The short version.....
I am using a Sony DCR-PC101E camera to record my video, then capturing it using Videostudio 8. I then typically do some multi trimming and add effects between the scene changes such as cross fade. I then 'create a video file' which I then write to DVD using DVD Movie Factory 3 Disc Creator.
The problem is....
When I watch the DVD on the televison there is about a second of pixelation after each scene change.
These are the settings that I am using in VideoStudio:
Source: Sony MSDV
Format: DVD
Options: MPEG Files
24 Bits, 720 x 576, 25.00 fps
Lower field first
(DVD-PAL)
CBR 8000
When I select to share the file I use the 'same as project settings' option
Hope this is all the information I need to give you. Thanks
Pixelation during scene changes

Sandy,
If editing Mpeg was the culprit then my many DVDs would display pixelation. But none do.
I have run across pixelation only once - when I used the Multi-Trim control many times in succession and also changed the order of the "virtual" clips in the timeline. I finally found that one of the clips was corrupt and when I deleted it, everything played well.
However, what you describe seems systemic rather than random.
I usually use simple cuts rather than transitions and don't use cross fade transitions. I use transitions between major scene changes - real video clips (produced by Save Trimmed Video). I wonder if there might be a bug associated with transitions between virtual clips...
