Strange DVD behaviour

[erdna]

I never experienced this before...Yesterday I needed to create a DVD with menus and some titles...which I did many times before. The rushes came from four different HD (AVCHD) camcorders and I needed 5 individual video's selectable in a menu. I used the X2 to edit and burn the SD DVD (~ 75 min in total). I got straight from the 5 edited .VSP sub-projects into the burning module (no video file creation), added the menu, set properties, etc. And as usual after about 5 hours I got a perfect DVD to be reproduced and distributed 100 times. Somebody wanted slightly changed fonts for the menu, so I had to burn a new master. And again 5 hours later I got it, BUT, then it happened: one, and only one! of the 5 video's showed a lot of line twitter (~ interlace flicker). They were set for UFF and although my experience is that field order with AVCHD to SD DVD doesn't matter, I made a new master with LFF this morning and as expected again the problem video and only the problem video, was bad again. I still have the burning project VSP's and the 3 master DVD's. I verified it all: the settings for burning, the reproduced VOB files (by MediaInfo) and strange enough, the first (perfect) DVD showed interlaced (UFF) video (same for the 5 sub-video's). The two other masters (set for UFF and LFF respectively) showed their VOB's as progrssive!, Again for all video's. The point is now that I never set progessive in the burning module, and I can still verify this because I still have the 3 VSP for the burning project. So the burning module burn progressive when it is not set for ! Thanks for any advise.

Hi

You are burning two types of disc.
Can you confirm which type of disc is giving the problem.

I can only suggest you double check your settings…………

Your field order should remain as original video, which was Avchd so all field orders should use Upper Field.

Video Studios Standard Definition Mpeg2 templates and default project properties will use Lower Field order.

As you are going directly to the burn stage (or adding VSP's) make sure the project properties match the required burner properties before you Share Create disc.
These properties will show under the “Options Cogwheel” as Mpeg Properties for file conversion.

Thanks Trevor. I will double check everything again (especially the project settings as you mention). The disc that was OK was an UFF type, and after the minor change in the menu I brurned an UFF disc again and then I got the problem in the first sub-video. Then I burned a thirth one with LFF and got exactly the same problem with the first (of the 5 subvideo's). In the mean time I tried to reload the disc contents (VIDEO_TS back on the X2 timeline in order to futher investigate the problem, and again I was amazed to see title 0 (the problem title) with 4 chapters on the correct DVD, and title 0 with only 1 chapter with the bad disc. As far as I know I never specifically selected chapters

Sorry Trevor, but were can I find the cogwheel that you mentioned. Do you mean the cogwheel in the burning module?

Yes.
