DVD2DVDR and IFOEdit NTSC

[dhluke]

Ok, I know about the bug on IFOEdit and pulldown...

This is what happened... I have an anime DVD (SMJ to X). I was just fooling around with DVD2DVDR and I used IFOEdit to author the DVD and I uncheck every single thing on the encoder tab, and let it run (Force Encoding btw).

Now, I'm thinking... This is not going to work because of the bug on IFOEdit and audio and video will be out of sync. So I load the final product of DVD2DVDr on PowerDVD, and to my surprise it worked perfectly. No audio/video desync, and subtitles work perfect. I closed PowerDVD and load up the files on WinDVD just to make sure it wasn't a mistake. I got the same result. It worked with no problems whatsoever.

So I go do all 5 episodes with DVD2DVDr, use IFOUpdate and put everything back to the DVD Structure. Test everything out with PowerDVD and WinDVD -- everything works as it should.

Now I'm thinking... Either the pulldown done at the remastering company can be recognize by IFOEdit....

OR...

The source was actually 30fps, which sometimes it's common on anime.

Anyways -- I will try it with a NTSC Movie like The Matrix and see if it works or not...

P.S. I highly think the source was 30fps....[/quote]

Ok... I just did Blade 2, full DVD using DVD2DVDr and IFOEdit to author the DVD... Well -- everything works, no desync... all that's left it's to burn it on a DVD-R and test it out on the TV, but I doubt there will be any problems... The video file was about 2.4gigs or so... even thou, it looks like it was compressed too much, it was! but it still looks better than IC, DVD2ONE, or shrink CCE!!!

Anyways... There has to be a catch for not using "FORCE FILM" on a NTSC movie.... Otherwise it'll be too easy...
