Premiere gives COMBING EFFECT - WHY?

[rpvc]

Hi there,

The problem I have is that when using Premiere (6.5, 6 or 5) to encode AVI to MPEG2 (DVD compliant) together with either TMPEGenc (VideoServer tool) or CCE plug in, it gives me considerably lower quality in comparison if I instead use TMPEGenc or CCE alone as encoders. In fact when burning to DVD two files from the same scene but one encoded through Premiere-TMPEGenc or CCE MPEG2 and the other with TMPEGenc or CCE MPEG2 alone I always end up getting a “combing effect” with the first of the two files no matter which filter I apply to reduce this combing effect.
I am pretty sure the problem resides somewhere in Premiere but after having tried out a number of different settings, I am LOST and I can’t use Premiere and all of its editing features which I can’t get with TMPEGenc or CCE alone.

The best quality I ever got from my home videos was I edited (add music/transition/text) my home DVD in Video Wave ( in your case Premier) and I save it to an AVI without any compression (you need a large hard drive).

I brought the AVI directly to Ulead DVD Workshop and added my menus and music, etc. I let Ulead DVD Workshop compile the AVI directly to the DVD folders (Video_TS). It took 4-5 hours, but thats how long it would have taken TMPGEnc. Wholla, the quality of the video was DVD quality (720x480), played it on a 60" Sony hidefinition television set and I was surprise by the quality!!

Concerning Premiere 6.5 using Maincocept encoder they do have a update to the encoder to version 1.2 that address several problems
