Motion judder on playback

[Nodge]

I've captured some analogue video using my Haupage Tv card using the "Standard DVD Quality" setting in WinTV2000. The resulting mpg files play fine in media player. I've used Magix Movie Edit Pro 2005 to compile the clips and burn a dvd. In the encoder settings I've tried both the default settings and also setting the quality to high. In both cases when playing the dvd in my dvd player any quick motion appears very juddery. I've tried the dvds in another player with the same result but for some reason they both seem to play ok on my PC.

Any ideas please?

Thanks

magix movie edit pro reencodes the mpeg2 and that is not neceassary if you aren't doing any advanced editing like transitions. use something else for basic editing, cutting,joining and authoring like tmpgenc dvd author.

Well I'm doing simple transitions like fades and I'm adding titles and so on so I'd like to use Magix if possible.

It sounds deinterlaced or the framerate was altered. Not good.

Someone else said it might be an interlace problem so I tried encoding again with the deinterlace option ticked and it seems to have done the trick. The default setting was interlaced, bottom first. The other option was interlaced, top first - which I might try just out of curiosity. None of this means anything to me to be honest and I don't see why it all has to be so complicated. Magix Movie Edit Pro looks like it should be a good bit of software and do everything I'm ever likely to need. Unfortunately it has bugs. I'm now getting en arror message saying "Encoding failed. Files not found". It seems this is either caused by a bug in the latest upgrade patch or it has something to do with selecting some enhanced menus. Not sure which. Why can't programs just WORK!!

Don't deinterlace, it ruins the picture. Your problem was field order. Just use top field first (what Hauppauge cards produce) and you will be OK.

Each frame of video contains two half pictures, each consisting of every other scan line (called fields). These may be from two different film frames, or two different points in time (from a video camera). When you watch this on TV you see one field at a time. So when you encode for DVD the DVD player has to know which field of the pair to display first.
