The end result of my DVD burns have been frustrating. I'm getting a lot of what seems to be interlacing issues. If you watch it frame by frame on the DVD player, one frame will have a black line one place and then the next frame it will be moved slightly up or down... which in full speed means its jumping around so much you have seizure. I have a fair amount of solid white in the video which in the past has seemed to make this issue worse.

The process:

After Effects settings:

NTSC DV, 720 x 480
Pixel Aspect: D1/DV NTSC (0.9) or Square Pixels
Frame Rate: 29.97

Rendered at full resolution creating an uncompressed AVI file

Adobe Premiere Pro settings:

I'm re-rendering the AVI file into MPEG using Adobe Media Encoder
Codec: MainConcept MPEG Video
Quality 5.00
NTSC 4:3
29.97 fps drop frame
Interlaced
Field Order: Lower
CBR
Bitrate: 7.0000 and up (No Audio)
M Frames: 3
N Frames: 15

then finally, I compile in Sonic DVD Producer where I create bring in my Photoshop menus, etc. Everything is on the default settings and I "Make DVD Folder" and then take those files and burn them using NERO on either a DVD-R or DVD+R. I don't know what's best.

other things i know... when watching the MPEG file on my computer it obviously looks fine. No jumping or flashing. (I'm running a 21" Flat Panel at 1600 X 1200)

Where's my problem. I just don't know enough about DVD settings to figure it out.

Thanks already,

Robert

Also, I have access to Sorenson Squeeze v4.5 if somebody thinks that will make a better MPEG
