When writing Digital Video to DVDR, transitions are jittery

[mike_in_sd]

Hi .. I am authoring Digital Video ( camcorder ) and putting on DVDR. I was going to SVCD and everything looked good but it was hit and miss wether it played on friends and family's players .. so I bought a DVD Writer ( the pioneer ) and although the picture is super crisp .. the transitions flicker or jitter and its driving me crazy.

I use Pin Stud 8 and tried writing directly from there .. but .. any movement caused flickering/jitter

I have tried outputing to AVI ( which looks perfect ) and then
using tempg to convert to dvd and then ulead dvd factory to write it
and it fixed the movement thingy .. but .. the transitions are still jittering

I love PIN .. so I hope a fix can be found without going to something else to edit/render

thanks alot
Mike

This jitter (I'm 99.99% sure) is caused by wrong field order (there are tons of threads about field orders).
As about transitions. How exactly do You edit Your video? Cuting/joining MPG with TMPGenc? In this case it is TMPGEnc, cause it can't make clear joins.

Thanks for the reply epo ..

I was excited with your suggestion and just got done re-converting using top down field order or whatever it is ...

its weird .. the transitions are smooth .. but .. the video part jittters badly during any movement and the disk hangs and stutters .. but the damn transitions ARE smooth .. grin ..

thanks for the try.
