SVCD Stuttering Audio & Video

[bluebolt]

:-? Hi guys I was wondering If any of you out there can help me with a ripping problem? I have a Wharfdale 750s and have made VCD's in the past which play pretty well. So recently I started to do a couple of SVCD's which have not turned out as well. When playing back the picture quality is amazing but it tends to stutter every 5 - 10 seconds or so thus effecting the picture and audio. Maybe I am being too fussy but I have tryed lowering the video bitrate, audio bitrate, burning with Nero 5 8 8 0 @ 1x and changin a number of different settings but to no avail. I don't know why I am getting this prob because I had no probs of this nature with VCD's.

Smartripper 2.41
DVD2AVI 1.85
Using TMPGenc 2.53
Nero 5.8.8.0

Any help would be appreciated.

field order...try reversing it

Cheers for that Poopyhead I will give it a try & let you know of the outcome... Although any other suggestions from anybody appreciated.

if the audio stutters as well the problem is not specifically the field-order. what exact video/audio bitrates have you tried?

Hi Stan, In Svcd Mode the lowest bitrate I have tryed is 1800 for Video in Automatic VBR (CQ_VBR) Mode CQ = 70% and 44100 (192kbs) Audio.
Still had problems though and was unable to rectify with any of the other setting what I tryed including reversing the field order like Poopy said. Even at 1800 I was still getting stutters from Video & Audio, I don't think it can be anything to do with the bitrate because the minimum bitrate for svcd must not be much lower than this.

The source of the film is:

Interlaced/Pal/25fps/16:9

o heh..that's it...

i believe for all PAL, you need to turn forced film off in dvd2avi

Thank for your help guys!

It didn't really solve the prob though, but I tryed using DVD2SVCD and that seems to have sorted the problem with the audio out. I find DVD2DVCD a great prog but the end result even when encoded at the highest bitrate still appears blocky in scenes with fast motion. Any Ideas on that?
