mkv to dvd (frame rate)

[robinmishra]

hi,
at present i use two software to convert avi, mkv, mp4 ect. into dvd is ConvertxtoDVD and AVStoDVD. ConvertxtoDVD is good fast and good qulity. But when i convert large file like 4 or 7 GB Mkv file its not not enough for me. 1st problem in convertxtodvd u change it size DVD5 to DVD9 doesn't matter for it its take same size to convert. 2nd its use full for mulity title not for singal title. Then i found AVStoDVD in videohelp.com and i use it. its is realy very good but time consuming.

Now main problem is that when i convert mkv or mp4 through AVStoDVD frame Rate not proper so when i play the movie have some jerk on frame rate. i try to chane in Preferences<encoding<setup video profile or DVD vidoe standard but problme not solve. cause i try many softwares but for best qulity AVStoDVD ar present is good.

if some one know who to fix this frame rate problem pls tell me.

thank you
robin

Start with a mediainfo of your source, and of the resulting DVD VOB files.

4 - 7 GB MKV files are usually taken from Bluray source, and resized down to 1280 x 720 resolution at 23.976 fps. I suspect that you will find that most of your files meet these parameters.

Conversion to DVD means a major resize down (and consequent drop in quality). It also means adding 3:2 pulldown to bring the frame rate up to 29.970 fps (full NTSC). The exceptions to this would if you chose in AVStoDVD to output as PAL, in which case a custom pulldown will be applied to get you from 23.976 fps to 25 fps, or if your soucre is 29.970 fps and you elect to output PAL, in which case you will get blended or dropped frames.

The last place you can get jerkiness is if you are playing back NTSC encode material through a PAL player (for example, it could also be the opposite) and letting the player do the framerate conversion on the fly.

So start with mediainfo and compare what is going in with what is coming out. POst a Tree view of each file back here for comments.

FWIW, I have done many conversions with AVStoDVD and not had any problems like this. I always output the same format as the input (PAL to PAL, NTSC to NTSC)

i know that PAL to PAL or NTSC to NTSC i am converting movies into dvd almost 7 yers. can you tell me how to know which mkv is PAL or NTSC? i have a one mkv movie almost 8 GB i try AVStoDVD with PAL or NTSC but frame rate jerk problme not solve it. one more thing can u tell me about setup video profile or video lower avg bit rate , video higher avg bit rate setting in AVStoDVD
did u converted 8 gb mkv to DVD9 or DVD5?

Use mediainfo and look at the frame rate, as has already been suggested. Put it in text view and post the info here.
If you want to change the bitrate, it's on the edit title/video tab. Why would you want to do this?
The program picks the bitrate to maximise the DVD space.

The bitrate on the encoding preferences is really only there so that the program can make a determination of whether to use
QUenc or HCenc depending on the required bitrate. It can be overridden on the edit title/video tab.

can it be effect by pc configuration ?

I rarely convert to DVD9 because they aren't worth the money in most cases. In fact for most 720p MKVs I use Multi-AVCHD or AVCHDCoder to create AVCHD discs which I burn to DVD5 using Imgburn for playback on my PS3. That way I don't have to take the huge quality hit of going down to DVD.

Again, post a mediinfo output (tree view) of one of the troublesome MKV files and the resulting DVD vobs.
