NTSC DVD2SVCD problem...pulldown ?

[waldok]

I have a strange problem here. I've been using the "all in one" solution called DVD2SVCD for PAL DVD to SVCD conversion without any problem. But now I tried it on a NTSC movie I own (Swordfish to be precise) and I keep getting weird problems.
It just looks like in fast scenes there is some kind of "wrong field order" in some visible blocks on the picture. I thought about a pulldown problem with the famous 23.975 vs 29.97 fps issue.
I'm playing the SVCD on a multistandard TV set (NTSC is ok) and I just can't figure out how to solve the problem.
The DVD2SVCD software allows me to check.uncheck an option called "NTSC Force film" but I tried both and it gives the same result. I noticed that DVD2AVI gives a 23.976 frame rate so I guessed I had to enable pulldown in DVD2SVCD, but result is not better.

Can somebody help me please ? I really can't figure it out and it takes so much time trying all possible combinations, encoding, burning (even on small movie pieces).

Thanks a lot in advance.

I'm very disappointed that my post is the only one in the last two days which didn't get any answer...
Doesn't anybody know some answers to my problem ?

I don't use the DVD2SVCD product, but I do the equivalent thing manually - for NTSC, almost always use DVD2AVI with Force Film. If you don't use Force Film, then you want to Inverse Telecine with TMPGEnc before encoding. After encoding, run pulldown on the mpv file, then multiple with the sound (I don't let CCE do my sound encoding).

However, the above is to encode an NTSC DVD. From your description, you're ripping a PAL DVD to an NTSC SVCD. I don't think this can be easily done by DVD2SVCD. You need to slow down the video and the audio - There are a number of ways to do this, using either AviSynth or VirtualDub.

Once you've slowed it down from 25 fps to 23.976 fps, then apply the pulldown.

THanx Vidguy for your help.
This works now. I use force film and then pulldown on the video file after CCE encoded (I too don't let CCE encode sound).

It seems I was not perfectly clear, but I was trying to rip a NTSC DVD to NTSC SVCD (never had any problems with pal, ane no need for NTSC<-> PAL transocding thanx to my multistandard TV set).
So now everything works great, I'm a happy man

THanx again for your help.
