I'm using the trial version of DVD MovieFactory 5 Plus, and anytime I add titles to a video clip, the resulting title and scene become pixilated if there's lots of motion in the video If there's no motion then the results are crystal clear. Is this just a normal issue with DVD MovieFactory or is there something I can adjust to eliminate it?
Also, is there a way to get titles to fade in, then out again, after a specified time on the screen?
TIA
Video Pixilization
Does this happen on the final DVD, or are you still in preview? (The encoding is not as accurate in preview.)
If it shows up on the final DVD, you are probably using MPEG-2 files. MPEG is lossy compression, so every time you go through a decode/recode cycle, it gets degraded. The untouched video doesn't have to be re-coded. (Some users report no noticable quality loss when re-coding.)

Many thanks for your reply. Yes, the source file is MPEG-2 and the pixilation is seen in the final DVD. However, I have tried adding a title to the same clip using Sony Vegas editing software, and the resulting (recompressed) MPEG-2 clip isn't pixilated. I was just hoping to save the extra step by creating titles directly in DVD MovieFactory. Thanks again.

Motion pixelation making DVD from MPEG-2
The picture is great but the pixelation on rapid movement is very bad. I am unable to use MF5 to make a quality DVD of a MPEG-2 TV recording. I have tried everything I can find to improve the quality (best resample quality, two pass conversion) to improve the quality with no improvement. There must be a way to a quality DVD from such a nice MPEG-2 picture. Anyone got any ideas?
