Jerkiness in encoded mpg, how to fix?

[mikeweb]

Hey guys, I have a couple of questions regarding a movie I encoded. I have a movie in Xvid format. I extracted the audio (AC3) with VirtualDub and HeadAC3he. After I encode the movie and the wav file with TMPGEnc Pro using VBR I get jerkiness in the movie even when there aren’t fast motion scenes both on the converted mpg file as well as when I play it on my DVD player. I followed this guide http://www.vcdhelp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=119019 but I still get the same problem. I scanned the movie prior with VirtualDub for bad frames, it didn’t find any problems.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this problem?

Have you encoded the xvid with the same framerate in TMPGEnc??
If you have changed it with TMPGENc from say 23.976 to 25fps TMPGEnc
adds frames and therefore you get jerkiness. If you want to convert the framerate this is a great guide:

This is what I get when I load it in VirtualDub

It's the VBR. My DVD player won't play it properly and gives me that stuttering effect no matter what I tried. So now I use a lowered constant bitrate for making files small enough to fit on one CD (if it's a shorter movie in the 1hr30min range) or the normal NTSCfilm template for regular encoding.

Here's the thread discussing the ONE CD methods. I used the CBR version with great success.
