If you have choppy playback bc of framerate, read this

I finally have solved the riddle of choppy playback in standalone players. If it is a framerate issue, no need to create separate streams with muxing, remuxing, and trying to adjust audio length in the end. WinAVI will let you recode any avi to another avi if you choose, or you can encode it to mpeg. The kicker is that it allows for framerate adjustment without muxing and the audio comes out in sync! And, it's not picky about audio formats like Virtualdubmod.

It is also a second rate encoder, quality wise, prone to creating non-compliant output and crashing. Every second update results in unexpected crashes. The final straw, their support is so poor that instead of offering real assistance, they simply send people here. The irony, when they com here, we tell them that WinAVI is a POS and shouldn't be used.

ConvertXtoDVD can do the same thing, better and more reliably, if your target is DVD. Otherwise AutoGK or AVIRecomp for avi output (both free)

good stuff, you are right, it looks like a VHS. I'll check the encoders you recommend.

Personally, if going to DVD I would use FitCD, avisynth, some filters and ProCoder or CCE, with ffmpeggui for converting the audio.
