View Full Version : Movies end up good but TV show DVD's not so good

I've been using dvd2svcd (ver. 1.1.2 build 1 at the moment) for a while now and all the movies I've done are perfect, almost as good as the originals. Recently I've got a couple of dvd's of tv programmes - Hitchhikers guide to the Galaxy and Absolutely Fabulous amongst others. I've done tests using all different settings, keep interlaced, blendfield etc but they all look a bit dodgy on moving edges, even on backgrounds there is a lot of quantising(?)effect. A couple of concert video's I've done using blendfield don't look too bad but I'm not happy with the results of the tv shows (they're all PAL). Anyone else having these problems or has any suggestions?

Further to the above post, I just got an (australian) ABC DVD and got good results using Telecide. It looks like there is something funny about BBC DVD's. :confused: :confused: Can anyone confirm or deny this?

Well, one thing I can confirm is that Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy is using 24 Frames/Sec That is odd, but not unheard of.
