Please can anyone help me before I abandon SVCD and go back to tape! I have captured hours of video (UK PAL) from my old archive of 8mm cassettes using a Miro DC30+ capture card. These files have been taken into Adobe Premiere and edited and then via avisynth I have used TMPgenc 2.5 to produce an SVCD mpeg 2 file which I have burnt onto CD using Nero. Where there is little or no motion, the quality is terrific (taking into account the original quality from tape). However, when there is any motion, I get wavy lines all over the image. Please could anyone advise me where the problem may lie, as I have tried numerous templates for TMPGenc from various sources, all to no avail.
Sounds like you were either working with interlaced video and forgot to de-interlace, or accidentally interlaced it when it was not interlaced before. Or (worse yet) got the field order wrong. Look up any good web discussion of interlacing and you'll see what I mean.
