I am new to this but everytime I create a DVD using MovieFactory 5 the playback on my TV is jumpy.
I have a Sanyo Xacti HD1000. This comes with Moviefactory5.
I have tried shooting in different formats, I prefer 1920x1080 60fps. The playback is fine on my pc, nice a smooth.
The Media Clip properties shows the video type is h.264 "Mail profile video, Upper Field First" not sure what this means
However if I use MovieFactory to create a DVD to give to friends etc plyaback in noticably jumpy.
I have tried smaller resolutions 1280x720 @ 60fps /30fps and its always the same. Just to add I am taking the HD format and burning it to a non HD DVD but I don't think this is the issue.
The video processing and burning to DVD takes 10+ hours sometime which is frustrating.
Does anyone have any ideas. Is this a software version issue, do I need to change a preference in MovieFactory
Any help would be appreciated.
Jumpy Playback on DVD
The "jumpy" video might be caused by the field-order getting reversed. The DVD needs to be upper field first also.The Media Clip properties shows the video type is h.264 "Mail profile video, Upper Field First" not sure what this means
Unless you are making a Blu-Ray disc, all of that HD video has to be scaled down to 720x480 / 29.97 FPS (NTSC) or 720x576 / 25FPS (PAL). This takes time. And it also takes time to convert from h.264 to MPEG-2. I don't have an HD camera, but 10 hours might be normal. (You are processing "billions" of pixels!!!)I have tried shooting in different formats, I prefer 1920x1080 60fps... the video type is h.264 ... The video processing and burning to DVD takes 10+ hours...

To confirm what DVDDoug has stated above. I also do not have High Definition equipment but if I record Digital TV from one of my Hauppauge cards the bit rate is fixed at 15000 kbps which is way to high for creating a standard definition DVD. (Don't have this problem recording analogue TV where I am able to set the bit rate at recording time)The video processing and burning to DVD takes 10+ hours sometime which is frustrating.
Converting the Digital TV recording to something with a lower bit rate does take an enormous amount of time.
