Non-interlace jitters

[musicman]

Everytime I encode progressive video with TMPGenc, I end up with the jitters. I'm encoding for DVD, 720x480, 16x9. 3:2 pulldown, 24.976 internal. Still get the jitters. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong here?

Thanks,

Have you changed the field order to see if it helps?

[musicman]

No, but I will try that. Thanks.

If it's progressive there is no field order, and I assume you meant 23.976fps (because if it's really 24.976fps that could be the problem). How are you adding the 2:3 pulldown? This can be tricky in TMPGenc (which I no longer run so i can't remember which of the settings/boxes is correct).

But I suspect that could be part of the problem. Try loading the NTSC_FILM VCD/SVCD templates and comparing them to what you're specs or maybe another forum member can post how to set up TMPGenc for pulldown.

I was JUST about to say that, Vejita!

You really did mean 23.976, yeah? 'Cuz 24.976 is PAL, and your resolution (and the use of the 2:3 pulldown) indicates an NTSC player, right?

Try encoding something short with the plain old NTSC-DVD template and see if it plays jitter free. Just like a 5 minute file or something.
