sync from 23.978 fps

[AlanHK]

I've got one AVI TV rip that GSpot tells me has a framerate of 23.978. And that's not a typo, it's NOT 23.976.

When I play the AVI on my PC, it's fine.
When I encode it for DVD, the result is slightly out of sync.
(Method: audio: Besweet from AVI file; video via HCEnc and an AVS script, with 2:3 pulldown; this works fine for other files with 23.976.)

Is there a way (in aviscript?) to make this a more conventional 23.976?
Or should I just adjust the sound: if so, how?

What does the resulting avs script look like that is generated by aviscript? (Post it!)

Ah, I didn't know "Aviscript" was an app. I thought it meant the language itself.
Actually, I used FitCD to gnerate the initial script, but that just concerned scaling the image:

AVISource("302.avi")
LanczosResize(720,368,0,1,624,350)
AddBorders(0,56,0,56)

But I'll have a look at this Aviscript app anyway.

Hi-

Sure:

AssumeFPS(23.976)

Applying 3:2 pulldown accomplished the same thing. That's why your audio went out of synch. To get it back in synch, you'll have to slow the audio by a little bit.

Or should I just adjust the sound: if so, how?

My suggestion is not to tamper with either the audio or the video. When done encoding use DGPulldown with the Custom box ticked and 23.978->29.97 filled in. That will be very slightly different than standard 3:2 pulldown, but will keep the synch. You can even take the M2V that you already ran through 3:2 pulldown and do it over again in DGPulldown. That is, you won't have to encode again.

I couldn't see how to undo the pulldown with DGPulldown; I found DoPulldown to do that; then DGpulldown to do a custom pulldown. The result chokes some media players, but works in the actual DVD.
Is there a simple way to undo a pulldown?

[Mr_Odwin]

You just overwrite the old one with DGPulldown - no need to undo the first one.
