AVI to DVD using CCE - Playback Judders ?!?

[DaveF]

I've converted a 25FPS AVI to PAL DVD using CCE Basic.

The AVI plays smoothly on my PC, but in my DVD player the coverted DVDR plays with a Judder! ... kind of like its skipping everyother frame ..

How do i smooth this out on the CCE conversion ?

The problem might be poor quality media. Do you have a different brand of media you could try in your DVD player?

I believe this has to do with field order.Try switching the field to the opposite to what you did it in.I forget now wether it should be top field first or bottom field first for dv to view on your tv.

I have tried playing back the Video Folder on my PC and i get the same judder.

I have been leaving the "top field first" option checked in Advanced Options. I will try unchecking this to see if it makes a difference.

I'll let you know how it effects it .....

Oh ... I didn't read your first post close enough. I see you said AVI and not authored DVD.

I doubt it's field order only because the source is a progressive AVI at 25 fps. CCE will be creating the fields as it encodes, so the order should be OK.

You don't say if you changed the framerate, say to 23.976 ? This could cause issues.

He said 25fps avi to PAL DVD (which is 25fps) so no framerate change.

If the source is avi, it is almost certainly progressive. So encode as progressive in CCE. (let your DVD player convert to interlaced). I am pretty sure it can do it, but can't tell you what setting to use as I don't use CCE myself.

Sorry - it's almost 1 in the am here and I've been coding, so there eyes aren't working too well . . . .

Right, i think im in the right area of finding the problem now.

I've been using AviSynth to add borders and set the aspec ratio.

When i play the AVS Script file, which is using the AVI file direct from the Hard Drive, i get the same Judder / Stutter ...

This has got to be a Codec issue, as CCE is only encoding what i give it through from the AviScript !

I've un-installed all codecs from my HardDrive .... could someone suggest the right (stable) codecs i need for AviSynth to work properly ?

What codec does your source avi use. Try Gspot to find out.

[DaveF]

The original .avi (which works perfectly) is using 4CCvid codec.

How do i get avisynth to use this codec ?

What bit rate did you configure CCE to encode at? Some DVD players can't handle DVD's encoded at very low and very high bit rates.

This is definatley a problem with AviSynth ..

If i encode just the .avi without running it through AviSynth, it encodes fine, but i don't get the borders and aspect i want.

As soon as i run it through AviSynth, i plays with a Judder ! .. even before i encode it ....

AviSynth, seems to be using another Codec ? If thats possible ??!?
