HUFFY Problems + DVD format on CDR?

[RipperX]

Hi guys,

I'm editing with dvd source in Premiere using teh avs method. Whenever I try to export using Huffy , sometime like these yellow + red + green lines appear sometime taking over teh entire frame or just a bit. Below is a snapshot of it:

Is there a way to fix this? I tried a few different settings in the huffy codec options but it happens in one form or another. This is a really big problem ever since I started using huffy, so I have no idea why.

Also, I'm wondering if I can convert a uncompressed avi of dvd quality and convert it to a dvd format, then burn them on a cdr so that I can watch it on my dvd player, anyone know? If it's possible what's the best programs to converting straight to dvd format? The reason I'm doing this is because I just wanna see if I can get the dvd quality on a cdr, instead of having to encode down to a SVCD or VCD format.

Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure about your huffyuv problem. Try converting the clip to uncompressed and see if the problem goes away, if it does try reinstalling huffyuv.

As for the second problem, yes, you can do such a thing. You'll need to actually have DVD Authoring software or be very very good with IFOEdit (get it froom Doom9). The only problem is you won't be able to play it on 99% of DVD players in the world.

DVDs have bitrates of up to 9MBit/sec, or almost 8x higher than that of a standard CD. Usually DVD players will have a DVD-ROM drive that will read CDs at 1x (so they can play VCDs and AudioCDs) or 2x (so they can play SVCDs), but almost none of them will be able to handle that kind of bitrate. Plus, the vast majority of them, even if the drives could read fast enough, do not support MiniDVDs (which is what burning DVDs to CDR is called).

The standalone player database at http://www.vcdhelp.com has listings for which players are reported to support miniDVDs, but I've found a lot of their reporting to be inaccurate, as it's just a database of reports from various users. Take it with a grain of salt, but just for reference only 10% of players in the entire database show up on a search for miniDVD support, and I'll bet you half of them don't actually work as posted.

No wonder. I exported it uncompressed from premiere and it worked fine. I've had this problem withthe weird colored lines with huffy like forever, I dont know if there's anyway to fix it. Anyway, i used tmpgenc dvd option to convert the uncompressed file to a dvd format. I then burned it on a cdr and tried it on my dvd player. And it was like skipping all over the place. I guess you can't do it then.
