Converting AVI to MPEG-2 Using TMPGEnc (Choppy quality)

[MAJC42]

I have converted an AVI file that was captured from my camcorder using TMPGenc. The quality of the picture looked good except for some lines that were noticeable in the picture. I thought "O well" and decided to just burn it to a SVCD and see if the quality was any better on my DVD player (Samsung M-101). WHen I played it the quality was a lot better than a VCD except for when the screen had to move (action shot almost). Then it just looked horrible. THe quality was choppy and real rough. When the picture was still, it was fine, but when it moved it looked horrible. PLEASE HELP

THanks

In the Advanced Tab setting, you need to change the field order before converting to MPEG-2.
This is a common problem with MPEG-2 encoding.
There are two choices for field order, just select the OTHER one (e.g. odd if it was even, OR field B if it was field A). A wrong field order will make any motion look horrible.

Try increasing the bit rate.........significatly!!!

2520 average and max.

Well, I have a DC30 capture card and the final video, for me, is a svcd mode. But this problem only could be resolved with deinterlace filter (virtualdub),frameserving, and finnaly encode file with tmpGenc.

I tried all those ideas and they didn't help. I keep still getting a bad picture. Man this is frustrating!
