Divx FPS Question!

[X-treme]

My friend took backed up a dvd to divx.

I am currently de-coding it, but was reading some 'how-to' guides and it mentioned something I don't understand.

'Note 3! If your video source is 23,976 fps then check so it says Film movie under Content of video, if not then go one step back and select NTSC Film(Use virtualdub to check the source fps, read here how to). '

The video IS 23,976, but when I encoded it, I left the option to 'VIDEO MOVIE' and not 'film movie' under the content video.

What's the big difference? Quality?

After the encoding, I will be authoring it and burning to a dvd-rw to test it out.

Any help would be appreciated!

If you select "film movie", 3:2 pulldown will be applied. The frame rate will be converted to 29.97 during playback. If you select "video movie", TMPGEnc will do a hard frame rate conversion from 23.976 to 29.97 that will probably result in choppy looking video when it is played back. Stick to "film movie" if your source is 23.976.

Thanks for the info, but what's 3:2 pulldown do?

It pretty much tells your player to do the frame rate conversion on-the-fly.
