Jerky Playback Using Getting The Best From CCE Guide

hmm... kinda sounds like an interlacing problem to me, but since i'm absolutely no CCE expert and not really familiar with the "getting the best out of CCE" method either, i'm gonna move ya over to the CCE forum, where this post should recieve a little more qualified attention ;) kr steVe

Thanks Steve. If it is an interlacing problem, would it cause problems for dvd decryptor in file mode. Smart ripper kept missing a vob at the beginning of the film and dvd decryptor was having trouble seperating the begining of the film from the last trailor. Strange stuff, that is why i use shrink without compressing the video for burning to my hard drive. I am going to try the decomb dll and use fielddeinterlace() in my script to see what happens.

Freezing might be due to bad media. What discs do you use?

Boulder I use TDK DVD+R, but have tried a couple of Maxwell DVD-R as well and still have the same problem.

Is playback jerky on your PC or just on the standalone? What movie is in question, is it really interlaced? You should only trust your eyes on the matter;)

The movie is not jerky on playback on my pc with nero media player, but that is a rip from shrink, uncompressed. The two movies i am cureently working on are Shrek 1 and Shrek 2.

Have you tried using DVD Rebuilder or DVD2SVCD?

I havn't tried DVD to SVCD, i will need to look into that. I have tried DVD Rebuilder, though i couldn't work out how to set it up for the file sizes i want, ie two movies onto one DVD (movie only, the file size for each movie roughly works out about 1,900,000 Kb in CCE and then i add the audio after using Besweet). I have been trying different settings the past couple of days with CCE, but to no avail, current encodes have offset line set to 1. How do you check an mpv before burning it.

I think the offset line should be 0 unless your source is interlaced and bottom field first. I don't know if Shrek 1 and 2 are interlaced, but I would suspect that they are not. Open a VOB file in VirtualDubMod and see if there is any combing in scenes with motion. Some suggestions: 1) Try another authoring program, DVDLab has sometimes caused problems 2) Use a higher minimum bitrate

Boulder there is a combing in the fast motion scenes in Shrek 1. What would you set CCE to for this type of movie. What other authoring program would you recommend ? Is there any setting in DVD Rebuilder to encode the movie to half its full size ? Can DVD2SVCD make movies DVD compliant, from what i was reading earlier in its FAQ, all the talk was about CDs, i couldn't see anything about the film ending up on a DVD ?
