Flicker problems after encoding Mpeg2 in Adobe Premiere 6.5

[jones_randy]

I am using Adobe premiere 6.5 and I have created a video footage and photo montage video. It looks great when playing back in Premiere and after copying to a VHS tape. The problem is, after I encode it to a MPEG2 file, to get ready to burn to DVD, some of the pictures but not all of them have flickering/dithering in them and it is very noticable. The video looks fine, but just certain pictures do this. I can play the mpeg before burning it to dvd and I see the problem, so I know it is in the mpeg file itself, because it also plays fine in adobe, before I encoded the mpeg file. (I also went ahead and burned the dvd and it also shows up on it, which I figured it would) Does anybody have any idea what could cause this? I just use the defaults in adobe when encoding the mpeg. Is there some kind of custom settings I should use that would eliminate this problem? What really confuses me is it only does it on like 10 pictures out of 100 and the video footage looks great. Very strange! Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

I'm not sure if this option in available in 6.5 but it is there in 6.0.

All you have to do is for each picture on your timeline, right click to get the popup menu. Then go to Video Options -> Field Options. A window will popup showing you some options. The one you are interested in is FLICKER REMOVAL. Make sure this is checked.

Hope this helps.
