Video stutter during motion sequences

[JuliusN]

Hi.

I'm trying to make a backup copy of a DVD using the BIG 3 method, but I always seem to end up with video stutter during motion sequences. No, it's not pixelation or framrate problems. It's something else. The movement just seems twitchy. Note that these problems occur when using some standalone DVD players. The backup works fine on my high-end DVD player and in my comp. I don't think it's because of crappy discs either, as I've used this media before in all of my players and it worked fine.

I'm using CCE 2.67.00.23, DIF4U 1.4, BCCEWS 0.9.1.4, Scenaid RC2.

BitrateViewer tags the movie as interlaced & top field first, so that were the settings I used in BCCEWS.

The only problems I had during the whole backup process were that Scenarist complained about a missing decoder or something. Quadrant or Sigma design error I think it was. Could that be the fault? Some help would be happily appreciated.

Sounds like a field order problem. Bitrate viewer doesn't always give the correct diagnosis. If the field order is incorrect a 'good' standalone will correct the problem. Try a re-encode without setting TFF in BatchCCEWS or restream it. BTW is this a PAL or NTSC project. If NTSC could be an avs script problem. Posting the script may help.

Thanks Zeul for your suggestions. This is infact a PAL DVD, so I will try unchecking TFF. Hopefully that will help.

One advice: read the CCE faq in the encoding forum ;)
