mkv to dvd camera judder on pan

[paulh129]

i have converted a mkv file to dvd with convertxtodvd when i play the dvd on my standalone dvd player the picture judders slightley when panning or zooming. I have played the mkv file on my computer and its fine. please could someone tell me where i am going wrong. Thanks in advance

[Baldrick]

please give more info!

What is the mkv framerate? Identify using mediainfo.
What did you convert, pal or ntsc?
Does the dvd play stutter on your computer with a software dvd player?
Have you tried convert with something else like the FREE dvd flick or avstodvd?

Thanks for the reply. the framerate is 29.970 fps. I converted it to pal. It plays fine on my software player on my computer ( vlc media player ) I havnt tried and other converters, what is the best one to use? would dvd fab do this?

[Baldrick]

Try instead convert to ntsc. Most dvd players supports both system.

Will this still play without any problems or damage to my player? as i am on region 2

[Baldrick]

PAL and NTSC has nothing to do with region coding. And you are making a region free dvd so it wont affect any region settings.

Thanks baldrick for all the info i will try that.

I tried converting as ntsc but it still juddered on panning, what program do you recamend to convert it?

[guns1inger]

Make sure that when it converted to NTSC it converted to 29.920 fps NTSC, and not 23.976 fps NTSC. I would use AVStoDVD for this.

Thanks guns1inger i have just tried avstodvd and it crashed my computer. is there another way of doing it?

[guns1inger]

Crashed it how ? Never seen it do that, and I have installed and run it on many systems. You could try FAVC or ConvertXtoDVD, but it sounds like you have system issues to deal with first.

This is the only program to do this i am running windows 7 64 bit and maybe it wont work with this. the computer just switches off without warning i have tried a few movie files but all do the same. will try favc i have used convertxtodvd this gave me the origional problem.

This sounds like hardware issues, like bad psu or motherboard, or overheating

Some computer virus can cause this as well
