  1. I use TMPGenc to convert avis to svcds to view on my DVD player. I have a European TV (PAL), and although my DVD player plays both PAL and NTSC encoded SVCDs, I definitely prefer watching PAL encoded SVCDs.

    The frame rate of the AVIs I encode are usually 23 f/s, and when I convert them to SVCD PAL 25 f/s the motion freezes for a very short period happening in short intervals which is very annoying and spoiling the movie.

    Is there anyway to avoid this? Or is it impossible to convert a 23 f/s AVI to a 25 f/s SVCD?

    I am sure this has been addressed somewhere, but could somebody please help or direct me to a place where I can find info on this topic.

    THANKS...

    The only reason I can see that you would prefer pal over ntsc would be because you are used to regular ntsc at 29.97fps and the %20 drop in quality it yields due to the increase in frames. If you simply encode in 23.976fps and include the 3:2 pulldown it will playback at 29.97fps but you will not lose that %20 in quality, since you still only had to encode 23.976fps. If you can see a difference between an ntscfilm (23.976fps) SVCD and a Pal SVCD than you are truly a superman because I don't think its possible. So my suggestion is to just keep it at 23.976 ntscfilm.

    If you do want to encode to pal than you cannot use TMPGenc. Whenever TMPGenc increases or decreases framerate it either duplicates or decimates frames to make up the difference. This is why the playback appears jerky.

    Probably the easiest way to convert ntscfilm to pal is to use Virtual Dub. Just load your video and in the framerate filter set it to pal. You can then frameserve to TMPGenc, just read the guide on this site. Now since you are speeding up the video you must also speed up the audio otherwise it will desync. The easiest way to do this is to just encode your audio and video together. You may wish to just use a separate wav editor instead though so just increase the playback speed by %4.03. When you speed up audio it also raises the pitch so you may or may not wish to offset this by lowering the pitch, again by %4.03.
