Blurring, strobbing video.

Hello,

Finallly I finished a DVD in DVD Studio Pro of 2 hours and 12 minutes. I used mostly the setting of 150 minutes, MPEG-2, 3.7 Mbps.

Previous Workflow:

1. Shooting in HDV-standard with a Canon HDV Vixia HV30 at the best quality, but I know now that the tape register only 1440x1080 and at 60i.

NOTE: I shooted in HDV-satndard (16:9). Even though I see 2 more options of cine mode: HDV-24 and HDV-30. I just selected the HDV-standard. I guess that this makes me record at 30fps too?

2. The projects in FCP was set:
Frame size: 1440 x 1080
Aspect ratio: HD (1440x1080) (16:9)
Pixel aspect ratio: HD (1440x1080)
Filed dominance: Upper (Odd) I don't know for what is this...
QuickTime video settings: Compressor HDV 1080i60 at 100% quality.

3. Applied filters, transitions, effects...

4. Every sequence was exported to MOV. I didn't export straight to MPEG-2 because it was taking a long long desperating time, even when the sequences were already rendered.

5. Every MOV file was compressed to MPEG-2 at 3.7Mbps.... etc. in Compressor in order to create the tracks for the DVD.

6. Creation, Authoring and Burning DVD.

7. Result: Video looks like blurring and strobbing not too much but a little annoying for my eyes...
With other pre-recorded videos, this does not happen. How could I improve the quality of displaying the video.
Is this a display problem? Should I do something with the Apple display?
Is this a result of bad settings?
Should I improve my shooting skills?
Is it true that at 24fps will I decrease that blurr/strobb "effect"?

8. Any recommendations: I use to shoot scenes with movements: people walking... I love to shoot close shots of faces in movement. I like to move the camera to til down and up, left to right and all that... Suggestions please.

Thx a lot.

Are you watching the DVD on a computer screen or a Broadcast Monitor?

Don't feed DVD SP anything other than SD resolution video. It doesn't resize video properly.

was looking up visible difference between compressing 5mpbs vs 3.7mpbs and ran across this thread...

Was wondering if you found an answer to your question.

I noticed you recorded in 60i...but didn't notice if you deinterlaced...
I'm brand spanking new on here and it was just a thought...
