Hello everyone,
As most know, I am working on a project to capture a couple dozen home videos and transfer them to DVD. I have done all the capturing and filtering I need for the video I am working on. Now I am trying to encode the video to Mpeg2 so I can author it. I am using
MainConcept Reference 2.2. The problem is that all my encodes suffer from motion distortion and jittering, especially with panning shots. I can be rather distracting none of this is present in the source. I have tried every combination of settings imaginable and I get the same results. The motion looks much less smooth than the source. There is a wavy distortion in three places when the camera moves. On some scenes it is not very noticeable. On other scenes, it is incredibly distracting.
Is there anything that can be done about this? Will I just have to live with it? I have a lot of video to encode and if they all suffer from these motion distortions, it could be quite a problem.
Thanks for all your help.
I have attached a short video documenting what I am talking about. Please help me with this.
