still need help with DVD quality settings..

[sparks]

i'm using the latest version of TMPGenc to encode some DV camcorder movie clips. i have used all different types of settings up to 8000kbps rate cbr, or 7000kbps rate vbr with the motion search precision set to highest quality (slowest), noise reduction on etc, but a still get a 'shimmering' effect (is it called moire?)..i'm burning using Ulead DVD Workshop on a Pioneer A04. i was hoping that by encoding at the highest possible quality, i would get DVD's at approx the same quality as my DV tapes. are there any other encoding settings or programs i should be using?...is this a media problem?

try swapping your field order

[sparks]

by default the field chosen is 'bottom first', but i have already tried it with 'top first' - no change in quality

[D_Knife]

are you able to post a screen shot?

[sparks]

in still mode, or when there is very little motion, the quality is ok. it's when there is movement that the 'shimmering' occurs, so not sure how to capture a screen shot to show the problem.

woops, cant delete my msg ;p

[D_Knife]

hmm, could you cut a small portion and mail it to me?

[pedrospeed]

i had exacly the same problem,do you know why??
because tmpeg sucks,thats why.
use cinema craft or vegas video 3.0 and you see the diference!!!

[D_Knife]

TMPEGenc doesn't suck - CCE is just better that's all.
TMPEGenc is good for most things

[sparks]

so which should i try?..CCE or Vegas Video..

[D_Knife]

I haven't tried Vegas yet.
CCE is VERY VERY good - but hard to get to get a suitable output.
Stick with it and it will give very good results
