All my films are captured from firewire from DV cameras. They are edited and the final is exported/saved as DV again from Adobe Premier. This should have no quality loss, and plays fine in Realplayer. However, when importing to Sony DVD Architect, whilst most is fine, I am finding the fade to blacks are very flickery with horizontal banding. Any ideas why, and is there a solution. This is NOT a rendering problem with DVDArchitect. You can see this problem in the preview window before you get to the save/render/making the disc itself stage. If I import MPEG2 into DVDArchitect I do not have this problem, so we cant just blame the fact that the preview feature is probably not the best quality player in the world (compared to things like Realplayer and Windows Media player). It is just the fade to blacks that have a problem from DV format. I need these to work cos a lot of my projects finish with rolling credits over the black background. At the moment I am having to make all into MPEG22 before taking them into DVDarch. The problem is that this often means rendering on both the editing and the DVDarch programs, as it is hard to render to a size that fits nicely onto a DVD before importing to DVDarch. Often it is a bit big. Any ideas about the flickering and horizontal banding? That would be a great help. Thanks
