DVD Playback Quality

I have recorded a 20min movie in DV-AVI format and burned to a DVD (MPEG2) using both +/- RW disks. When I playback the movie (.avi file) on Media Player the quality is very good. However when I burn to DVD (using Roxio Videowave) and playback the quality is not bad but when there is any sudden movement for example, somebody waving a hand, the picture breaks up a little. I have tried different format disks and the Burner (NEC 1300A) seems to work okay. Is this normal

Hello Kieron,

by "breaks up a little" are you referrring to "blockiness"? if so, is there
a way to alter the compression ratio of the encode to DVD in Roxio? try
decreasing the compression ratio (which will improve the encoding quality).

if you mean you see alternate lines (saw tooth) near the moving part then
this is an interlacing artifact - try capturing in Moviemaker to WMV and
save the resulting project out as a DV-AVI video (when you captured to WMV
we will de-interlaced the video, but if you captured to DV-AVI the
interlacing is preserved), then proceed as normal. Alternatively given you
already have your DV-AVI movie, roundtrip the file through Moviemaker as WMV
then save as DV-AVI just to check.

Cheers!
Warren Burch

Thanks for your advice Warren

I recently got a copy of Sonic Mydvd Version 5.0 and re-burned my .avi movie onto a DVD+RW and it works a treat. The playback quality is very good and the sawtooth problems I had on my previous attempt have now gone. My advice to anyone would be get a copy of Sonic Mydvd

Cheer
