Shaky Picture / Ghosting

[bc01]

I've successfully backed up a few DVDs using "The Big 3." However, my last 2 backups (Temple of Doom and A Beautiful Mind) have resulted in DVDs which have "shaky" pictures. I can't describe it any other way, except that when there is little movement on screen everything looks fine, but when there's movement the images seem jerky, with some ghosting.
I did notice with both I got the "Different Duration" error when importing into Scenarist, but both projects imported and compiled fine (well, I had to do some manual importing and layout with Temple Of Doom to make it work).

I've searched all over the forums and also re-authored both movies, with no luck. Any suggesstions or help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

sounds like a de-interlacing issue.
or encoding progressive instead of alternate on interlaced material that you havent de-interlaced.
if you can give us some further details on what the original source is and how you encoded, it would help to solve this problem.
and also what was your final bitrate for encoding and how many passes did you run in cce.
oh and whether it is pal or ntsc.

I had the the same problem for a while. First is this a pal dvd?
if so i can't help you, sorry. I know nothing about pal.

If its ntsc, in DoitFast4u, make sure the auto detect ntsc is clicked. That was my problem, for about 5 disc, some strange reason i unclicked it. I hope this helps.

I have the exact same problem and asked about it yesterday, but I couldnt describe it as well as you did.

When the scene speeds up, such as fast camera movement, you notice more of a ghost image!

Please tell us what you did if you find a solution.
OR if someone else know please lend us a hand.

@odeum
sorry chief but unless you provide us with some more details, any advice would be an educated guess only

Just done this one myself at the weekend, Pal version (Progressive). All went fine.
If yours is pal too will give you the settings I used and see if that helps.

I had some jerking on another movie I did, I hadnt noticed in DCCE that the Top field first was not checked it should have been, I noticed this but let cce do its job.

I ran it thru DIF4U again and this time it selected TFF and the movie was fine.

You're right, for some reason AutoDetect NTSC Video Type was not enabled. I'm retrying them as we speak. Hopefully this will fix the problem. Thanks for your helpful input.

BTW, using 4 passes for main movie, and 5 for extras.

If its a PAL DVD and you get the shaking/ghosting effect then the material is interlaced. If you use CCE 2.67+ you will need BatchCCEws 0.9.1.3+ aswell. Set DoItFast4U to "Invert field order in file names" and just make sure that anything DoItFast4U detected as interlaced has the 'Progressive' box unchecked and the 'Top Field First' box checked in BatchCCEws. I only figured this out recently myself but have found these settings work great for any PAL interlaced material including extras and episodic DVDs.
