Hi,

I use VMS 4.0 to create family movies. My source is a PAL DV camera. I want to burn a DVD with the final edited material.

I'm disappointed by the quality of the resulting MPEG (I can send the images if necessary).

The problem is that as soon as there is some movement (camera traveling or filming a moving person ), it seems like there are two images slightly shifted horizontally. This is clearly visible If you pause the movie (on a PC using Movie Player Classic 6.4 8.4 for instance).
The visual result is a shaky and somehow blurred movie, really unpleasant to watch.

I tried several setting (few with VMS) of the MPEG Main Concept standard plug in with no results.

I unckeched [Fast video resizing] : same result

I tried to render to MPEG with DVD Architect Studio to be able to change the bitrate : same result even at very high bitrate

I saved to DV avi and used TMPGenc : same result

I ran few tests with a friend who has Vegas 5 : same result

The problem does not appear when I use other programs line Pinnacle Studio 9.4 or InterVideo WinDVD creator (starting with a DV avi).

this is really annoying since VMS is really the tool I like best.

Any hints ?
