I've finished my film reel, and now I have to send it to Tisch but I have a problem with the format of the file. The movie was captured on a Panasonic PV-GS320, and captured onto my computer at 720 x 480 29.97 fps. So I converted it into two files, an .avi (NTSC DV according to Sony Vegas) and a .wmv (3 mbps) as a backup. Now my issue is this: The avi version of the film is coming out in such a way that when a person moves in the frame, the image gets divided. Like strange scan lines. My question is, when the DVD get's made, or rather when I burn this on a DVD, will those lines appear? It doesn't seem to be happening in the source footage or the wmv. How can I fix this?

-Thanks
(Here's an example. It's visible on the hand)

When you make it into a DVD, it should encode to MPEG-2. They might not appear. You can try exporting to MPEG-2 then see, or burn a dvd sample it's worth it. Even if you get those lines, I don't think they care about the technicalities of your equipment/quality, they care more about the storytelling.

Hey thanks a bunch, I was kind of freaking out when I saw the combing.
