Jerky motion - Script help ??

[auroauro]

Hello;

I am converting my home movies to DVD, I capture and process them with Adobe Premiere Pro, I export the movie as AVI, encode it with CCE and author with DVD-Lab.

The DVD plays fine in my PC but it is jerky and interlaced lines shows on my DVD. I encoded the movie with the encoder included in Premiere Pro (sloooow), and it worked fine, so I assume the problem is I am doing something wrong since I have been using CCE (2.67 trial) with rebuilder for a long time withouth a glitch. I am using all the CCE settings showed in the DVto DVD-R guide.

I did not use the recommended Avisynth scripts showed in the DV to DVD-R guide since I am doing all the processing in Adobe and do not want to do Convolution3D or any processing, and I want to keep the video interlaced since it is going to be used on my DVD, not on my PC. I used Avisynth because CCE shows a decode error if I feed the AVI directly (I am using a panasonic codec).

The code I use is:

AviSource("C:\Trabajo\test.avi")

Any ideas ??

Hi,

After reading and re-reading (it has been difficult for me to understand) I found the problem to be the script I was using, I tried this:

code:

AviSource("C:\Trabajo\Test.avi")
SeparateFields()
odd=SelectOdd
evn=SelectEven
Interleave(evn,odd)
Weave()
DoubleWeave.SelectOdd()

And it worked fine. Sorry for asking this dumb questions but I was having a lot of trouble undertanding what the script means, I thought I was to deinterlace the video.

Now for another question, it is recommended to convert the avi to YUY2 and/or just use the ReInterpolate411() command as showed in the DV to DVD-R guide ?

Sorry if this questions are too lame, please have some patience with me, regards;

SeparateFields()
odd=SelectOdd
evn=SelectEven
Interleave(evn,odd)
Weave()

is only wasting CPU-Czcles. It is a NOP!

meaning, this Code is fully sufficient, to inverse the fieldorder:

AviSource("C:\Trabajo\Test.avi")
DoubleWeave.SelectOdd()

but, one doesn't need to change the fieldorder using AVISynth.
You just need to change it in your encoding settings...

DV-AVIs are always BFF (Bottom Field First), while analogue captures using TV-Cards are commonly TFF (Top Field First)

Thanks a lot Scharfis_brain (great logo btw):cool:,

I finally could undestood that after a long study of the "How to process interlaced and the final result to be interlaced" thread, there is a lot to learn in that thread, should be made a Sticky in Avisynth and DV forums.

Btw how do I correct the BFF problem in the encoding ? I am using CCE 2.67 trial and does not have a "Upper field first" checkbox in the Video tab ?

Thanks and regards;

Use the script Scharfi gave you:


AviSource("C:\Trabajo\Test.avi")
DoubleWeave.SelectOdd()


It will change the field order from BFF to TFF.

This what you's looking for is "Offset line" (in Video setings). 0 means upper field and 1 bottom field. You can set more e.g. 50. Try you'll see result:)
