Q: burned DVD's have momentary pixelation

Hi

When I export my project from FCPX everything is perfect. When I use IDVD to add theme and chapters there is pixelation for 2 minutes on the burned DVD at the exact same spot of my project every time. Even though the source is 100% it keeps occurring and it's a critical part of the project(wedding). What is going on?

iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.2)

    Hi

     

    How did You do the Export from FCP ?

     

    I do

     

    As Quicktime - NO QT-Converstion

    And I do as SD-Video Quality - Feeding iDVD HD usually give bad result due to bad down scaling function

     

    Free Space on BOOT hard disk ? How much ?

     

    Is there a special with the material where problems arises ?

    - Photos in any other format than .jpg

    - Video Sequence - Video-CODEC and frame-rate here ?

    - Special funcyion here as "Slow Down, Anti Shake etc) ?

    - AUDIO - I only use 16-bit 48 or 44.1kHz .aiff - NO .mp3, .vma etc -

     

    Yours Bengt W

    Hello deadbutdreaming,

     

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

     

    Which encoding setting do you have iDVD set to for this project?  Changing the encoding to professional quality will result in the best quality, but will take the longest to encode, which may help in resolving this pixelation you're receiving in the end product.

    Take care,
