It's 2 hours video I encode it CBR 3500 and burn DVD , my movie has flickering and jumping.
I tried 35 times(imagine the time and DVD that i waste) with different settings, but result was same POOR QUALITY.
Please tell me what to do?

Hey, have you ever tried VBR setting? I don't think CBR is good for motion video especially when it's played back on TV. Try VBR.

Good luck!!

I know it's hard to squeez 2 hours of video on a 4.7 disc. But you got to increase your brate from 3500 up.

It may be a bit of a simple answer but try using a different make of disk. Turn off programs that are not needed like card detectors etc.

I had the same problem which turned out to be down to the make of disk (TDK DVD RW) so it's worth trying different makes out.

Hi,

What was the source video -- pictures made into a movie, or video footage. Is the video footage fast motion/sports, or talking heads/interview type?

For 2 hours, you can go with AC3 audio, and ~4800kbps video bitrate. You could also try using VBR (as already suggested). This will let the encoder use more bits for the hard-to-encode scenes, while using less bits for the easy scenes...

Also make sure you maintained field-order from your captures all the way through to your authoring...
