To Film or NOT to Film, That is the question

[Batfink]

I realise that when ripping a Film 23.976 movie you set DVD2avi to Forced Film and then encode it with 3.2 Pulldown when playback, But what is with the Chunks of NTSC that i seem to find quite common in FILM movies and Episode disks
I'm ripping Deep Space Nine right now and the episode i've just ripped is 84.53% film, This means 15% of that show is NTSC.

So when i encode it as film, the parts that are film playback fine, but when it hits a bit thats NTSC it goes jerky.

Now 15% means it doesnt happen to often, you might get a 5 second scene here and there that doesnt flow properly..

How do they manage to get chunks of NTSC in there, and WHY do they do it. Is there any way to tell TMPGenc to know when its hit an NTSC chunk and encode it as NTSC

There is an option in TMPGenc under advanced for "Inverse Telecine". It comes in handy when dealing with interlaced video. The process is SLOW but it should correct your issue.

What you have is an infamous "hybrid". These are very difficult to do properly, because they DO mix film with NTSC video. My advice to you would be to NOT use FORCE FILM, and just re-encode as interlaced. Your other option is to separate out the NTSC from the FILM, and encode both separately, then "re-join" - not the easiest thing nor the "funnest" to do.

Most DVDs of TV sci-fi episodes (which have CGI in them) are hybrids. All the Star Trek episodes are hybrids.

You could use DVD2SVCD.org the new version now work's with TMPG also encode's DVD also

I've seen a few discs like that.

I was unaware of it at the time, but during playback... all of a sudden POW it's running really jerky for a minute, then better for a few, then...

Ripped it apart and LO AND BEHOLD... grr...
