jerky when panning

[boboyo]

...can anyone help me - ive converted quite a few vcd's now with some very good results/quality.......but........

when theres a slow panning scene theres always jerking!

is this just something you have to put up with with vcd?

many thanx for any response

Going from an interlaced source (2 fields per frame) to a non-interlaced (1 field per frame) will cause this. I like to think that of it as interlaced video moves in 1/2 steps while non-interlaced moves in full steps. (If that makes sense)

Anyway, you can improve panning by changing deinterlacing settings to blend the fields -- but this causes the entire video to be less sharp. Personally, I just live with the choppy panning.

I hope this helps.
