Video Flickers on the TV

[snapware]

my dvd video is Flickering/jumpy for some reasons. I used vegas to edit it. I selected lower field 1st on the video clip, and in in the mpg render options.

Is there any other reason that can be causing this? Please help, this needs to be fixed, thanks

What is the source format?

What is the project format (in project properties)?

What are the rest of the encoder settings? Are you deinterlacing?

source format was a .vob from a dvd, and original field order is Progressive and i changed it to "Lower field 1st".

I rendered to mpg2 and video options says "Interlaced, bottom field 1st"

I haven't done exactly that but try using one of the 720x480 24p (4:3 or widescreen) project formats.

That gets you a progressive timeline.

how can i change my current project format?

In Vegas,
File-Properties.

Do some frame steps to make sure everything is progressive.

i selected "upper field 1st" and rendered and it looked like it worked...hmmm but at least it's working

Progressive sources don't have fields. Maybe your vob is interlaced in that case use 720x480 29.97 and lower field first.

Progressive


Interlaced

so which setting is ideal for TVs so that it won't flicker?

Either Upper or Lower field 1st?

None, depends on what the source is.

Vegas wants lower field first. Other programs may prefer upper field first.
