DVD2AVI questions - regarding FILM/NTSC/Etc

[dc91gt]

A few recent rips I've done, DVD2AVI has reported the following:

16:9
29.97 FPS
FILM

or FILM 99%

Isn't "FILM" 23.xx fps? when I encode with tmpengc do I want to
select video movie or film movie?

I suppose I'm basically curious as to how to interpet what DVD2AVI
is reporting in those incidences.


thanks

99% film = Film


NTSC FILM DVDs store the movie as 23.97 progressive
on the disc but with a 3:2 pulldown flag.

This will let the DVD player know that it
should do a telecine during playback.
It does not do it if you have a progressive
scan TV though.

If you select forcefilm in DVD2AVI
it will keep it at 23.97

Do NOT use forcefilm if the DVD is interlaced NTSC
as a few are that (TV material, concerts dvd etc)

the fps is NOT regarding the source....

1) if you turned ON forced film, dvd2avi will report fps as 23.96
2) if you turned OFF forced film, dvd2avi will report fps as 29.97

hence, the fps does not indicate the source....you should concentrate on the VIDEO type and FRAME type

Thanks for the info.

I've been encoding them in tmpengc as "video movie" 29.97 FPS and they turn out fine.

Should I be setting it to film movie and enable 3:2?

Or does it not matter?

The results I get are quite good.

For ntsc dvds stored as film, which accounts for about %99 of them, ALWAYS use forced film and encode at 23.976fps with the 3:2 pulldown. If you think the quality is good at 29.97fps you will be amazed at how much better it looks at 23.976fps. When you encode at this fps you free up about %20 more bitrate, so your quality looks that much better.
