Hi,

I'm trying for quite some time to get a decent output on DVD for my
small movie.

Until now, I've not been very successful.

So, I'm now asking you for help, hoping for some solution.

I posted a test for you to see my problem.

In http://animation.altespace.org/tmp/demonstration/images/ is the set
of 25 images I started from to generate a 1s movie with cinelerra.

The cinelerra code is
http://animation.altespace.org/tmp/demonstration/simpletest.xml

To render, I did exactly what's in the doc:
created a small script containg:
#!/bin/bash
mpeg2enc -v 0 -K tmpgenc -r 16 -4 1 -2 1 -D 10 -E 10 -g 15 -G 15 -q 6 -b
8600 -f 8 -o $1

And calling it as suggested.

This created a movie:
http://animation.altespace.org/tmp/demonstration/atest.m2v

I used mplayer to extract frames from it (mplayer -frames  25 -vo png
atest.m2v).

I put the output in
http://animation.altespace.org/tmp/demonstration/extracted/.

I'm pretty annoyed by the almost complete disapearance of texture in the
encoded video. The quality is incredibly lower. I know DVD is not that
good, but I'm sure I saw better!

For example, compare top left corner textures for
http://animation.altespace.org/tmp/demonstration/extracted/00000024.png
and
http://animation.altespace.org/tmp/demonstration/images/sequence-0105.tga

In the original image, one can see a light but obvious shade of grey
texturing the white surface. Once rendered, it's almost completly white,
no texture is visible.

This is of course only a small example of what I could see in my whole
movie.

Can it been done better? Even when leaving DVD formats (avi or whatever)
I couldnt got anything significantly better...

Should I accept that DVD quality is unable to restitute such a shading?
Is there something I missed? Is there a better encoder?

Thanks for any help.
