TMPGEnc Settings Change

[Anonymoususer]

I was converting an AVI to Mpeg2 XSVCD....I was using the TMPGEnc NTSC Film Template unlocked it and changed some settings around. To squeeze in more Video Bitrate I changed the Audio settings from 41,000 KHZ to 48,000KHZ, Stereo to Joint Stereo, and 224KB/s 192 KB/s...The movie came out pretty good..but my question is that could changing the settings around make the Mpeg jerky or messed up because everytime I burn it, it comes out jerky...it plays fine on my PC...it's not the media or my DVD Player...anyone got any info please tell me...I've used Nero 5.5+ and VCDEasy...both of them are having problems burning...

Sounds like your bitrate is too high. If your dvd rive cant read the disk fast enough, jerkiness will occour.

Know as well, 48,000 is not standard for svcd, and while it works on your currrent player, it may not work on a future player, or a friends player.

try the same movie done at svcd standard max bitrate, 2520 or below, (For testing) and see if it plays fine. ) if yous till want higher bitrate than 2520 you will need to test to see how high your player can handle it.

Im pretty sure it can handle more than 2520 Bitrate because I remember making a movie at 2520+Bitrate and it played fine...I used the same exact settings I mentioned for the Audio and raised the Video Bitrate high..but that was an Anime movie and this is a live actione movie..could that be the difference..?

3:2 pulldown when playback is used when you have a FILM source movie (23.976fps) to leave it 23.976 but have your decoder play it back at 29.976fps (works great for ripping DVDs). When 3:2 pulldown is used it does this.. It takes four sequential video frames (A, B, C, D) from the FILM and are drawn on the video display as A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2, D1, D2, where the 1 or 2 represents the field number within the frame.

Make sure that you use 3:2 pulldown when playback as you're using the SuperVideoCD (NTSCFilm) Template which requires this.

Hope That Helps!!! :P

So everytime I make an XSVCD I have to use the 3:2 Pulldown...because I was encoding a "movie" and encoded 30 Minutes of it and came out pretty bad, because everytime their was a high action scene the picture would have these weird white lines...lately Im having very complicated encoding aswell as burning problems that I haven't had since I started encoding....Im gonna reformatt my entire Hardrive and see from their this sucks man...

Only use 3:2 pulldown when playback when your source framerate is 23.976fps.

Just reformatted my Hardrive and found out that my 450MHZ Processor is not good enough to play high quality .AVI files even if I have the right codecs...I can still encode though and watch it on the BigScreen...oh well...

Thanks for the 3:2 Pulldown tip though...

Wow, this could be the holy grail..... Been using TMPGENC for ages now and have noticed slight jerkyness on my xvcd's from original 23.976 sources..... Althought 29.97 and 25 fps play perfect,

I even bought a new dvd player (pioneer dv350) thinking the problem was to do with my cyberhome adl528 and the tnpenc bug thingy...)

This 3:2 pulldown could be my saviour, Will try it and let everyone know.

Is it possible to get the same high quality you would with an XSVCD then you would with a Standard SVCD, using 2 Pass VBR,I think not. The movie is 40 Minutes long.

Anyone wanna elaborate on that.
