25 fps to 29.97 fps help please?

[oOGoldenSunOo]

Hi, I'm sorry for asking, but I looked at the guides and did a search and I couldn't find anything that would covert an AVI that is 25 fps to 29.97 fps. Is there any way I can do this? Also, is there a way to make my sony dru510 region free so I can send home made dvd's to relatives in taiwan? Thank you SO much for your help

You want to convert your 25fps AVi to a 29.97fps what? AVi, (S)VCD, DVD or something else.

There are numerous forum threads and several guides on Pal->NTSC conversion (and vice versa). If you have trouble with anything in particular, let us know but be more specific.

And why do you need to make YOUR DVD player region free so your relatives in Taiwan can watch homemade DVD's, I don't understand.

Anyway, home made DVD's don't (can't) have region encoding, so this is a moot point anyway.

TMPGEnc(free in Tools).

Sorry I wanted to convert 25 fps avi to 29 fps MPEG2 for dvd, if you can't do that I can do 25 fps avi to 29 fps avi, but I can't find how to do that. Like I used TEMPGENC to convert some 25 fps avi to NTSC DVD using that wizard, but my dvd authring program says the file is wrong or something like that.

As Moviegeek says, use TmpGenc. There is a guide in the convert section on waht you want to do. In fact what you want to do is convert to 23.97fps mpeg-2 and use pulldown to make it play at 29.97fps. Look to the convert guides listed in the LH column of this page.

I looked there and I can't seem to find a guide that matches what I need to do. avi (25fps) to mpeg2 (29.97) thanks..

Take a good close look at the guides, not just the titles. You probaly need to first find an AVI to MPEG conversion guide, then add in some steps from one of the framrate conversion guides.

IMHO, if it's AVI u want 2 convert, specifically DV AVI, the one tool that runs rings around all others is aDVanced PAL/NTSC converter by Attila Mezei from www.dvunlimited.com. It's inexpensive and quality of output is unsurpassed, being true and legal PAL or NTSC, not some pseudo-half breed jittery format. I regularly use it because I only have PAL camcorders but have to present NTSC DVDs of events on a few occasions, and can say that its nearest field and 2:3:3:2... options are the best, the motion interpolation option being useful only for very low-motion video. AFTER conversion this is where I include the clips on the Premiere 6.5 timeline and export to *.m2v with the built-in MPEG encoder by MainConcept. I have never been satisfied with the often jerky outputs obtained with TMPGenc, which, after all was intended to be an MPEG encoder, NOT a PAL><NTSC converter.
