Poor picture quality on DVD or SvCD

[neepdocker]

Have produced some great slideshows using Picturestoexe as .exe files - great product.

In the past i have used the folder of pictures to produce some good quality DVDs and SVCDs in other products so decided to make life simpler and use Version 4.2 video feature to produce them.

The picture quality in PAL with interlacing box clicked is poor with a flickering in the picture. Surely this is not the quality I should be getting so what am I doing wrong ?

The most best DVD encoding software for using with PicturesToExe it is Ulead DVD Movie Factory and TMpegEnc Plus.

They never cause such problem.

I think described problem happens because some DVD encoding programs can't automatically recognize correct order of fields of the frames.

1) In this DVD encoding software which you've use, please try to find option for choosing "Field A first"/"Fields B first" or maybe "Top field"/"Bottom field" and change default value to another one and encode DVD again.

2) If this won't help, please make that option in its first state and close DVD encoder. Then start PicturesToExe and try to set "For Pinnacle Studio (Field A first)" option in "Create AVI video" window of PicturesToExe and produce AVI file file again. Then encode DVD.

I hope this should help.

p.s. also please let me know what DVD encoder sofrware you have.

Not sure I really understand the options. I have Ulead so will try again using that and see.

It's 'photos to CD and DVD' that i used so maybe not a good choice. At least I now realise it is me that is at fault and not Pictures to exe.
