<HTML><BODY style="word-wrap: break-word; -khtml-nbsp-mode: space; -khtml-line-break: after-white-space; "><DIV>I've just finished y first large project in FCE 3.5 (1.5 hour video) and iDVD 6 and also had some problem with pixelation in certain moving sections. The fix that seemed to work for me was having iDVD encoding to a relatively empty Hard Disk (avoiding chances of disk access interrupting the encoding process) and saving as an IMG file rather than burning directly to DVD. Then I burned the IMG file to HD later.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>At least this seemed to work for me - of course it could have been something else completely. </DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><BR><DIV><DIV>On 14-Oct-06, at 8:54 PM, <A href="mailto:macdv-request@listserver.themacintoshguy.com">macdv-request@listserver.themacintoshguy.com</A> wrote:</DIV><BR class="Apple-interchange-newline"><BLOCKQUOTE type="cite"><P style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px"><FONT face="Helvetica" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica">Message: 10</FONT></P> <P style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px"><FONT face="Helvetica" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica">Date: Sat, 14 Oct 2006 17:53:39 -0700</FONT></P> <P style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px"><FONT face="Helvetica" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica">From: "aaron robinsun" <<A href="mailto:aaronrobinsonproducer@hotmail.com">aaronrobinsonproducer@hotmail.com</A>></FONT></P> <P style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px"><FONT face="Helvetica" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica">Subject: Re: [MacDV] Final Cut Express Problem</FONT></P> <P style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px"><FONT face="Helvetica" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica">To: <A href="mailto:macdv@listserver.themacintoshguy.com">macdv@listserver.themacintoshguy.com</A></FONT></P> <P style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px"><FONT face="Helvetica" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica">Message-ID: <<A href="mailto:BAY111-F33E32E62DCCABE66F29A7DBE080@phx.gbl">BAY111-F33E32E62DCCABE66F29A7DBE080@phx.gbl</A>></FONT></P> <P style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px"><FONT face="Helvetica" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica">Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed</FONT></P> <P style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica; min-height: 14.0px"><BR></P> <P style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px"><FONT face="Helvetica" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica">Everything looked good, even the preview on iDVD.<SPAN class="Apple-converted-space"> </SPAN>It looked pixeled when i<SPAN class="Apple-converted-space"> </SPAN></FONT></P> <P style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px"><FONT face="Helvetica" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica">played the dvd on my computer and other dvd players.<SPAN class="Apple-converted-space"> </SPAN>And i dont think the<SPAN class="Apple-converted-space"> </SPAN></FONT></P> <P style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px"><FONT face="Helvetica" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica">problem is the DVD because i used two different brands of DVD-R</FONT></P> </BLOCKQUOTE></DIV><BR></BODY></HTML>
