One of the questions I am often asked is about when and how to compress videos for encoding to DVD. While the "how" will have to wait for another post, I intend to discuss the pros and cons of compressing files prior to authoring and during authoring.

When I started this blog my intention was to come up with original content, I intend to do that but I also feel it is important to highlight great answers written by other bloggers. I dont want this site to become a pointer to other sites rest assured I will continue to comment and write my own articles. One of the most common issues I hear when it comes to editing, shooting and encoding (in fact a student here at TAFE just said "Why is this still picture flickering on the monitor) comes back to interlacing issues.
Problems present as "shimmering" still pictures, jerky or jumpy moving shots to footage that "doesn't look right". Usually it is caused by multiple software packages treating footage or stills differently or more correctly interpretting the interlaced image differently. I wont keep writing about this as a far more intelligent and eloquent blogger than myself has written an excellent page of information with diagrams etc on this subject.
