Hi everyone, why is it that when I render to mpeg2 for DVD, I get pixelation in the dissolves to black, mainly. Is this a problem with the mpeg2 encoding, or is it the DVD player trying to read the bit stream correctly. I have two players and each has it's own issues, one really shows a lot of pixels in the transitions, and the other sometimes freezes and crashes. Both players are new (Panasonic DVD-RV32, JVC XV-S500). What I do is import the avi into DVDA and usually encode it at a constant of 8000, or I'll do a variable in Vegas depending on the length of the video I'm trying to fit on the disc. I'm always afraid of sending out DVDs to clients not knowing what's going to happen when they get it home and try it on their machines. Could it also be the media itself? I often purchase spindles of no-name brands.
What's the best method of being compatible with the general mass of DVD owners? Thanks in advance.
