Line on DVD playback

eamitche · Post by **eamitche** » Wed Nov 23, 2005 12:05 am

I have been searching for a fix for my problem with no luck. Can anyone help?

I am using VideoStudio 8 to create DVDs. When I play the video back on my there is a line on the right hand side that reaches from top to bottom. This is not a black line beside the pictures. There is a green line on the picture. I have remade my project and made a DVD two times with the same result.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

You need to give us something to go on in respect of the video you are working with. What is the size of the video and format.
eg PAL 720 x 576.

What was the source of the video, if you right click the thumbnail of the video what are the video properties. What Settings did you use to render the video.

Sounds like you have an analog capture source and bumped into the fuzzy overscan area. That's unavoidable.

I would apply the Cropping filter to the video, leaving it centered, and with 98% size options for the horizontal and vertical. Apply the settings to BOTH keyframes (the one at the start of the video and the one at the end), or your video will get progressively smaller as it plays due to the idiotic defaults...

Hi Eamitche

Ok so if you have searched and read any posts, then you should have seen posted numerous times We need more information to help or something similar....

Did you follow the Recommend Procedures posted as a sticky at the top of this forum?
Are you capturing anologe video( from Camcorder, VHS, TV..) or digital from camcorder?
How are you capturing the video, using a box such as Canopus, Capture Card on your PC, USB or Firewire(IEEE1394, iLink) from a camcorder?
What are your capture properties in VS8?
What is the Project Settings?
Is the video being edited, trimmed, transitions, filters applied?
What steps are you taking to create your DVD? Are you creating/burning the DVD straight from the timeline, or are you creating a video file first? (Share>Create Video)
What format are you using to create your DVD? NTSC or PAL?
What are your system specs? (Which OS, Amount of RAM, hard drive/free space, video card, Processor Speed...)
Have you disabled programs/apps running in the background while burning?

Anyone of the above could relate to your problems, and without us knowing this information it is like telling a mechanic that my car doesn't run properly, please fix it....

Regards

Ron

I am attempting to make a video from JPEG pictures from a wedding. I simply drag the pictures and put a transition between each. The pictures hold for 7 sec and I have the wedding songs as background music. To burn to a DVD I select share> record to disk. I have done a few of these in the past with no problems.....

Let me know what info is needed based on this info.

Did you have a look at this thread, your problem could be of a similar nature.

Suspect that your images are not the same aspect ratio as your screen

heinz-oz:

I'm not sure what thread you are talking about. If you are talking about "Still pictures squashy looking" my lines are not on the sides of the picture. There is a green line in the pictures........

I have found something I can do to fix the problem........ but it will take time.... I took the pitures at the best setting on my digital camerea so they could make larger prints and keep the quality. I checked the size of the pictures and they are 35.556in. by 26.667in. If i decrease the size of each picture I think the poblem may be fixed....... this is going to be so much fun. Does anyone know if I can change a setting in VideoStudio so fix this....??

I take it this green line is in all your pictures?

It looks on face value to be a problem with your camera

eamitche · Post by **eamitche** » Wed Nov 23, 2005 12:48 pm

The lines are only on the pictures when I make a video. I don't see how it could be a camera problem.

Hi,

I've looked at the snapshot you've provided and am a loss as to why VS created this line..

Your photo sizes are quite large for display on TV. There are several programs on the internet (free) that allow you to do batch resizing. I use Irfanview for this. It seems to work quite well.

I don't remember installing any update but...
My copy of Windows XP (Service pack 2) includes a resize option.

If I select a folder containing pictures, on the menubar
(File Edit View Favourites Tools Help)
Select File then in the drop down list is an option to resize pictures.

Cannot remember if this is built into XP or may have been part of something I may have downloaded some time in the past.

I can't find that option in my version of WinXP, must be part of another program, using a shell to add that to your File Menu...
