OK, I've isolated the video segment.

The first 2 images are fine.

The crud appears at the third image and is still there on the rest.

I'm guessing here but could this be a compression problem? Or maybe a codec error? CyberPowerPC | Win7HP-64 | AMD FX-8320 3.5 Ghz | 8GB Mem | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti 2GB | WEI 5.9

Is it possible to try re-installing the codecs ? Not sure how but.. why not try !

The Freddymondo1.mp4 show severe pixilation at 1280x720. A pal dvd is 720x576 pixel in resolution. 18 MP photos on the timeline is overkill and may stress the pc and it’s graphics card to it’s limits.

The photo in Untitled2.jpg is 18 MP in size. I find that when I try to produce a 1080/60i or 60p video from a timeline of 18 MP photos that just a 1 minute timeline takes several minutes to produce. A 1 hour dvd could take a long time to encode with those 18 MP photos on the timeline.

I would suggest using a software like Infranview to batch reduce all the photos to 576 pixels vertically to replace all those already on the timeline. Encoding will be quick and there should be no pixelation with cpu encoding. That is with HA and HE not checked.

Wow! I'm paying $130/month and I only get 5mbps upload.

My upload speed is less than 1 Mbps. My Download is about 11.6 Mbps. I wish upload and download speeds were closer. Carl312: Windows 10 64-bit 8 GB RAM,AMD Phenom II X4 965 3.4 GHz,ATI Radeon HD 5770 1GB,240GB SSD,two 1TB HDs.

Did you ever post your project to a shared dropbox for download and evaluation?

If you had 60min total duration of 8 sec duration pics all 18MP images I'd do the following:
1) File > Pack Project Materials....
2) Winzip, 7zip or the like the PD packed project folder, overall size of compressed folder probably much less than 2GB
3) upload to your dropbox at 16Mbps would be ~17 min

Probably the only reasonable way to get some possible suggestions on corrective action in light of the fact that it does not appear to be triggered by any particular picture or edit function, as you indicate, it's always just the last several minutes.

Yes he did. I trimmed it and that's the attachment. CyberPowerPC | Win7HP-64 | AMD FX-8320 3.5 Ghz | 8GB Mem | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti 2GB | WEI 5.9

jcardana, you don't get from a pure pic timeline content of 18MP pics to a mpeg2 ~8Kbps pal dvd of 720x576 via a 1280x720 mp4 file at ~3.5Kbps that you posted. Just looking for source to be of any value vs guessing, it sounds like you are on it, good luck.

Jeff

Thanks both, I will give JL_JL's observation a try and let you know in a bit !

Guys ! It worked ! I resized my last 30 images and no more blurry ending. Thank you so much !!! You guys rock !

I don't understand. Can you give a still pic and video example? What do you use to convert? Regards,

When I was making my grand daughters graduation video back in my PD12 days, I had problems getting nice images from the video I produced onto DVD.

Someone here on the forum told me the pixelation was from PD resizing images from large images to DVD format and told me if I'm going to put it on DVD, I need to include videos and images in a similar resolution.

I knew I was going to be making DVDs. All the images I had that were greater than 2MP, I just resized them in half.

I use media Converter to convert videos and Paint.net for images. As long as the videos and images were slightly larger than 720x480, I had no problems.

I later found out, that my step son wanted me to show the video. So I had to go back and replace the resized images with the originals so I could project in 1920x1080.

I believe the problem for this thread was taking 8MP images and compressing to DVD format. I don't understand why that would have been a problem. I've never needed to use images greater then 2MP, so I never had a problem.

jcardana - I am sure many others in this forum would come to the same conclusion. The OP was not detailed in the beginning in what he did.
