URGENT HELP NEEDED

Post by **Ron P.** » Thu May 18, 2006 4:15 am

Ok,

I forgot to ask where you were located.. I guessed you are located in a PAL region, by the video properties. Do you live in a PAL region?

Now for your question;

Never try to mix different formats in a project. As you are seeing, it creates problems, such as the jerky, repeating frames.

Try starting a new project, then bring in the 2nd video render it to a video file. If you are going to burn a dvd, then having the video files with different properties may produce better results. Of course when you get to the burn stage, you will have your video files that you created in the edting stage.

However I'm not sure how different the properties are. Are we talking different as in NTSC and PAL, or are they both at least the same there?

vidoman if i render the project into a video, and upload as a video, if i do it multiple times, will the quality worsen?

I do remember have the same problem.
I recorded using PAL camcorder, then I edit using NTSC editing software (at that time I use Window Movie Maker 2) and I got the 'jerky and not smooth video'. Checked again all the parameter and then re-render in PAL mode, I solve the problem.

Btw, usually I render my final movie using VS in PAL-VCD, it mean in MPEG-1.

I understand to produce DVD we must render it to MPEG-2. MPEG-1 is more compressible than MPEG-2 (I assume from 1hrs 14GB AVI file to about 650MB CD-R size).

So, is it correct that to render in MPEG-2 (DVD) will be FASTER than if we render and create VCD MPEG-1 file?

Thank you for your advice,

I just done a quick search for regions and Singapore is listed in the PAL region. So your videos, televisions, VCRs, DVDs play PAL format natively.

Thanks for all the tips, i did not manage to solve the prob despite multiple attempts to try to correct the settings, however i did an overlap with a fade in and increase the playback speed such that the lag is not shown.

However another prob surfaced whcih caused the program to lag

microsoft avi file-open dml
23.976 frame/sec
101.42kbps

compression:not accessible
24bits
640x 272
163334 frames

audio:mpeg layer 3
127kbps
44100hz

with the above settings, is it still advisable to put the clip in? what can be done to rectify. Any experts?
