Discovering frame rate on DVD

[brendt]

Going through Sefy's wonderful "Classical" guide, and at what point, it reads:

Step 1d - This is an Optional Step! - Some movies may come in the Film format which is 23.976 fps instead of the regular NTSC 29.976, so you might want to enable the Force Film feature of DVD2AVI.....

How do I find that out (whether it's Film or NTSC)?

Take your pick. Most any video application has the 'File Properties' menu item. Generally this tells the information about that video file and usually the framerate. One such program is Ulead VideoStudio, you just right click a video file and choose properties. VirtualDub, you load the file then click File and File Information. The framerate is displayed.

AviCodec is a good program expecially if you use Windows Explorer. It installs itself to your right click mouse button and is very handy.

Good luck.

I believe that DVD2AVI will tell you if you load the ripped VOB's or files and run PREVIEW from the OPTIONS menu. Just look at the MOVIE TYPE in the STATISTICS box as the preview runs.

@brendt, as was said, when you use DVD2AVI to create the D2V/WAV files, it has an information screen, you can see there what FPS your movie is in

I have the same issue. From what I know film is 23.976fps, NTSC 29.97, but when I run preview on DVD2AVI it says:

FRAMERATE: 29.97fps
VIDEO TYPE: FILM 97%

so this is NTSC (being 29)? or film?
