tmpg dvd author - pal ntsc setting?

[jin007]

Hi, I made a couple of projects in tmpg express and outputted to pal 25fps since my source was pal.

I burnt to dvd using tmpg dvd author 3 and I just realized my dvd's were not in pal format but in ntsc, I ripped the .vob from the dvd and loaded in virtualdub went to framerate and it says 29.970, damn that's a dissapointment.

How do i get tmpg dvd author to burn my dvd's in the correct fps I loaded in? I thought it would auto detect and burn it correctly.

What is a better dvd authoring program, easy to use too?

So was your source PAL, or wasn't it?

my original source was pal, my reconverted with tmpg express was also outputted as pal. I checked them in vdub.

Did you pick PAL DVD as output format? TDA3 will re-encode if needed. If you feed it a PAL video and have the destination set as NTSC it will encode to NTSC. If you feed it PAL DVD ready video and chose PAL DVD output it will output a PAL DVD.

Your first choice after starting TDA3 is where you most likely made the mistake.

Thank you! I swear I never noticed that, I thought it was an image not an option.
