This Is Driving Me Mad

[wuzzbert]

I'm using TMPGEnc to convert avi files to dvd mpeg-2 files. I keep finding that when I have converted the file and then watch it any movement tends to look jerky.

I convert all my files using the wizzard to either PAL 4:3 or 16:9 depending on the source. All the other setting I leave to the wizzard (accept for reducing the file size to either 98 or 99%).

Is there anything I should be checking on the souce file and altering within the TMPGEnc settings to remedy this.

Cheers

Is your source material PAL too? If not, that's what to expect. If the source is NTSC, you either have to do a frame rate conversion (not that trivial) of the source video and audio before encoding, or encode using a NTSC template.

Hi wuzzbert,

Check out this guide:

http://dvd-hq.info/Compression.html

...for settings in TMPGEnc. It refers to doing the video only. If you want to do audio with TMPGEnc, you'll get MP2 format audio (either a separately file along with an .m2v file, or both together as a single .mpg file).

If you wanna do the audio separately, I use VirtualDub to extract the audio from the AVI into a WAV file. I then use ffmpeggui to convert the WAV to AC3 @ 192kbps.

I then combine the separate video and audio files during authoring.

Hope that helps, good luck...

Wuzz, take a butchers at my disscussion with Big Mac. You'll get some meat on your bones!
