DVDx rip/encode - getting interlace lines during fast motion

[gschilling]

I am still fairly new to this, so please bear with me. I have ripped a couple of DVD's and burned to VCD successfully, but for some reason the last one I did had problems with playback on my Toshiba DVD player. When the action is still, the picture looks great, but as soon as something starts to move there is severe ghosting and the appearance of interlace lines. I'm sure it has something to do with the settings I am using in DVDx, but I need some help from you to get the right ones. The source DVD is a kids movie that has the 29.97fps picture and I encode to SVCD, then use TMPGEnc to do the header trick so the player will recognize it as a VCD. Do I need to apply some de-interlace filter? Or do I need to do something different in TMPGEnc?
Please post your suggestions.
Thanks,
Gene

not really sure about DVDx, since i haven't used it, BUT even if you use the VCD header trick, you still have a SVCD.

anywayz, you need to find out if the source DVD video is FILM progressive (90+% FILM throughout majority of movie) or NTSC interlaced. best way is to load the vob files into dvd2avi and press f5. an info box will appear giving you the source video info. you need to watch that for a bit and see if the source video is FILM or NTSC.

1) if it's FILM, then you need to encode in tmpgenc as 23.976 fps + 3:2 pulldown and use the de-interlace (double adaptive) filter in the advanced setting.

2) if it's NTSC, you need to encode as 29.97 fps + interlaced (NO 3:2 pulldown) and no filters. the "field order" setting under the advanced setting tab is extremely important in this case. you will get jumpy video if you have the wrong field order. so, do a test encode and burn CD-RW. also, keep in mind, if you encode like this, the SVCD will not look very good on your computer monitor (progressive), but will still look good on your TV (interlaced)

btw, if you're using dvd2avi....if the source video is FILM, then turn ON forced film in dvd2avi. if the source is NTSC, then turn forced film OFF.

good guide for DVDx...output to VCD..but should be similar for SVCDs.
