[Woohsaa]

Hi there,

If you are in UK or most of Europe Most stuff will happily play back NTSC DVDs , It's the region code that may be your problem. If you live elsewhere in the world I don't know.

If you make a backup of your DVDs with say DVD Shrink or DVD Decrypter the region code will be removed automatically.

Well im not from UK, and i tried using DVD Decrypter, but with no luck the picture is still "jumping"..

btw, thanx for your awnser.. but what to do ??? there MUST be a way to do this.. pretty please..

Best reguards..

Framerate conversion , which is what you are asking for , it is not the easiest of things to do. Have a look HERE while you await replies.

Well , still have the prob

But can i then rip the dvd (Just the movie) with subtitles on, to an divx, and then after, while i have the subtitles on the video convert it, cause i know how to convert at divx ntsc to pal, just not DVD ntsc to pal.

Or is it not possible to convert a dvd WITH subtitles ON the video, and not as an external file???

Help help help..

Cheers

the version of vdub capable of handling mpeg2 can put in the subs and frameserve at 25fps to TMPGenc - but these will be hard subs, can't turn them off. if that's acceptable then that is probably the easiest way - there are PLENTY of NTSC to PAL and vice versa threads to read.

Well i have no problem at all any more converting a NTSC to PAL, easy! just cant find a way to "rip" the dvd to an uncompressed avi ? forget the subtitles!!!

Is that what u just said ? sory my english.

Well so thats my last problem - to convert the DVD to an uncompressed AVI ?

Can i maybe use DVD Shrink and get an AVI (uncompressed) as output ?

[flaninacupboard]

why do you need an uncompressed AVI? DVD2AVI can do it for you though.

I have just had a similar problem.

I have been trying to get useable mpgs from a NTSC 29.97fps DVD (a cameraman friend's showreel, so no region encoding or encryption), with no luck,

after trying the various guides I still had no luck. The TMPGEnc framerate conversion still gave jumpy video.

I finally got it done this way:-

Used VDub MPEG-2 to rip uncompressed AVI files

Then I used goCCE and CCE SP Trial http://www.cinemacraft.com/eng/download.html

open goCCE select your AVI file, select PAL as TV type, hit encode and it open CCE SP which gives you a M2V (mpg) file and a WAV file at 25fps 720 x 576

I did try using VDub as a frame server, which goCCE accepted, but the result was a 29.97 fps file that tMPGENC DVDAuthor rejected.

seems to work fine for me.

If its still jumpy you may need to adjust your field order. try a test clip using the opposite field oder to see if that fixes the 'jumpy' video.

Try Ace Video Workshop. It does NTSC to Pal and vice versa.
