Lines (telecine?) in TMPGenc

Hi,

I have a dvd rip converted to d2v with DVD2AVI which is loaded up to TMPGENC. At some points when scrolling through the video i see clear horizontal lines which i am told are telecined. I believe the source maybe PAL whcih may be the cause of the problem, since the source is a UK DVD.
So my questions are:

1) How to get info about framerate/telecine/type/etc from a VOB, IFO or D2V file?
2) Will these lines appear after reencoding for SVCD with TMPGENC on DVD standalone or PC?
3) If so, what should i do about it?

Many thanks in advance.

If playback is on a TV, you will not notice the lines at all. To be sure, encode a small sample to rewiteable disk. It will not take much time, and you will have your answer for certain.

If the source is PAL then the video is interlaced. Question: are you trying to convert the video to NTSC? If you live in a PAL country and the source is PAL, then don't worry about it if you're encoding to MPEG2 (if MPEG1 you'll want to de-interlace).

You seem to be confusing teleciding with interlaced. They are related but not the same:

hi...

thanks, i checked the DVD source with DVtool and it returns NTSC @ 29.97fps (with macrovision if thats at all relevant? [but i think that was sorted by SmartRipper...). And at a resolution of 4:3
it will end up being an NTSC MPEG-2, since that is the dvd player i will be using...
i will encode a little to CDRW in any case just to check.

thanks again.

p.s. : the thing i dint follow is the differeenc between 3:2 pulldown, 2:2 pulldown and the pulldown flag?

The way i check if its teclined is I open it in TMPGenc and goto the source range setting, and start clicking the '>' button if I have 3 normal frames and the 2 frames w/ the lines in it, then yes it is.

Take the time and learn AVISynth, its really great at removing those and keeping the encoding time down.
