About to give up HELP - VS7 making DVD

Post by delboy_c »

Hey guys,

Here is my intention - to make a DVD.

Using a Sony hx60v & GoPro hero 3 black edition I have made an hour long video clip inside Corel VideoStudio Ultimate X7. I have edited multiple clips and then stuck them all into once single project. Each single clip, I rendered using MPEG4 option. Here is the exact process I did to each single clip.

1) Editing clip, using Sony Camera footage (The property file says MTS File (.MTS)) Also I used the GroPro camera (MP4 Video (.MP4)
2) Press share
3)Then I pressed the option "Same as first video clip". Once rendered.
4) I opened the file into a new project along with all the other rendered clips, thus creating my movie.
5)Project settings set to:

MPEG files
24 bits, 720 x 576, 25 fps
Upper Field First
(DVD-PAL), 16:9
Video data rate: Variable (Max. 8000 kbps)
Audio data rate: 384 kbps
Dolby Digital Audio, 48 KHz, 2/0(L,R)

6) Press "share".
7)Press "Disc" - DVD selected.

Now here's comes some of the problem. the Sony camera footage seems to play alright, the gopro footage appears laggy. however the combined footage goes distorted in places, particularly when the camera moves. its like there's little squares that show on the footage, nearly covering the entire image for mini seconds at a time. The squares look like very distorted pixels.

So where am I going wrong. essentially I want to simply make a smooth playing DVD with no distortion or laggy play, otherwise what's the point. I am clearly going wrong somewhere.

Am I rendering the files wrong? I am doing something wrong in project settings. SOMEONE please save me and everyone else around me as its driving us all crazy :shock:

I am not quite following you here

first you say you render all clips to Mpeg4 - why ?

then you say you put MTS and MP4 into the timeline - then render same as fist video clip - so depending on which comes first you could be rendering to either format - but why are you rendering to either of those ? - if you intend to burn a standard DVD then you need to render to Mpeg2 - then use that mpeg2 to burn the DVD

my first impression is that your problems are down to multiple rendering to different formats.
