MPG-1 or 2 Shocking display

Hello,

I have a problem. I made a video which is 35 minutes long, source is DV. Everything is ok when rendering to realplayer, quicktime or Microsoft media. When I render it to mpg-1 (VideoCD) or mpg-2 (DVD), now and then I get a shocking display like it had skipped some frames during rendering. I never had this problem. What can this be?

Windows 2000 SP2
Vegas Video 2.0g

Regards,
Diederick.

Is this behavior visible if you load the video back into Vegas and play through the segment? Are the "shocks" at the same location everytime you play back?

Yes

Yes.

I must say if I make a MPG-2 the "shocking", Skipping frames or whatever you call it - I'm dutch you know - is much more then the mpg-1 file. When I put the MPG-1 file on a CD (VideoCD) and play it on my normal DVD player, at the same moments it's shocking, so playback is the same on my HD and on my DVD player (Note! DVD player is a normal player, not one you put in your PC).

This is not really a solution to your problem, but I suggest you check out this MPEG compressor:
http://www.tmpgenc.com/e_main.html

Render a DV file from Vegas and then use TMPGenc to compress your DV file into an MPEG-1 or MPEG-2.

It's an extra step, but you'll get better results than from Vegas's built in Ligos MPEG encoder and you will probably not get those 'shocks' either.

Use the 'load' button to load preset settings for DVD and VCD.
