TMPGenc problem

[opz]

When i convert DivX and Xvid to VCD or SVCD, I have a problem. I use TMPGenc and when it's converted and I look at the movie the movie "freezes" for 0,1s every thirk second. Does anyone know how I can get rid of this problem. I have tried to convert the sound to AVI and synced it with the picture.. But nothing seems to work.

Please help me ASAP

It sounds like you are unknowingly doing a framerate conversion. Find the framerate of your avi and convert to mpeg at the same or nearest possible framerate. If this means encoding NTSC to PAL (or vice versa) and you can't play the resulting form, then there are several guides on how to do this properly in the convert section and user guides forums.

you gotta run a pulldown on those streams.

I had the same problem and it took me some time before I figured it out.
You probably encode your DivX to Mpeg using a Pal template of TmpegEng. However, when the DivX is in NTSC (which are most of them) you will have a difference in frames per second, thus the picture freezes.
What you'll need to do is before converting, right-click on the DivX file and choose the second tab. Here you will find information about the file, also the framerate in which it is encoded. You should always encode your Mpeg file with the same framerate as the original DivX file.
Lateron when burning it to VCD, you can choose either Pal or NTSC. It doesn't matter if you burn a NTSC encoded Mpeg file to Pal Vcd or vice versa. This should do the trick.

Try it.
