23.976fps mpeg-1. Is there anything I can do?

[scottymac]

Recently got a movie that's mpeg-1 352x240 and 23.976 frames per second. But it's really jerky on my DVD player. And I know that my DVD player can handle NTSC film format, so it must be the actual movie (I checked this in windows media player and yes it is jerky) I'm thinking that it was 29.976 frames per second originally as DVD, but it was encoded @ 23.976 for VCD.

Is there anything I can do? Run pulldown.exe? Re-encode with TMPEG (pulldown)? Or toss the jerky thing in the trash?

appreciate the help.

Trash it. Whoever made the MPEG1 file messed up, and any re-encoding you try to do may improve the jerkiness but picture quality will suffer since you'll be compressing an already compressed source.
