Why is it Choppy?

[kered]

Hello all,
I am new to Burning. I have encoded a few movies using TMPGenc. the movies come out GREAT Looking but i have noticed that when i play them on my DVD player they get choppy every few minutes. it IS after i encode it becasue i have viewd the movie on my pc and when i play the clip before i encode it, the clip is perfect. when i play the MPEG after encodeing i nitoce it on my pc as well when it is played. nay ideas why? i am always downloading stuff but the files are downloaded to my second hard drive so i wouldnt think that would be causing the issue.....shoule EVERYTHING be shut down whuile encoding and burning even though i use 2 seprate hard drives? Any ideas?

Thanks

If you are encoding 23.976 fps avi to 29.97 fps mpg then you will get choppy scenes,load up the film template to encode with pulldown.

Match your input and output frame rates.

Thanks for the info guys. i checked and it did day the output frames per sec was the same. i encoded a movie with nothing elese running and i still get teh same skipping or "choppy" . what else am i doing wrong with encoding?

i get the same problem...its worse when i have motion set precision set low, i have been trying to find a way to get rid off it so if anyone knows it would be a great help.

The choppyness and loss off quality is there when it comes to quick movements hence me thinking its the motion precision?

A downloaded file is by definition of uncertain quality and cannot be replicated as a source by others for testing. Translation - they are all different and many are complete crap.

It is extremely likely that there are missing frames or other errors in the original source. A framerate change would be more obvious, and certainly of greater frequency than every few minutes.

Isolate and identify. Eliminate the variables. Try your encoding techniques on a repeatable source of known quality, such as a DVD rip.

It is also helpful when trying to diagnose someone else's problem if they would give some idea of the steps and techniques they are using, so far I am assuming you just have a bad file, there is also the possibility you are having an ID - ten - T problem.

Excuse me, how do I do this setting? is it in video tab/encoding mode/3:2 pulldown when playback or inverse 3:2 pulldown? there is also a filter 3:2 pulldown!!

You might also try top quality media such as Ritek, TDK, or Taiyo Yuden. I had "choppy" results with Optodisc but since I switched to Ritek, no problems at all.
