load the dvd into power dvd. Then when it is playing right click on the window then click on configuration then go to information and the framerate is displayed there.
hope this helps

you could also use bitrate viewer

If you use DVD2AVI, the display will show you
whether it is flim or NTSC.

I'm assuming you obtained this dvd in the same country where you live so...If you live in a PAL region than your fps is 25. If you live in an ntsc region that the playback fps of your dvd is 29.97fps but it is most likely stored as 23.976fps. To find out what format your country uses look here, www.video-conversion.com/formats

The best way to rip and encode from an ntsc dvd is to use dvd2avi and preview the vobs. Let it get past the opening credits and if it says %95 film or higher or just says film (almost all ntsc dvds do) then enable forced film. This will export the video as 23.976fps. Encode at 23.976fps and if you are making a SVCD or DVD insert the 3:2 pulldown flags. TMPGenc can do this during encoding using the "3:2 pulldown when playback" or you can add it later using pulldown.exe. If you are making a VCD just encode and author as normal.

The resulting disk will be stored as 23.976fps but will playback at 29.97fps just like the DVD does. Not only does this grant you a %20 increase in quality but it also illiminates many of the problems inherant with interlaced footage, which you will have if you keep your source at 29.97fps.

im on NTSC region, my movie are 29,97fps but it encoded 23,97 on the DVD.

thanks for the info.

ps. if i made a svcd is it so important to made a 3:2 pull down? because my DVD support xsvcd and i can playing a ntsc at 23,97 if i want. you saying is i made a 3:2 pulldown the movie will play at 29,97 but it encoded at 23,97????

i have encoded the movie at 23,97 is it possible to do a 3:2 pulldown with the software pulldown.exe after encoding?
im using DVDX 2.0


the link for: www.video-conversion.com working only without the \formats

The 3:2 pulldown is a flag which instructs the dvd player to do a real time telecine which converts the 23.976fps movie to 29.97fps. Many dvd players will auto telecine any 23.976fps material, making the 3:2 pulldown flag redundant. However, you should still always include this flag since it will not hurt anything and will ensure that your SVCD will properly play on all svcd compatible dvd players. Just because your current dvd player doesnt require the pulldown flag that doesnt mean the next player you purchase will be as forgiving.

In any case, if you are using a non-HDTV ntsc tv then anything you play on it will run at 29.97fps. Whether or not your hardware can probably display your source at this speed depends on how you encoded it, so play it safe and always use the 3:2 pulldown flag for SVCDs. Yes your SVCD is encoded at 23.976fps and it is played back at 29.97fps which the ntsc standard requires. The dvd player extrapolates additional frames from the existing frames to increase the framerate.

Yes you can still add the pulldown flags to the mpg after encoding. You can just drag and drop the mpg over the .exe file, which will export a new file at c:\ or you can get the gui.
