Horizonal lines?

[Spookie]

I riped a DVD using DVD Decrypter to my hard drive and i played the vob files from my harddrive with some diffrent programs to take a look at it and i notice when there was fast motion there was very small horizontal lines that would show. Is this normal? and does this only happen if you play the vobs from on your harddrive and when burnt to a dvdR they are not there? i am going to be purchasing a dvd burner soon so im wanting to know if anyone has any info here about it. this is my first post and hope its in the right spot

If those horizontal lines are interlacing, then yes, they are normal and should be there.

What did you use to play it on computer? If you use a DVD software player like PowerDVD, you should not see those lines.

If the DVD you eventually make is going to be used on a standalone player to watch on TV, the interlacing will not show. That's how it's supposed to be. :c)

Best advice: when you do get your burner and go to burn it, always burn to RW disc first, check that everything looks as good as you want it, then burn a permanent copy to a DVDR disc.

I did try playing it with power dvd and the lines where still there, they are very thin lines and can be notice best on cartoon dvd backups for some reason i noticed, my guess is its the flat colors perhaps but the lines are very thin. i was hoping to make a iso with dvd decrypter and burn it to dvd-r since its a dvd5 backup. i ordered my stuff today so i will try it on a dvd-rw first like you siad. thanks

Those horizontal lines should NOT be there from ripping a DVD with Decrypter and playing back a .VOB using PowerDVD, unless the lines were present on the source DVD.

I can see telecine lines on the TV, drives me insane and makes it unbearable to watch. Regular interlacing shows, but is harder to see.

I cant watch Stargate SG1 on their DVDs, I have to do reverse IVTC and burn it to cd-r/dvd-r and watch those.

Some people see it some dont, I'm one who does and it kinda sucks.

do you guys think it could be that im playing it from my hard drive? and if i burn it to cd it will be gone when played on my dvd rom? the file is being striped straight to the drive and burned straight back to dvd-r so the files would not of been changed any at all right? well either from it being switched to vob, ugh im so new to this

No. Like was said above, PowerDVD should closely resemble what you'd see on TV, except PC resolution vs. TV. If you see the lines in PowerDVD, you will also see them on TV. You can test this when you have a RW disc.

They may not be interlacing lines, but some other problem or phenomenon. Very hard to guess as no one but you has access to your file or knows your capturing and authoring procedures.

I said IF they're interlacing and IF they do not show in PowerDVD, you're OK.
