Can anyone explain this?
I recently began a long put off exercise to convert some of my old Hi8 tapes to digital. The intention was to transfer them to the digital domain and from there to DVD.
The first stage - the A/D conversion - was carried out by replaying the tapes on a Sony Hi8 camcorder into a Canon XM2 (GL2) camcorder, which acted as the converter, capturing its output using the standard Vegas capture facility. The resulting AVIs were stored on the hard drive. So far, so good.
I then used Vegas to edit the parts worth keeping and to encode those parts into a number of MPEG2 files. The standard PAL template for DVD was used. (The new two-pass setting was not enabled).
DVD Architect was then used to test-burn a DVD with some of these clips. Again, standard settings were used with the one exception that I asked for AC3-2 encoding instead of the default PCM.
When the DVD was played on a stand-alone player into a TV, some - but not all - of the shots exhibited that strobing effect you get with the wrong frame order. Other shots are fine..!
Any ideas?
