Motion blur

[The Stinger]

Okay, I hope someone somewhere can help me with this problem. I am currently captureing Seinfeld episodes, I capture at 720 X 480...I then edit out the commercials with Vdub and frame serve to TMPG with my bitrate 2000-3000-5000 2 pass VBR. The problem I am running into is when I play back my finish project on my stand alone DVD player it looks like good quality buy when there is any motion scenes it is almost as if it is in slow motion. The audio is fine and everything else is fine but when the picture scans or has any quick movement it's not as smooth as it should be. Can anyone explain why, or what I can do to change this? It's starting to piss me off.

Dropping frames maybe... or Interlaced show played on your progressive dvd player.

I am having the same problem with my weeding video. Can someone give us more tips on how to fix this motion blur ?

Thanks

Lower your minimum setting to 1000 or so. That will free up bits for the high motion scenes. If that doesn't do it, then consider raising your average bitrate and/or your maximum bitrate.

The problem is that it has to maintain an average of 3000 with your setting, so the low motion scenes (which may not even need 2000) are using considerable bitrate which means there is less to use for the high motion scenes. It can go as high as 5000 only if there is enough left to maintain a 3000 average. So lowering your minimum bitrate will free up more to use in the high motion scenes.

Lower your minimum setting to 1000 or so.

The minimum that TMPGEnc is accepting is 2000 ...My source AVI has 7000 on bitrate ... Can I go with 2000-3000-5000 ?

Thanks

2000 is the minimum allowed by TMPGeng? Well, then you may have to resort to raising your average bitrate. If keeping the average at 3000 is important to you, then you can try raising your max bitrate instead. Don't be afraid to raise it considerably as the encoder will still keep the average bitrate at 3000.
