I have been using Ulead VideoStudio 7 to capture video from a Sony DV camcorder, directly to Mpeg 2 format. I can then edit as a Mpeg 2 and burn as a DVD. The software seams pretty cool, but the video is all choppy.
During playback, the video jumps and pauses. Maybe it plays for about .5 second and then skips .1 second. Both audio and video are affected. At first, I thought it was skipping frames at capture but they are all there when I played frame by frame. The video also becomes pixilated at times.
I figured that there is too much data being moved around at one point or another and some is getting lost. I have tried changing the settings to allow some reduction in quality hoping to smooth things out, but have been unable to find the optimal settings.
Any thoughts? How do you get good quality DVDs from DV tape?
