20 fps to 23.976 or 29.97?

[Enil8]

I see a lot of guides from changing PAL to NTSC, but none about just changing the fps. I have a movie w/ 20 fps and i would like to change it to any NTSC frame rate. Are there any guides that aren't on this site? Or can somebody just tell me a way to do it and still keep good quality? Thanks a lot!

VirtualdubMod or TMPGEnc will do that among many others. As far as keeping the quality, you'll just have to try it. Sound sync may be a problem.

Load the file into tmpgenc then choose SuperVideoCD (NTSCFilm) with settings/advanced/do not frame rate conversion checked with video only being encoded and with audio run thru besweet change frame rate from 20fps tp 23.976fps and mux.

using besweet to do the above gives the chipmuck effect.

If this was a DVD rip that you processed through DVD2AVI then if you have FORCE FILM checkmarked on a PAL source (25fps source) you end up with 20fps

That's the only way I know to accidently make a 20fps video file.

P.S.
FORCE FILM option in DVD2AVI can only be used on certain NTSC DVD sources and not for PAL at all!
