I finally got to capture from my dv but i find when i have made a svd the picture seems to flare when there is movement.

How do i stop this please

Please post the complete properties of the file you captured from your camcorder and explain in detail the steps you took to burn that file to a VCD.

File Properties are:
Video:
Format 24 Bits (720 x 576)

Comp Rate: 30%
Frame Rate: 25000 Frames/Sec
Total Frames: 1102 Frames

When I have the file in timeline, I then chose The "SHARE" button,chose :create disc
I then gave it a file name, Chose save, then in output disc format chose VCD, chose next, I then just used the current menu template. From there I went to the burn page and pressed output button and made the VCD.

Please help

I'm not sure what you mean by flare, but the most common problem with movement is a field order discrepancy between the capture and output formats. Since analog TV signals are interlaced and displayed as two half-frames, if they are displayed in the wrong order, there will be visible tearing during horizontal movement.

Much of what was written in the topmost thread in this forum regarding recommended procedures applies to VCDs as well as DVDs.

Hi Cheryl,

You are capturing in a high quality dvd setting and converting to svcd, this maybe you problem.

Try changing your capture settings to svcd which in pal land would be:

video bit rate
480 x 576
1.5 Mb/sec - 2.5 Mb/sec

audio bit rate
128 - 384 kbits/sec

Hi Merlin

I tried your suggestion and it works. Thank you very much.

Once I have mastered this I am going to try and do the same for my old vhs family movies, so I might need help.

Thanks once again for the help
