Jerky Playback on Stand Alone Player

[luichy]

Hi....

I've just finished authoring a DVD. On the computer it plays just fine, but when I put the disc in my stand alone DVD player to watch it on TV there's a little jerky motion now and then. I notice this happens mainly when there's a high contrast change of color in between cuts.

I thought maybe this is probably due to field dominance. I just want to be sure. I'm exporting my videos to M2V and WAV directly from Adobe Premiere Pro. Perhaps there's something wrong with my export settings regarding field dominance. I'm using lower field.

Does someone know what could I possibly be doing wrong?

This happen almost everytime I author an original home video.

I would be more likely to suspect a compatibility issue between your media and player. Have you looked in the DVD Players section to see what media is compatible with your player?

i had the same problems, although sine you're saying that the stuttering / skipping happens when there are changes in contrast, this possibly could be becuase your player cannot handle the VBR, try CBR for a change, it's easier on the player. but for me a new burner did the trick: https://www.videohelp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=262485&highlight=

use good media and a good burner and save yourself lots of hours of testing...

I'm having similar issues on playback, and it may not be playback deck or field dominance related.

Depending whether you use a particular capture card, you may check the vertical resolution...

My system uses a Blackmagic Decklink board which captures 486 lines vertical resolution. It seems that Adobe Premiere Pro is geared toward DV, which is 480 lines. All of the "Export to DVD" options are set to 480. I believe the resulting line compression results in the 'jerky' playback--especially in areas of large motion.

That said, I've been looking all around for a plugin, update, or any other way to get Premiere to export 720 X 486. Adobe.com doesn't seem to be aware of this issue yet--anyone know of a fix?

I've changed brands and now it works just fine....

Now I'm using BenQ DVD+R and they play on all players I have...

THANKS

The media I was using is a generic DVD-R (no brand) and the ID was SKC Co.,Ltd.
Now I'm using BenQ DVD+R which ID is DAXON-AZ2-00.

It works great.

qbol - all compliant players can play VBR encode material. Almost all commercial disks are VBR encoded, with the exception of some low budget labels. Som eplayers reputedly have problems as the bitrate approaches the higher end of the permissable scale, but these players will choke on CBR even more readily than VBR because the high bitrate is sustained.
