Pearl Harbor jerkyness

[Nostradumbass]

I just finished ripping and cutting Pearl. To my surprise it plays back with halts (possibly repeated frames) every 0.8 seconds or so on my Pioneer 434 and C603. When played back on PowerDVD it seems OK. Converted with SmartRipper 2.23, DVD2AVI 1.76, TMPGEnc 2.01, AVI2MPG2 1.24 and Nero 5.5x No errors, over or under runs detected. I've successfully converted many before. Might the an incorrect A/B field setting do this? DVDs Any clues.

if you used 3:2 pulldown and your source was non-interlaced (FILM) then field order doesn't matter....

i'm hesistant to say this since u have a pioneer (and they can play all sorts of crap ass cd-rs) but...it could be that your cd-r is bad...try burning it again..sometimes it happens to me too

or...it can be u didn't have your ripping proggie remove the multi-angles. if u use smartripper, the movie mode will automatically remove multi-angles, if u use dvddecryptor, u have to goto options and enable multi-angle processing

I doubt its the CD as the jerks are synchronous and on all 5 disks (I like max res.

I haven't been aware of a possible multi-angle problem, but many of my previous rips had them and I never encountered a problem. If fact, nothing about the processing was unusal with the exception of the selection of track 4 (the dolby headphone track) which is 256kbs. Normally I keep the default TMPGEnc sVCD default audio setting of 224 kbps. This time I upped it to keep the original 256kbps and reduced the video rate to compensate.

Its so odd that the disks play fine with PowerDVD but not with the Pioneer.

Saw a report recently in another post that Pioneers don't handle audio bitrates other than 224 very well.

The sVCD spec says they are supposed to support audio streams up to 384. I did a few follow-up tests, varying the audio rate between 224 and 256 and reducing the video rate to stay within the 2770kbps max and so far I've been unable to reproduce the problem. Oh, well. Thanks for the advice. I'll report on the results once the conversion is complete.
