PAL XViD -> NTSC SVCD? (Remove Stuttering)

[Thrax]

I pulled the 6ch AC3 audio from the XViD with virtual dub in direct stream copy.

I converted it to 2ch wav via HeadAC3he, was downsampled to 44.1 etc.

I selected an NTSC film project (23.976 FPS with TMPGEnc).

Set a small source range.

Ran the sharpen edges filter.

And told it to do a straight CBR 2520 run through.

The result is an NTSC version that DOES play on my DVD player, but the image is jerky. The effect is subtle but annoying.

Is there any way to alleviate this subtle stuttering in the conversion process with TMPGenc?

Thanks.

No one?

Did it say "23.976 29.97 internal)
?

try runing pulldown on the file (hthe raw m2v not the program stream)

I think you may have misunderstood me.

My XViD file is PAL.

I'm running it through TMPGEnc to produce an NTSC file. When I select an NTSC SVCD project, the final product (The new NTSC mpeg from my PAL AVI) stutters slightly.

I need to fix that stuttering, or know if I have to live with it.

The right way to do a PAL to NTSC conversion is to change the frame rate from 25 to 24 with avisynth or virtualdub and adjust the audio length to match (I use besweet for that). If you just load the PAL clip in to tmpgenc and tell it to encode at 24fps NTSCFilm it will remove one out of 25 frames and you'll have that jerkiness you see.
