choppy playback on T.V.

[zachdank]

I got a bunch of footage w/ my gl2 camera, that i recorded in frame mode, i then edited this footage useing adobe premeire 6.0. then i exported it back to my gl2. then i captured it back onto NTI dvd maker. then i made a dvd w/ menus and submenus. then when i tried burning it to dvd it won't playback properly through a regular dvd player conected to a t.v. it becomes all choppy. it plays perfecty if i put the dvd in a computer. i've tried playing it through several of my friends dvd player as well w/ no luck. i tried dvd+r and dvd-r. i have a several dvd burning programs- dvd cloner, dvd x copy platinum, nti dvd maker, dvd shrink 3.1. the nti program is the only way i could figure out how to even burn a copy of my video. and i tried every possible option as far as settings to export on that program. any help would be greatly appreitiated

You shot your video in progressive mode. Your TV, I am assuming, is a regular interlaced TV(non digital). Try converting your video in Premiere to NTSC or PAL(whatever part of the world you are from...) North America and Japan is NTSC. PAL is most of Europe, except France. Is France SECAM, I forget... I know the Middle East is SECAM.

With progressive video on an interlaced TV, you get timing problems with the beam that draws your screen. That is the choppiness you are experiencing.

Then make sure your video is captured as DV-Type 2 and Bottom field first. DV-Type 1, especially in TMPGENC, is not supported as it interleves audio and video. DV-Type 2 allows better handling of the video because it is split into video and audio. Learned this one the hardway nd almost gave up on TMPG all togethher 'til I figured it out.
