Hi Everybody.
I want to make a PAL DVD from my MPEG-4 videos. What is the best way to get a good quality PAL video from a MPEG-4 video.
I am pretty new at this conversion subject. I have ProCoder3, but all my efforts ended up with low quality PAL video. Am I using the wrong settings? Should I use another method?
Thank you.

are you sure you need a PAL dvd ? Most PAL spec players play NTSC material
Assuming your material really is 29.97p , there is no "nice" way of converting 29.97p => 25p . You drop frames because a simple slowdown is too large and noticeable. This is choppy.
For film material 23.976p => 25p , you can do a simple speedup (incl. audio) , because the difference is smaller. This is what is normally done. This will play back smooth because no frame drops or insertionsLast edited by poisondeathray; 26th Jul 2010 at 20:33.

Well the DVD will be distributed to many people. So people will watch it on different DVD players. As far as I know not every PAL DVD player does a good job converting the video from NTSC. That is why I want to take care of that issue.
I used MediaInfo to look at the properties of my videos. They look like they are 29.97 fps. -
Yeah, but as pdf said, if the 'real' framerate is 23.976fps, it can be done properly. If it's really 29.97fps then you're always going to have missing frames (or a blurry mess). The way you can tell which you have is by advancing frame-by-frame and seeing if there's a duplicate frame in every 5. If there is, that would mean it's film-based and it can be converted to 25fps properly. Otherwise, if you insist on making a PAL DVD out of it, you're screwed.

It looks like my video is 29.97. I have checked 5 frames in Premiere Pro. None look the same. They all are advancing frames.
Somebody must have solved this problem. -
