Very Weird issue

[nsdn]

I am not sure if this is the right forum or not since it is a combination of a few things.

I have just finished editing a combination of analogue video (converterted to DV by capturing using a DV codec) and DV video.

The edit has come out great, and I can convert it to SVCD using DVD2SVCD no problems and the resultant MPEG looks very good.

However I am also archiving the video back to DV....and I can export the video from adobe premier 6.5 to the JVC DVL300EA (PAL) unit no problem. But when I play the video off the camera the analogue capture portions look......weird....kind of jerky like the field order is incorrect....but for the DV video parts it looks fine......but here is the really weird bit...I can transfer the DV BACK to the computer and lit looks fine....i can encode the video and it looks fine.

I was curious if anyone had any ideas on why i am seeing this effect....the reason why I want to archive to DV tape is ultimately I will get a DVD burner and burn at full PAL resolution. I would just feel more comfotable if it looked good off the camera....

I don't really have an answer to your problem, but maybe an experiment that could lead to an answer. What if you record the analog video with your DV recorder. Then bring that resultant DV recording into your editer and finally the whole project back to the DV tape for archiving. Yes I know, a lot of work for what could still be a failure, but the only thing I can think to do.

I wish I could do that, regrettably I started out on this capture and convert to VCD/SVCD just after I bought my DV camera.....which does NOT have analogue inputs....as everyone knows the best way to capture analogue is to record it on to a DV cam then firewire it to the computer for editing. The closest I can get is to capture the old tapes using a DV codec which I can then edit as a DV stream (I can do seamless transitions from DV source and analoge source).

I do think that the DV stream is jittering slightly after editing as well...but not as noticable. It is definitly not noticable tho on the AVI stream tho...mebbe the JVC does not like the Premier DV stream....might try ulead and see what happens

Actually I wanted to try exactly what you sugest...because it does look like what you say....

But I do not have the option to change the fiel order in my capture program...I am using iuVCR...with the tweeked BT848 drivers......then there seems to be no way to flip it....its strange I can't see the effect on my monitor when playing the AVI...other than normal interlace stuff......

Actually I am starting to think there might be something about the JVC camera and Premier...because I see similar effects with DV edited material......I am gonna try and encode THAT material to MPEG and see how it looks.

In any case...I am achieving my purpose and that is to archive my decaying camera tapes to DV...when I can afford a DVD burner....I can still deinterlace and burn....I have tested what MPEG2 looks like at a decent bitrate and the result is fine.
