I'm at my wit's end over this. I just can't trace the problem :-(
What I want to do is transfer VHS video into my computer, then burn a DVD. I've done it before with good results (maybe two or three months ago). Now, iDVD produces video that appears to be about 15 fps real jerky and not of good quality. Here is my process:
RCA jack > Canopus 110 > firewire into iMovie '08 (video to a dedicated partition on an early 2008 iMac) > send project to Media Browser at "high" setting > burn project in iDVD.
The results? Terrible! But as I've said, it has worked in the past. Even stranger, video that I import into iMovie from my new Canon Vixia HF10 also now produces jerky video when output to iDVD. I'm totally scratching my head here.
To confuse matters more, the poor-quality video persists even after upgrading to a 1TB internal hard drive (with lots of space for iMovie to read / write / render, what have you.
Is anyone else experiencing this problem or have an idea as to what might be happening? I've got iDVD set to NTSC, Professional quality rendering, etc., etc. I just don't get it and I need to solve this situation quick as I have several projects backing up.
Much appreciation,
David
