Video Stills Flicker On Big Screen

Greetings,

I made a video slide show on Vegas Video 3.0c with various .jpg images, rendered as mpeg2 and burned it to DVD. Most of these were photos scanned at 300dpi and they came out fine. However, some of them were digital stills that had been captured as a snapshot from a Hi-8 camcorder using an analog capture card. (an older ATI All in Wonder). When I played back my DVD, I noticed that these particular images look ok on my 13" cheapo tv as well as a 27" model, but I looked at the show recently on a large projection screen tv and everything looked great except for those images that had been captured off the Hi-8 camcorder. Those images had some serious flicker. My scanned images had no problems.

Is there anything I can do to improve those Hi-8 stills in Vegas or a photo editing app that will prevent this from happening? Recapturing the stills via another method is not an option.

Thanks for the help.

try turning on "reduce interlace flicker" for the problem images (event switch)

You might try deinterlacing them with a paint program like Paint Shop Pro. This will make them progressive scan just like the ones you scanned in. I’m just guessing but this is probably the only difference between scanned images and captured images.

I had the same problem under similar cicumstances and was able to gain improvement by changing the following render settings
1.) Under PROJECT select the "resample framerate" box
2.) Under VIDEO select "Upper Field First"
