Choppy video - Help

[jazzys]

I,ve been using TMPGEnc to author my video footage. It was taken on my digital video camera and I have TMPGEnc set at Constant bit rate of 8000.
However, my footage always appears choppy when I burn it to DVD.

What am I doing wrong?

Cheers

Try changing the filed order.

What is the filed order? And where do I change it?

Many thanks

Well, it's not called filed order but field order.
If your source is interlaced, one frame consists of two fields. Either the bottom field comes first or the top field. There's an option to choose bottom field first/top field first in the Advanced Tab of Settings in TmpgEnc.
I would advise you to try to find more information on field order by searching this forum and/or reading guides.
Good luck,
Billie

TMPGenc doesn't produce 100% complient MPEG. Might be that your DVD player is sensitive to this. Try a difference encoder, BBMPEG my not be as good but it will indicate a problem between TMPGenc & your player. Mind you at 8000bps the differences between the encoders becomes very slight.

What bitrate does everybody else set there's at?
If I remember rightly I do have the field order set for BOTTOM

Try the opposite field order. Sorry for the typo in my first post. :P
