    Lo fellas.

    As a complete nooobie , I hope this ain't a stupid question.

    I've took a DivX film and burned it onto 1 VCD using Nero 5.5 (letting Nero do the MPEG encoding with standard settings) and the results are pretty good.

    ....Except, every few seconds there is a noticeable pause.

    What are the most likely causes? Any guidance gratefully received.

    Hopefully, asking here is better than trial and error, but I'll do that if I have to

  3. Hi Mr Grumpy,

    You are probably converting a NTSC based Divx to a PAL VCD,

    there is a difference in framerate that cuases the little pauses

    PAL has more frames / second than NTSC Therefore the same frame is beeing used --> result a little pause.

    Let me hear if this is the case..

  4. Mr Grumpy,

    I forgot to tell you that you should convert to NTSC VCD
    (with TMPEG works fine). and burn it with Nero on a CD.

    But first tell me the exact framerate, because there are 3
    different kinds of framerates. You can find out using Virtualdub
    and look at the properties of the file.

    Greeting,

    Borgster

    I always have problems when writing with Nero, so I switched to NTI CD Maker Pro 2000, and got much better results

    Thanks Borgster.

    I don't know if the original is NTSC or not - I <ahem> found the AVI ;)

    I am trying to create a PAL though.

    I've run the DivX through VirtualDub and this is what it says:

    Frame size 720x416, FPS 25.0, ms per frame 40000ms

    This tell you anything?

    Thanks again for your input.

  7. Mr Grumpy,

    Yes, 25 fps means you're having a PAL based file, Therefore you should
    use the PAL template.

    Have you tried to use TMPGEnc yet? , There you can select a PAL (and all other ) template. After conversion to MPEG-1 (VCD) you can burn with
    NERO. ( I find the TMPGEnc much better than NERO's way of converting)

    See the VCD pages on this site for the differences between the several
    formats.

    Greetings,

    Borgster
