Help: making graphics for TV 2004-02-27 - By Simon Lambert

Hi folks,
I seem to remember that there have been threads in the past about the best
ways to use tS to render animated graphics for use in TV idents, etc.
I've done a few experiments today with simple animations, rendered them for
PAL TV at 768x576 pixels and 25fps using odd-even interlacing and coding
straight to Divx5.1 (interlaced, upper field first) at 4Mbps. I'm running
the avi's in WMP and out of the composite video socket of my NVIDIA 440 Go
device straight into the TV. The results don't look as good (i.e. sharp,
smooth, it's difficult to describe!) as I would like (big surprise, given
that it's a first attempt), but I'm not certain how to get the optimum out
of this setup. My first reaction was to blame the video card, but good
quality images from avi's or DVD's can be seen when played in the same way.
So it seems that while this is hardly a 'pro' setup, I chiefly suspect that
my creation of tS renders is at fault.
Can any of you learned folks offer suggestions for optimum results using
the gear that I described above? As you might imagine I have no intention
of parting with cash to replace my gear at this time, but I would greatly
appreciate the benefit of your experience in getting tS6.6 and the choice
of codec to churn out the best that they are capable of.
Thanks in advance,
Simes (:-)
