Ok I'm starting to bang my head against a brick wall.
I've been using Video Studio 9 for some time and found it great with no problems. I always capture my video using the DV Type-2, edit it and then save it as a WMV 9 file at 1500Kbps, 90 Quality which gives me great results for posting my vids online.
Now for the problem. In VS 10, if I use the same settings, my video comes out with interlaced artifacts like ghosting in fast moving objects. I don't get any of this in VS 9, the video has been de-interlaced ok although there is'nt an actual De-Interlace option like there is in Media Studio Pro 8. It doesn't matter what I do with the Frame Base options it still doesn't work. How the heck do you De-interlace a video in VS 10.
I was going through the preferences etc... tutorial and in the section where it says to select the Video setting (data rate etc..)..I have no video settings area on that screen, just audio/format/attributes. I did notice that no matter which codec i choose at the top of the screen, I can't have access to the video slider/configure screen. Did I miss something?
Also, I have a Panasonic DV camera, should I use the Panasonic Dv codecs?
ok, hopping back along the path, I notice that if I choose Mpeg as my editing format, i get the video settings box...but i understand that AVI was the one to choose. Selecting that editing format brings up the screen with no video esttings and minimal audio settings.
In the end, i'm sure i'll end up just trying this out and seeing what happens.
The different formats have diffeent settings that can or cannot be applied.
Take for example Dolby Audio. That is only available as MPEG and not as AVI.
The settings dialog box is an item of 'modular programming."
When a software engineer writes a piece of code he can do so in one of two ways.
Modular - it can be dropped into several programs as a ready made set of routines.
Bespoke - purpose written for one program only.
If you use Excel spreadsheets, Microsoft Access databases or photo editing programs it is a popular amd worthwhile exercise to write a set of routines that can be used over and over again and simpy dropped into each new project that you create. These are termed 'Macros.'
As an example - a routine that ChAngEs the case of words to UPPER lower or Proper case.
Unless you realise this then you may be wondering why certain items in a dialog box are 'greyed out.' and cannot be selected.
Hi Ron,
Excellent tutorial although a little slow in places where the 'next' button is not displayed for a lengthy period.
Regarding the part about 'automatic saving' and I do note that you suggest that it could cause problems 'if it tries to save while you are performing a task'.
Yesterday I posted a new subject titled VS10 + crash problems - I might have the reason.
You might remember that I have left a couple of posts in the past describing my woes with VS10+ crashing. I think that most of my crashes have occurred while automatic saving has been in operation.
Anyway Have a look at my post

Sir ..... I am wondering if you may be able to help me.
1. after i have edited and saved my project i seem to come across a problem when burning the same project.
it seem s to have a strobing effect although i didn't insert any strobing filters.
Without a little more information to narrow down the reason, it is difficult to say..
What is the source of the video clips (where did they originate, DV camcorder, DVD, Internet)?
How did you capture/transfer to your PC, Firewire, capture card etc..?
Video clip(s) properties (mpeg, dv,)? (Right-click on video clip, select properties)
What is the Project Properties? (File>Project Properties or Alt+Enter)
Any effects applied, transitions, filters?
Did you follow the Recommend Workflow (Capture, Edit, Share> Create Video File, New Project-Share>Create Disc)? or Did you proceed directly from the Editor to the Burn Module without creating a video file?
In the Burn Module (Share>Create disc) what are your Project Properties? (Clicking the cogwheel icon will bring up the project properties for the burn module)
What speed did you burn the disc? (4x or greater)
While doing any editing or burning are there other applications/utility programs running in the background? It is recommended to disable all non-essential apps/programs for editing while working on video projects.
I ask the above questions, but think it may be a problem with the Field Order. Analog captured video is generally Upper Field First(UFF), while Digital video (DV) is always Lower Field First(LFF). If these are reversed then the video can be jerky or appear to pulsate.
1. i am capturing from mini dv
2. i am using firewire
3. i capture then then create a file
4. i burn at 4+ speed
5. i am not sure about applications running in the back ground ??
6. i only use digital video.
Since you are capturing and editing DV the field order is LFF. When you burn your disc is the project properties set to LFF or perhaps UFF? Since the editing and burning "modules" are essentially 2 different applications, they each have their own project properties.
When you create a video file and then burn to disc your project properties should be similar to this for PAL..
PAL (25 fps)
MPEG files
24 bits, 720 x 576, 25 fps Lower Field First
(MPEG-2), 4:3
Video data rate: 6400 kbps
Audio data rate: 384 kbps
MPEG audio layer 2, 48 KHz, Stereo
For NTSC:
MPEG files
24 bits, 720 x 480, 29.97 fps Lower Field First
(DVD-NTSC), 4:3
Video data rate: Variable (Max. 8000 kbps)
LPCM Audio, 48000 Hz, Stereo (or this could be Dolby Digital Audio, 48 KHz, 2/0(L,R))
Under the Edit preferences does Resampling Quality effect just previewing or final product or BOTH?
I usually set this to best. But would it make sense to leave it on GOOD while working on project and then switch to BEST before final render or making DVD Discs (burning module)?
