Vibration when playing back in DVD player (after filter with VDubb)

[MALI-G]

I have been capuring and editing my old VHS tapes by using Studio 8. Everything goes well up to crating the new AVI files.

Then I use the VirtualDubb to filter and get a new AVI with better quality.

Then I made the DVD. When playing back the result on the DVD player, the movie vibrates vertically (at a frec of, let's say 5 Hz). Frame quality is very good, but the vibration makes the movie totally unacceptable. The result is the same when burning with Nero or Studio 8.

Does anybody ever faced this kind of phenoenom ?
Can anyone tell me what's wrong?

Hi!

Just to make sure I understand, have you played the .AVI that you revised with VirtualDub to make sure it doesn't show the "vibration"?

Also, what software and procedures did you use to convert the .AVI to DVD format - or did you simply burn the .AVI to a DVD as a data file?

Thanks for helping.
Regarding the first question: The revised avi file does not vibrate when playing back on the PC. Just on the DVD player.

The second: The procedure is as follows:
i) I am using studio 8.12 for capturing and editing. Also for making the movie in AVI format. (If I make the DVD with studio 8 without any postprocessing with vdubb, the DVD works well on the DVD player. But I loose the chance to make any filtering).

ii) I load the (studio) avi file in vdubb. Then make filters (if you wonder about which filters I use, let me tell you that even with no filtering at all, just passing through, the vdubb avi still vibrates on dvd player!). Then save as avi format. Up to now I have created a filtered avi file which plays well on the PC.

iii) Return to studio 8: I load the revised avi into studio 8 in the edit mode. Then jump to the "make movie" mode to create the DVD. The setting are "best video quality", no filters, "record straight to the disc" (nothing special, just the standard settings).

iv) I tried once to create the DVD by using the NERO. The result was the same: vibration.

And this is it! I do not understand what kind of codec or problem is creating this vibration. If you have any idea, please tell me.

Kindests,

Since I and many others have successfully used VirtualDub as a "link in the chain" of converting .AVIs into DVD-compliant files (.IFOs, .BUPs, and .VOBs) and eventually, DVDs, I don't believe that VirtualDub is the root of your problem.

I'd sooner believe that the problematic behavior is occurring after your step "ii" and during step "iii", when you've once again loaded the .AVI into Studio 8.

As an experiment, try loading the file from Step "ii" into Flick DVD Creator (instead of Studio 8). See if the resultant DVD exhibits the same anomalous behavior.

Just curious - What version of VirtualDub are you using?

IMO, you should frameserve from VDub to Studio between step II and III. There is no need to save as AVI from VDub, and you will keep the original quality. But I'm not sure that will solve your vibration problem.
