Why is the picture bouncing??

[Mewsic]

Recently I've been having trouble with my backing up of DVDs. Whenever I do it now I have a slight bouncing of the picture, like maybe 1 or 2 millimeters on my screen. Has anybody else run into this problem?

I know the answer: You live in a frequent earthquake zone.

Anyways, now that I know that I'm a "newbie"... I've been trying to burn a couple of DVD's, i.e. Red Dragon and American Pie 2, and am using CCE, DVD Decryptor, VFAPI, DVDMaestro, DVD2AVI and IFOEdit. I can burn a DVD onto my hard drive and view it with the DVD Preview button in IFOEdit and the picture is great, no problems. But after I lower the bitrate of the main picture and remove any extras I don't want, using CCE and IFOEdit, and then encode the VOB files using DVDMaestro, I get a slight bouncing of the picture. The picture bounces a couple of millimeters up and down, quite rapidly. I've removed all software used on my system that I use to backup DVDs and reinstalled and the same problem is there. This never happened until about 1 week ago.

Sounds like your field order is wrong...
Try using restream on your main video stream to switch the field order...
If the principles of interlaced and progressive video are not clear to you, this thread may help:

We've all done it. :rolleyes: Don't worry.

Ultimatebilly may be right. I don't author DVDs, but based on your (now) detailed description of your process, I'd start by examining the reencoded MPEG-2 output from CCE, as that's the most likely place for something like this. If it looks good, is at a DVD legal resolution and bitrate ... then you know the problem occurs further along in the process, rather than earlier.
