially your video card or chip.

Are you working with high definition or standard definiton video?

I know Steve suggested this in an early post, but I don't know if you ever tried it. Download the free video player called VLC Media Player. It allows you to play a iso image file that you create. It allows you to test your video project before burning to DVD and thus saves you from making lots of coasters.

 

Another test is to output to DVD mpeg,best quality video and see if you get the lines in that video.

I have VLC Media Player - that is what I've been using so I don't waste discs, as you said.

 

How do I output to DVD mpeg?
