Hey, all. Fellow forum member Oso Blanco is trying to figure out how to take an HD file that he’s got, and somehow translate it down to DVD-quality level, so he can burn it. Can anyone offer any advice?
Here’s what he’s had to say about the source file and the things he’s tried so far:
"It’s a recording from an HDTV broadcast on HBO … I downloaded it. Resolution is 1920x10880. There seem to be very few free programms that can convert such a thing. I’m giving a free trial version of TMPGEnc a try right now.
"…The program did it’s job, I have a working DVD now and it’s even anamorphic. But there is one problem: The picture just doesn’t flow as softly as it should. I don’t know the exact english word to describe it, but it almost seems as if the picture has trouble keeping up with speed of the movie.
“I found another program that can convert HD to DVD, and it was a lot faster than TMPGEnc. But the problem remained. I don’t know why, maybe the source files are like that already, although they look fine on my computer. Audio and video are in sync, but the picture just doesn’t flow smoothly … it’s more like jumping, especially evident in scenes with slowly moving objects. Maybe the problem already exists in the HD file, and I just can’t see it.”
So – he turns to the experts. Any thoughts, advice, programs he’s overlooked?
Thanks in advance for all the help!
