mainconcept / tmpgenc conversion

[Wilson]

I have a mpeg 2 file capture from TV at 9500 and want to cut the commercial and render down to Variable bit rate of 6000.

When I use either program the result mpeg, whenever there is motion, it is shaky and looks like there is ghosts shawdows. If I used Vegas 3 and everything is fine.

I am not sure if I did some settings wrong. Please help

thanks

Play your video on PowerDVD or WinDVD. It looks as if your video is interlaced. If it is, it will not show up on your TV, so play it in one of the PC players to be sure.

i played in windvd and also on tv both cases the motion seems flicker...shadowy.

But not if I use Vegas 3, it is strange because vegas 3 is also mainconcept encoder.

You may want to change the field order. In TMPGEnc, it is in Settings-->Advanced tab.

Hi sorry about it.

But what is field order? I read that for TV capture I should use Top first and if it is DV then Bottom first. But when I see the setting in Vegas, it says Interlaced, bottom first.

The way I currently encode is Bottom first, but there is no Interlaced options to choose.

So I should encode using top first?

Thanks
