Re: jerky motion on DVD

Sounds like there is a field order mismatch - your m4v is progressive, hence no field order, no jerky stuff.

The FX1 shoots HDV, which is upper field first, while DVD is lower field first.

Re: DVD Editing Information

Try changing the file extension .vob to .mpeg.

If that doesn't work, us MPEG Streamclip - open the DVD, then go to File > Save as MPEG.

Re: How do the studios do their DVD's

60i means 60 HALF frames; when combined through the process called deinterlacing, the two half fields produce ONE FRAME.

60/2=30 - 60i deinterlaced produces 30P.
