Or having a fleet of bicycles, a fleet of cars, a different pair of shoes for each occasion, etc. It'd be like learning multiple languages so we can use German to talk about science, Italian to talk about food, English to talk about movies, or whatever. We'd spend so much time switching platforms that we'd never get anything done. Using a Mac for video editing, Windows for playing games, Linux for file storage, etc. This can be taken to an extreme, however. Part of me wonders: If the producers of Man vs Wild (and Endless Summer too) haven't been able to master the digitization process, what chance do I have? I'm new to both DV and HDTV, so it's hard for me to get a sense for what parts of the capture/edit/burn/view process are likely to be contributing to pixelation. However, my test video is less than an hour long, and I'm sticking with the default (minimum, I assume) compression.Ĭould my source video (standard 8mm) or my analog-to-digital conversion (via DV camcorder) be contributing to the pixelation? If so, why does the MPG look pretty smooth on the monitor but pixelated on the HDTV? Hmm.
I've been assuming that compression is the cause of pixelation for Man vs Wild. Man vs Wild is one example I think they are squeezing about 3-4 hours of footage on those DVDs. Of all the commercial DVDs I've tried on that HDTV, maybe 10% are pixelated enough for me to notice. Is this because of the limiations of my source media (standard 8mm)? Or my compression? However, when I view the DVD on a 40" HDTV, there's lots of pixelation, more than usual for DVDs. This will isolate for burning and media issues. Question: If Vegas (Movie Studio) doesn't let us render optimally for DVD, what tools should I use instead? Question: Which of Vegas (Movie Studio)'s rendering options result in optimal video? If we use a non-DVDA template, then DVDA will recompress, which is likely to make the video worse. Vegas doesn't seem to let us use this (or anything other than the mysterious defaults) if we are use Burn it to DVD or render manually using one of the DVD Architect (DVDA) templates. I've seen people and books recommend using 2-pass VBR for rendering. I haven't tried rendering to AVI with my current test videos (less than an hour each). Question: Does anyone know the video settings used by the Burn it to DVD wizard?īefore that, I tried rendering to AVI and then had DVD Architect compress, but that looked even more pixelated, probably because back then I was using about 100 minutes of footage and had to use "fit to disc", which meant I had to compress more. The wizard doesn't give me any options as far as CBR vs VBR or bit rates. I've been using the Make Movie / Burn it to DVD wizard. My captures (from Hi8 camcorder to DVD camcorder to PC) look good on my PC and monitoring TV, but when I burn DVDs and play them on a big-screen TV, the video looks somewhat pixelated. If you’re rendering with a different encoder, ensure Low Delay is turned off.I'm currently using Sony Vegas Movie Studio 8. The MainConcept MPEG-2 encoder in renders with the Low Delay flag turned off. If you’re rendering with a different application, the following settings will produce a compliant NTSC MPEG-2 video stream.
You’ll need to render your audio stream separately according to the parameters listed in the AC-3 audio or PCM audio headings in this help topic. If you’re using the MainConcept MPEG-2 encoder in software, use the DVD Architect NTSC video stream or DVD Architect 24p NTSC video stream template to render your video stream.
