I'm trying to make PAL Blu-ray discs with my MEP Premium 21.0.2.138. The goal is to be able to play them with my Samsung BD-player.
My current project's sources are recorded with a Panasonic camcorder. The clips are MPEG-4 1080p50. I followed John EB's tutorial and was able to make a disc, and then play it with my Samsung. But the video was slighty jerky in places where the camera was moving or where people were moving fast. The original clips look OK when I play them with my computer.
What could be the reason for jerkiness and how could it be reduced?
When I exported the original clips to Magix video (.mxv), I used the original settings (50 fps & progressive). Should I have changed those to something else (25i?)?
Before burning the disc I had plenty of options to choose, and I wasn't sure what to choose.
MPEG-2 or H.264? I chose the latter.
In the Encoder settings I chose the default setting: Blu-ray 1920x1080i PAL. So I guess the interlacion(?) was made there, and the info-box also says it changes the framerate to 25. Does it make any difference if the change from p50 to i25 is made in exporting to mxv or in Blu-ray export?
There's also a "Apply anti-interlace filter (suppresses flickering)" -box, but I didn't tick that. Mistake?
In "Advanced settings" there's also interesting choices to be made: top field first or bottom field first?
I guess the bitrates and coding qualities don't affect the jerkiness?
I would be very grateful if someone could tell me which options I should choose.
