my encoded movie is bad?

[just]

i have the godfather pt 1 which is (fps 25)..
i used virtualdubmod to change the (fps to NTSC im not sure if it was 29.976 or 23.976)

so i encoded the .avi to m2v with PROCODER 2..
the thing is that when i multiplex the audio and video with TMPGenc 4.0 express i got the .mpg file
which plays great on POWER DVD 8

so i decided to burn with nero burning rom
I USED DVD-ROM (UDF) that way i was able to burn it..then when i play it on my dvd player (TOSHIBA SD 6100) the movie stops and plays..

what can i do to get a better quality movie with no error after burning so that i can watch on my dvd player?

Try IMGburn instead of Nero .

Author the dvd as DVD-Video and burn as DVD-Video, not a data disk

(You should have Video_TS folder, and VOB's inside, not .mpg as you stated)

EDIT: that model plays back DivX, so if your original movie is an XviD or DivX .avi, you can play it back as a data disk without converting (if it meets specifications: e.g. no GMC, no QPEL..etc..)

Also it's possible your framerate conversion was done incorrectly, causing issues.

Go and buy the NTSC version, because after you author and get this playing you will realise what a crappy copy you now have. Starting from a crushed download, going through a poor format conversion and multiple re-encodes and then trying to squeeze all 168 minutes onto a DVD5, this is going to look like crap.

Bravo, guns1inger! The OP is jumping through so many hoops to get a substandard version of an affordable, easily-available movie, one wonders whatever happened to common sense.

i second the suggestion that you just spend the 10 bucks or so and get the professionally authored NTSC version from a place like best buy.

it's always a nightmare trying to convert a 720x576 25fps PAL DVD to 720x480 29.97 NTSC DVD, even when you have the original PAL DVD to work with. but if this is a movie you downloaded (i'm not passing judgment mind you, i'm not some hypocrite that gets all holier than thou) that was already encoded to like a divx or xvid and then you want to re encode it back to mpeg-2, the quality is just going to blow.

personally the only time i would try and author a dvd from a movie i downloaded is if i downloaded it in hi quality hi def, in other words it is my personal feeling that your master should always be of significantly higher quality than your final project.
