Flickering

[johnnywhoopz]

I dont know if this is the correct term but it looks like flickering.
It only seems to happen when im doing NTSC when converting DVD to SVCD because all my PAL ones are good so far.

What im getting is when you see movement in the picture the moving object becomes fuzzy but the background is clear.

Is this flickering and how can i fix?

Im using
SMARPRIPPER
DVD2AVI
TMPGenc

Thanks guys and girls

no, not exactly flickering...
it's called "telecine process".

it's used to convert 24 frames/second movies to 60 fields/second NTSC transmissions/DVDs.

it IS possible to do the inverse-telecine (IVTC) with avisynth.
this restores the pictures to what they originally were and should remove and jerky-motion and ghosting.
there are good DVD2AVI guides out there.
since i'm in austria and do not have a single NTSC disc i can't tell you much more.

but it you can't figure out how to do it, ther is one last chance.
in any case you have to use a "SVCD NTSCFilm" template for tmpgenc or set the framerate to 23.97 frames/second by hand.
then you can enable the inverse-telecine filter in tmpgenc.
but this should not be the prefered way to go since tmpgenc has to guess which frames to remove and dvd2avi just would not generate the frames...

maybe just switching to 23.97 frames/second will do the job - i guess it could be that dvd2avi outputs 23.97 frames/second by default for those discs.

ok before i try that i think the problem lies in DVD2AVI because when i preview the vob file the picture is normal.

its only after i have saved the project and previewed it on TMPGenc that the flickering or fuzziness occures.

so i dont think the problem lies with TMPGenc although TMPGenc may be able to repair it.

should i check something on DVD2AVI when changing from PAL or NTSC?

just set tmpgenc to 24 frames/second and check again...
