Jerky Movement

[maloricsdad]

I am trying to put my brother in law (and my now sister in law) weding onto dvd.
I have recorded the wedding on my digital camera in 16:9 format and transferred it to my pc.
I have done my editing using vegas 5 and rendered it to a new file.
everything seems to be ok at this point.
I am using dvd architect 2 for authoring and when i play the finished dvd, certain scenes are jerky when panning or zooming.
has anyone any idea before i throw something at the screen.
Thanks in advance .......... Malorics dad
NB ..... the video is 720x576x24 25fps and i render it in the same format.

Jerkiness can be caused by bad media, wrong field order, or bitrate set too high or low for the resolution. These are three causes I know of. Go get 'em.

I had this problem when I encoded in interlaced mode from videos captured directly from the camera through firewire. When I changed the encoding to non-interlaced, everything was fine. I don't know if that's possible in dvd architect 2, but you could reencode in TMPGEnc before importing and try that.

good luck.

I had the exact same problem! I found out that it was a combination of a few things. First, my video encoder, Moviestar, was just bad. I would recommend using TMPGENC. Second, my video bitrate was set too high, and it played fine on my hard drive but not on my dvd player. To fix the bitrate you should really rerender the video with something like TMPGENC or a quick fix that doesn't rerender it would be DVD Patcher.
