iNDEPENDENCE DAY

[Jimmyvcdfuckwit]

Hi everyone,
I've been trying to back up Independence Day PAL version to DVD-R using DVD2DVD-r v1.49. Rips and encodes it no problem and plays back ok on computer but once it's burned on DVD-R the picture is all fucked up. You no you can set your mouse cursor up to have a trail, well this is what happens to independence day. when ever something moves in the film which is obviously all the time, its sort of stutters and leaves a trail type effect. Movie still actually plays and the audio is still fine but it's unwatchable coz of the constant stuttering and trail. I've only ever seen this type of thing once before when trying to back-up some of my porn collection. PAL versions of american porn. anyone have any ideas or solutions please.
Thanx

Some people swear by DVD2DVD-R, some people swear AT it.

Give it a try with a transcoder, see if the problem persists. It certainly sounds like a lousy encode, but it COULD be media.

interlacing. I haven't used DVD2DVD-R, but I use DVD2SVCD (which has a DVD option. And there is all of the (de)interlacing issues. It looks like that was (is) the problem.

Take a shot at DVD2SVCD with the DVD resolution (or try CVD and you can author 2 movies on 1 dvd).

Also have that problem with Independence Day and dvd2dvd-r.
It seems that this movie contains frames of different types.
According to the forums of dvd2.dvd-r this movie should be encoded as interlaced. Did that twice without any luck.

shy not give dvdshrink a try no head ache's

Independence day is too big to give a good result with a transcoder...

Well if you do not want to give DVDshrink a try just rip the movie with dvd shrink then use IC7 to encode it.

The movie is too long to transcode without issues. My SVCD backup was 4 disks (and quite artifact free I might add). That's 3.2 GB in 480x480 with MP2 sound. That's at an average bitrate of 2300. Since 720x576 is 1.75 times bigger, and to stay at 4.3 Gb...you must have a DVD bitrate of what....3000, 3500? No way is that movie going to look good at full res with those bitrates. And if you kept the 5.1 soundtrack, you got even less to work with.

Try CVD or 1/2 D1 resolution. A last resort is to do it as 2 DVDR's.

DVD's made from film are not interlaced. Only TV sources are.
