Here are the specifics before I ask my question...
GSPOT:

4CC = xvid
Runtime = 2:03:48

Bitrate = 627kb/s
FPS = 23.97
ffmpeg:

DC component precisison=10 bits
Motion Search=fast
Here is my question... How should I set this up in TMPGenc Plus? I achieved the settings above after lokking at some of the guides. Currently I have two problems.
1. I cannot come up with any type of standard aspect ratio given 624x256(2.44:1). What should be used?
2. GSPOT showed a fps of 23.976 so I used that during my twelve hour encode. When I tried to open the .MV2 file in TMPGenc Author it yelled and said 23.976 is not a valid DVD frame rate.
Could somebody please help me tweak my settings so I can play as a standard DVD in a stand alone player. I don't mind the time it takes to come up with a great end result but waiting 12 hours to find out the fps is non-standard is a heartbreaker. I guess that's why I'm a newbie.
Thanx in advance!

Try these.
Set it to 4:3 unless you actually HAVE a widescreen TV.
On the advanced tab, set source to 16:9, keep aspect ratio 2.

Thanx REBOOT,
Under the Advanced tab, what should...
Video Source type
Source aspect ratio
video arrange method
be set to?
I do have an HDTV. I guess the only difference between setting video aspect ratio from 16:9 to 4:3 will be time and appearance? -
Video source interlaced.
Bottom Field first.
Source aspect 16:9 NTSC 525 line.
Video arrange, keep aspect ratio 2.
If you want it full screen on your HDTV widescreen (true 16:9) then on the screen shot above, just change aspect ratio from 4:3 to 16:9
If it's truly widescreen, then it will appear fullscreen if you set it to 16:9 on both tmpgenc screens. If you set source to 16:9 and aspect to 4:3, then it should appear letterboxed (black bars on either side) on your widescreen, but it will appear normal on a normal 4:3 TV.Cheers, Jim

Setting should be
Source Aspect Ratio=1:1
Video Arrange Method=Full Screen (keep aspect ratio)
your other settings look ok, you made a simple mistake with AR's
