I have a wierd problem with the end result of a cce project. My source is DV progressive PAL. I used the settings in CCE as follows:
VBR 5 pass 8500 avr. bitrate. GOP Sequence: M=3 n/m=5, Seq. header = 1. Checked box for add sequence end code, checked box for dvd video compliant, liminance level: 16 - 235, offset = 0, standard quantize matrice settings, zigzag block scanning order, intra block dc precision = 9, quantisizer charastaristics = 16, progressive frame flag is checked. My CCE version is 2.67.00.23.

What I did was drag and drop the dv .avi file into cce and made the settings above and encoded (no avisynth). Most parts of the movie looks good, but I've used some slow motion and fast motion action in the movie, when these parts are playing something wierd happens to the moving objects. It's a bit hard to explain. It looks like the moving parts of the scene is breaking up into lines, where some lines don't follow the movement fast enough, and the others are a bit ahead, resulting in crappy image. It can also occur in scenes where I've applied a ghost and blur effects. It could look like the source is interlaced, but it's not, of that I'm sure, and I've checked progressive flag in cce.

Are there any settings in CCE I should check change to see if I can fix this. Any guides to the best settings in cce for dv source material?? Need some help quick.

Are you absolutely sure about this? Because what you describe sounds exactly like interlaced content encoded as progressive.

Yeah, I was absolutely sure about this, I thought it looked like interlaced material too. Not only are there interlacing lines, but it also had that tv look that interlaced give. So the camera man decided to second guess his own oppinion about this, and figured out that some scenes were accidently shot with interlaced mode on instead of progressive on. Apparently it's easy to make that mistake on that camera. Thanx anyways though.
