Removing Crossbars in DVDA

Rich Parry wrote on 7/6/2012, 12:17 PM

I changed by DVDA background image from a still photo to a HD video and "crossbars" appeared as shown in the photo below. I don't know if these are just "grid lines" to help me or they will actually appear on the DVD when burned. I didn't want to burn a DVD to find out.

How to I remove the grid lines?

Thanks in advance,

I've never seen that before, but my guess is that it is in the video.

wow, now that's really weird. if, as steve suggests, it's NOT on that particular video then try using another another clip - simply out of curiosity and see if it too produces the crossbars.

i just did a quick test and an m2t loaded happily as bk/gd media....

Steve,

Your response made me dig a little deeper and I found the issue.

I found all of my videos work properly except those that I converted to AVI using CineForm Neoscene.

I shoot with a Canon 5D Mark II which outputs MOV files, the MOV work fine as a DVDA background. However, when I convert the highly compressed MOV files to less compressed AVI files, they display the "Crossbars" you saw in DVDA.

I am disappointed because ALL of my videos is in Neoscene codec AVI format. This is an annoyance, but not critical. I'll just have to be more careful if I am going to use within DVDA.

Thank you again for your helpful comment, case closed!

UsHere,

Thanks for testing and trying to duplicate. As you can see above in my previous comment on this thread, I found the problem. It was helpful knowing the no one has seen this. It made me dig a little deeper.

In summary, only Neoscene AVI codec video has this problem.

I use Cineform for intermediates inside VegasPro where all is well as it should be.

I never attempt to use the cineform codec for a direct import into DVDA- gives you poor quality - rather use VegasPro to output the correct template videostream for DVDA and all will be fine.

Just so I am clear, the problem exists for "DVDA Background" only.

As you suggest, I can use VP to output to a DVDA background friendly format, but was surprised I couldn't use the original AVI clip. The "crossbars" also was an odd result, but that is neither here nor there.

Thanks for reponse,
Rich
