Converting NTSC DVD's

[Dankriss]

Ok here is the problem...

When I convert my NTSC DVD's into mkv the picture judders now I have 2 compressions on my software difference being the kbps speeds...now should I be using the slower one for NTSC and the higher one for PAL?

I do know when going to mpeg I use the correct one for the original DVD and that is easy to see because the software guys have very nicely marked them as such now with the mkv they don't.

Any help on converting would be lovely...only one thing treat me as very stupid as learning as I go along...

Oh I am using AVS at the moment but I do have Nero 10 but find that Nero 10 works when it wants to!

Thanks in advance guys

MKV is a container.

Download the free software gspot or mediainfo. Start the program and open the file in question. It will tell you what the video and audio codecs are.

Use Handbrake to convert to MKV, it will output the same framerate and interlace as the source which will reduce judder.

Use Handbrake to convert to MKV, it will output the same framerate and interlace as the source which will reduce judder.

Handbrake doesn't directly support interlaced encoding. If you let it encode progressive the file you get may or may not judder or show comb artifacts depending on whether the player is sending the video to an native interlaced output (composite, s-video, interlaced component) and which field order it decides to send it. You can properly encode the video as interlaced with the correct field order to make sure it always plays back properly by manually adding the interlaced flag to the x264 command line:

Well thanks to the first link I have now found out the info I need to know and how to get it easily which was half of the problem....and I am very lucky as AVS does the original frame rate when converting you guys should really have a look at their software all of it is damn good and a damn good one off price as well...

Nero is good but for simplicity I do like AVS and all I can say is thank god I have both so I can choose between the two....

Thanks guys for all of your help!
