Rendering Problems - Please Help

I'm rendering my video in Vegas as an avi NTSC DV file. I then load it into DVD Architect and prepare and burn the DVD.

I'm getting horizontal blurs whenever there is movement on the video? Even the camera flashs on the video do this?

I looked at the original footage through the camera and it's not there? It's happening somewhere in the editing process. I don't have an external moniter hooked up so I can't tell if it's in the captured video on the small preview screen.

This is driving me nuts and ruining my first wedding video. PLEASE HELP!!!

Ok, there's possible two things wrong here.

1) Your footage has a different interlace then the project (ie it's upper and the project is lower)

2) DVDA is interpertating hte footage is wrong.

I've had this problem for a couple months. I checked my footage and project. They both were lower field first (i'm in US). Drove me nuts. Then, out of desper, I rendered my DVD MPEG in UPPER field first. It worked. No jitter/blur/etc. Not a CLUE why this worked, but it did.

Try rendering upper field first (or lower if you're a PAL user) and see if that fixes it,

Thanks for getting back to me. I'm a realative newbie. What do you mean by rendering the upper field first ? Thanks

How do I check to see if my footage is upper or lower also the same with the project?

When you click on the video file in the media pool, it lists if it's interleaced. Right click on it and there is an option (somewhere) that says if it's upper/lower field.

To render in upper/lower field, when you render select your file type and profile. Then click "custom." Under the "video" tab there is a upper/lower field option.

If I were you, I'd render to Mpeg from Vegas. Render a 1-2 minute mpeg ith the defult DVDA mpeg settings. Then for the other, change the field to the opposite of whatever it is. Then, burn them to a DVD-RW and see which one looks better, Then you know the settings to use.
