Hi there, Im a newbie on this board, and have gone through all the links on the 'new users read this first' page without finding a solution to my problem.
When I author a disc there is a distortion in the final video where moving images (ie the legs of running children etc) appear 'stripey', ie they are breaking up on a horizontal plane. This is def not a TV problem as I have tried it on several different machines.
I will include as much info as I can in case anyone can help:
I am using the trial version of Mediastudio Pro 7
I am filming on a sony handycam onto 8cm dvds.
I am capturing as MPEGs using Video Capture 7
I am creating an MPEG output file before burning.
I am in Britain so I am choosing the 'Pal DVD' settings.
I have read that it is advisable to change the frame rate to 29.97 but all the people that recommend this are also suggesting the use of NTSC which I think is for the US. Should I change this or keep it as 25 fps? I have also tried outputing to a .avi file before burning but it gives the same result.
Hope someone can help me!
Cheers

The solution to your problem is simple. It is a field issue. You are using the wrong one. It`s either lower or upper field first, not frame based. (Only use this for video that will only be shown on P.C.) Whichever you are selecting choose the other one and your problem will be solved!
Keep your frame-rate at 25fps and PAL output. Ensure your capture settings are the same as your project settings.
Hope this helps,
