Jumpy video after burning DVD question

[Silas3474]

I am having a problem with jumpy video after burning a DVD. I am capturing using VDub, converting at CBR 8000 in TMPGenc, interlaced, bottom field first. After encoding the file looks good on the PC, but after burning, the picture is very jumpy when played from the disc on a TV or a PC

The files are football games and it's always jumpy, but more so when the motion is fast. Like I said, befor I burn it looks great, but after, not good. Am I doing something wrong in the encoding process? If so, is there any way to repair the files I already have that are DVD encoded. Thanks in advance.

Try top field first... and if you want I would use a VBR with a max of 9000 since CBR 8000 is going to waste many bits on unecessary encoding.

Definitely sounds like a field order problem. Why did you think that your file was bottom field first? With captures, you should always check the field order BEFORE you encode (at least do it before you BURN).

I don't think that there is anyway to fix this other than re-encoding.
