Frameserving to TMPGEnc

[lemmy999]

I am making a VCD and need to use the telecide filter in Virtualdub (I am leaving it at 29.97 fps) , so this means I must select Audio Interleaving and set the delay to 33ms. According to the virtual dub page, audio interleaving doesn't work during frameserving (it says it is handled by the client). Is this something handled automatically because I don't see any kind of option for audio interleave in TMPEnc? I also wanted to use the Temporol smoother but I can't use this while frameserving either. I only have 3GB available on my HDD so I don't have room to save the processed file and then re-open and frameserve to TMPEnc (it is 45minute 352x240). What do you suggest I do? Also, if I can't use the temporol smoother, should I still be using the smart smoother? Thanks

Ok I'm going to assume you have a good reason for converting 23.976 to 29.97, because if you dont then definitely leave it as it is because converting to ntsc will only degrade quality. Unless you have a really crappy dvd player you should never need your to convert to 29.97.

Anyway, you would probably be better off not frameserving at all. TMPGenc can do a very good telecine job by itself, just encode to 29.97 and under the advanced tab enable 3:2 pulldown. frameserving from vdub to TMPGenc is sloooow. As far as the temporal smoother, TMPGenc has some great filters than can clean up your video nicely.

If you do decide to frameserve then yes "interleaving" will be done automatically by TMPGenc. In vdub the joining of audio and video streams into a single avi file is called interleaving, in TMPGenc its called multiplexing. As long as you have both an audio and a video going into the encoder then it will automatically multiplex them together while encoding.

I have captured a show from VHS and it has been NTSC telecined. I got this from Luke's video page. I am just not choosing to reverse Telecine back to 24 and I am leaving it at 30. So I need to remove the artifacts caused by the the NTSC telcining process. So do you think I should reverse telecine back to 24? The reason I want to frameserve is because of my lack of disk space. I only have 3G left and it is a 45min video. I am filtering out the telecide artifiacts, then deinterlacing, the resizing to 352x240 (captured at 352x480), then using the smart smoother (all in virtual dub). I guess I am still not clear on this telecine thing. I know what it is, but I don't know what to do about it. I captured at 30fps and I see the pattern of 3 frames without artifacts then 2 with artifacts. I wanted these VCDs I am making to be very standard so they will play on ANY DVD player so I thought I would leave them in 30fps instead of taking it to 24. Do you suggest I reverse telecine and then use the VCD NTSCfilm TMPGEnc template?

You can do the audio correction in TMPGEnc too. Just use the "Source range" filter in the Advanced tab of the settings window.

I think I addressed your other questions on my message board.
