Here is a silly question, but would PD13 give me the same problem as PD12 regarding this issue?
|
|
|
|
My brain is fried at this point. I was able to take the .m2ts video rendered in VS and burn it to a disc in PD with great quality. I have tried so many combos, and do not remember them all but the one thing I know for certain is that I was not able to produce a great quality disc where I start with my .ts file, encode/render it and then burn it to a disc all in PD. I would like to do all of it in PD so I can uninstall VS and just stick with PD.

Sorry, It did not come out, but what is MBAFF? In VS when I selected TFF, it kept it. I think this is where the problem is.
Scan type : MBAFF
|
|

OK. I encoded the .ts file with H.264 16Mbps TFF and then loaded the .m2ts file just created into share and burned an AVCHD 1920x1080i 4.7 DVD and it played the video with mice teeth and a bit blur like before. I noticed when I select TFF, it does not indicate it. Check out the mediainfo:

Not sure what you meant by Can't see all your options for encoding in PD12 at once. Use the scroll bar arrows to see all your options.
|
|
|
|
OK, I am trying to see what the next step should be. I want to put these videos on discs that I will be able to see now, but also more importantly, years from now. Are you suggesting I create avchd discs? Can I create this on BD, because the game is over 25gb. What's my next step?
|
|
|
|
The Blu-Ray player is the Samsung BD-E5700. What are you finding with the MediaInfo, and why does VS handle the rendering without problems and PD does not?
|
|
|
Here is the latest update. I took the VideoStudio .m2t file and created a disc with PD12 setting the codec to H.264 which played great  I then tried the whole thing in PD12: Imported the .ts file and first produced an AVC H.264 file(.m2ts), TFF. I then closed PD, reopened and went to Create Disc and loaded the AVC file I just created and burned it using H.264 codec and making sure no Hardware Acceleration was on. The disc played terrible with lots of jittey mice teeth and jagged motion 
|
|
|
|
Since nothing seems to be working with PD I am wondering if some of these settings are wrong such as under Edit-Preferences: Produce, etc. I have disable HA and do not use SVRT.

Thanks. I need to clarify a couple of things that are incorrect. This video that I have been experimenting with and burning to 25gb discs is not the 3 hour ts file. I cut the file into a 1.5 minute section which is 192mb. I also tried all combinations under the sun, burned them to 5 different 25gb Blu-Ray discs and popped them in the player for comparison. I took the 1.5 minute .ts section to do this.
Examples: Rendering the video with PD
1.) Rendered TFF mpeg-2 and burned mpeg-2
2.) Rendered BFF mpeg-2 and burned mpeg-2
3.) Rendered .m2ts(AVC) and burned using mpeg-2
4.) Rendered .m2ts(AVC) and burned using H.264
All of the above combinations played on my TV with mice teeth and lines = NO GOOD
As aforementioned, I took the .m2t file rendered by VS and burned with PD with same problems. The only disc that plays with great quality is the disc where the file was rendered and burned with VS. I am including the MediaInfo stats on the .m2t file rendered by VS and PD.

Not sure what else to do here. I am still willing to give PD a chance, but needless to say, this is very frustrating 
|
|
|
|
A little clarification on my last message. Both of the discs burned by VS and PD had no mice teeth or lines. The only difference is that the disc burned by VS had great video quality while the disc burned by PD had hesitations or not fluid movement of the players.

tomasc, I have a little update for you. The file I created in Videostudio was an .m2t (AVCHD) file. I created a menu and burned it to a 25GB Blu-Ray and tried it on my player. The video quality was excellent. I did the same thing in PD12. The disc burned by PD had mice teeth and lines  , but the motion was jagged. The best way to describe this is that it lacked a certain video acceleration while playing in my Blu-Ray player. I am really wanting to use PD over VS because the editing features and disc menu selection are better, but I need to have good video quality. Thoughts?
|
|
|
|
I did what you said and it did keep it TFF. The video is still blurred, however. Another thing is that the mpg file produced can only be opened by vlc. Windows media player cannot open this file. I would like to try to play this file with another program, but nonetheless, I am still seeing mice teeth.
|
|
|
|
Thanks. I actually found it the other way around. I set the field order to upper field first and that improved the quality. With PD, I did what you said and set the field order to Top Field First and BFF. There was no difference in quality. I opened the rendered file with MediaInfo and it indicated Bottom Field First even though I changed it to TFF in PD. PD doesn't seem to be able to effectively change the field order when I go into Produce and render a video.
|
|
|
|
I have an update on this theory of mine. I loaded this video sample into an older version of Corel Videostudio. Videostudio allows me to change the field order so I rendered a video using Top Field First and the video looked much better. I really like PD better than videostudio, but I wish there was a way to change field order.
|
|
|
|
I think I have the answer to the mice teeth lines in the rendered video from PD. When I play my .ts file, the motion of objects and people are fine. I am using svrt to render an mpeg-2 file. There is something about the way PD is handling the file that is causing it to have pronounced mice teeth and blurred movement of objects etc. I have been chatting with the folks on Videohelp and after lots of troubleshooting, I think it boils down to field order. This is an interlaced video, and it is Bottom Field First. Many people have suggested changing the field order to TFF instead of BFF. I have been looking for a way to change field order in PD12 but I can't see how to do that. Is there a way to change field order?

|
Here is my the mediainfo information. I am afraid I am not that savvy and advanced with this so I don't know what you mean by svrt. I did not use hardware acceleration intentionally. My system is Win7 home premium 64bit. Intel i7-4770 3.5 Ghz, 16GB RAM.

I am wanting to burn a disc of an HD video that I have. It is actually a NY Yankees baseball game that I recorded from my DVR box to my computer. It is a 1920 x 1080 interlaced .m2ts file that plays fine on my computer. I burned it to a 50gb Blu-Ray verbatim disc and I noticed that the fast action parts of the video are not smooth. For the encoding format, I chose 1920 x 1080/60i. I am wondering if I need to encode it to 1920 x 1080/24p instead or if there is something else I need to do. These discs are not cheap to say the least and I want to make sure I have it right. Thanks for your help in advance.
