Pulldown issue

[Djorgo]

I'm trying to create a dvd from a avi. I've come a long way, but still I have problems. Then I do a pulldown with my video.m2v file, the output file became longer than the sourcefile. That results in that my audio gets out of sync. Because my audio is shorter.
The original avi hav 23.976 FPS.
Please help me

I have tried many times to convert AVI (23.976 fps DivX, XviD, MPEG4) into NTSC DVD without any async problem. I encode the video stream by CCE which need a 2:3 pulldown later in order to get the right framerates. In all cases, I just encode the audio stream into MP2 using ffmpegGUI.
Later I use TMPGEnc to multiplex the two streams together.

How are you encodeing the video, which encoder? If using TmpGenc it can apply the 3:2 pulldown whilst encodeing.

If applying pulldown after encode, what tool are you using to do this, it should not affect the length of the movie or the file size.

This is what I do.
I convert the avi movie with tmpenc, just the video. Then I get a .m2v file.
Then I convert the audio with virtualdub to wav. Then I take the wave file and convert it to ac3 with besweet. So long have the files the same length.
Then I do a pulldown with the .mv2. I use pulldown.exe with PullDownBatchFE.exe. Then the out put file is 1 h 50 min istead of 1h 28min. So the problem most be in pulldown, I suppose.

Maybe I should mention that I have added a subtilt. Therefore I use drop framerate true in pulldown. I use bbmpg to mux the files together.

TmpGenc can apply 3:2 pulldown for you. On settings-Video select Encode mode as 3:2 pulldown when playback and Framerate as 23.976fps (internally 29.97fps)

thanks, it works fine with tmpenc.
