Ugly video error in MPEG file!

[Xoanon]

Im editing a basic video in Premiere 6 and have exported the AVI using the Microsoft DV AVI setting, as I always have done. The AVI plays back without any problem. However, when I come to bring it into TMPGEnc Plus and export to a PAL DVD MPEG2, the preview appears fine but the MPEG's video file is a distorted image, the audio jumps (kinda like a crackle) and there are diagonal distortions all over the video making it unwatchable.

Does anyone have a clue what might be causing this?

check your vfapi priority plug in settings in tmpgenc ..

I havent touched them before, I dont even know what they are. Can you explain to me please?

[Xoanon]

Im not a newbie, why was this moved lol?

[BJ_M]

it was conversion -- not dvd authoring

it was just the best place to it ...

see "problems with tmpgenc guides"

If you have problem open DV AVI files
First install a DV Codec and be sure that you can play DV AVI with Media Player.
Then try change the directshow reader priority, in TMPGEnc under Option->Environmental settings->VFAPI plug-in and right click on the DirectShow Multimedia File Reader and increase the priority to 2 or to the top of the plugin-list and reopen the video.
If that doesn't help you may need to convert the DV to Canopus reference DV (TMPGEnc do not support Microsoft DV AVI 1).

further to that -- try moving the priority of other avi readers in tmpgenc vfapi settings ..
