Hi, I have recently been trying to rip Loser from Dvd to SVCD, and have ran into a prob so I was wondering If any one could assist.

The source info in dvd2avi said it was 16:9, Pal, Interlaced as with many other Dvds that I have ripped succesfully. The troble is when I come to encode this using any of the interlace settings I am getting Ghost like interlaced effect around moving people objects etc. on the final output. This happens whilst playing mpeg on cpu through powerdvd and on my stand alone too. I have not got a clue to why this is happening as I have ripped a number of dvds before without this prob.

Only last week I did 51st state which the source was exactly the same as this one I am working on now, and I used the same settings without any probs. The method I have been using is:

Smartripper,

DVD2avi,

Tmpg to make project file (.tpr)

Vfapi conv,

CCE 2.5 to encode pseudo avi file.

All the above worked fine with 51st state and I even tryed just using Tmpg to encode a small portion of the film, But still getting the same result.

Could anybody tell me the right way to transfer this movie onto Svcd with the above source settings so that I can prevent this fro happening.

With Thanks.
