Jerky Video?

[gw2k_101]

Does it really matter if the source DVD is progressive or interlaced when making an SVCD? Is there a different option that I have to set if its interlaced vs. progressive or what I do all the steps the same?

Also, I use DVD2AVI and TMPGenc to make my SVCD's. I read somewhere that if I use forced film in DVD2AVI it will make a 23.976 video. Will a DVD player beable to read that if i burn that to an SVCD? Also, I start out with a NTSC 29.xxx video, used forced film option in DVD2AVI and get a .wav file and a .d2v file. I put those into TMPGenc and use the 3:2 pulldown option to convert it back to 29.xxx. This gets rid of the interlaced lines I was having trouble with before, but now I get jerky video.

Am, I following the right process? How would I get an SVCD from a progressive or interlaced source and make it so it's not interlaced and not jerky and be able to play back on a DVD player?

Forcing the film will change the aspect ratio, but the ratios should be able to be read by most DVD players. Have you only seen jerky playback on your computer, or your DVD player as well?

On my DVD player as well. Why is it jerky? I think using the 3:2 pulldown made it jerky?

Also, would using the forced film and not using the 3:2 pulldown solve the jerky video issue? Would I have the interlaced problem? Will my video be in sync?

if you force film and your making a svcd then the 3:2 pulldown is required when encoding. If not it will be jumpy. If you force film and use the 3:2 pulldown and its still jumpy then your dvd player may not be able to handle it- simple as that.

now you could force film and make a VCD (using the vcd ntscfilm template) and the 3:2 would not be used.
