divx to svcd not smoothly

[surfer]

I have converted a divx movie a couple of times to svcd with Tmpgenc and Lsxmpeg but when i play the converted svcd file on the computer or on my DVD player the video is not running smoothly while the original dix is doing well.

I have converted the audio from the source avi uncompressed first with virtuadub and then i used this WAV file for input for the conversion in tmpgenc. The avi is split into two files, i hope the sound will synchronise with both mpeg files, but this is not the main problem. The problem is that the converted video is not running smoothly.

I have used the standard setting in tmpgenc for svcd.

Anybody know a solution to this problem?

Check the framerate of the avi against the framerate of the TmpGenc template. If you let TmpGenc do framerate conversion you will end up with a jerky video.

I have the same problem, when I convert a divx avi to svcd, the svcd is not running smoothly like the divx movie.

In TmgEnc I used the filter "Do not framerate conversion" , the svcd is running then as well as the divx, but this time i got problems with the audio(sound is out of sync)

Second I tried to use the UNCLOCK.mcf template of TMPGEnc en set the framerate the same as the movie(23.97, and we use normally 25) Then the movie played well on my PC but i got problems in my dvd player.

Surfer, i found something on howto section and the forums for this problem. The divx movies I had, were in 23.97 FPS. I use PAL system(25 FPS)You must first save the audio from you divx to WAV with virtualdubb. Then you must convert the audio to the framerate you use(you can do this with BESWEET)

Then change the framerate in VirtualDubb(in my case to 25) and then frameserve to TMPGENC. Open your template in TMPGENC en then set the option "DO NOT FRAMERATE CONVERSION". Use for video source the vdr file you get from virtualdubb, and for audio source the wav(or anathor format) you got after converting to another framerate.

Provided your DVD player will play PAL and NTSC (many will) your best bet IMO is to use the corresponding template for the source you are using. And all PCs will play any format.
