how to slow down mpeg video

[dsdsds]

I've searched this forum (and others) for hours without success. Here goes:
I have VHS tapes of really old home movies. 15 years ago, the movies were transferred to VHS from super8 film. They are of bad quality and have NO AUDIO. The video is too fast. I want to slow it down a little - stretch the movie so plays in 2hrs intead of 1.5hrs. Again, I don't have to worry about audio because there is none.

I installed a Hauppauge winTV PVR 150 (works very well btw) video capture card and recorded the VHS tapes on to my HD (mpg format) at the default 29.97fps. I managed to convert (using MPEGed) the video to 23fps. For some reason, when I play the converted mpg (on WMP), it plays at the same speed. Why? Also, I want to burn a DVD with this mpg using DVD author, but it won't allow me because it is "not standard framerate".
Question:
How do I slow down the mpg video (stretch the play time) and burn a DVD? I definetly do not want to re-encode because the already poor quality. I hope there is a way using TMPGenc or DVD author.
I guess the ideal would have been to capture the video using a higher framerate, then bring it down to standard. How do I do that with winTV?

Please help!
thanks

do you have the original super8 home movies? if so, forget the vhs tapes and try working with them first

I wish I had the original films. They were "thrown away" by one of my dear family members experiencing a abominable lapse in judgement!

If you have Sony Vegas, you can slow the video down or even make it play faster in the timeline. First you have to capture the whole thing with a video card (I know you have one but just in case for the ones who don't have one....you can ask someone to capture the video and burn a DVD for you). Then you can rip the movie (no split files) to your pc and drop the VOB file directly in Sony Vegas. There you can do this:
-press Ctrl>mouse left click on the right side of the video shown in the timeline>drag the video to the right>this way you're going to slow it down. Play the video to see the result. If it's OK for you, render the video. Please note that Sony Vegas is not freeware. Hope it helps

Just for reference, 1x speed for Super8 was 18 frames per second.

Another thing you could try is, convert your captured 29.97fps video to 23.976 in TMPGEnc and on the Advanced tab check "Do not framerate conversion". This will keep all the frames of your original capture and the new file will just play back at 23.976fps. When you converted before, the reason it was the same length is, some frames were removed to make it 23.976fps.

Also, when encoding with TMPGEnc, on the Video tab you'll want to choose 23.976fps (internally 29.97fps) for Frame rate and 3:2 pulldown when playback for Encode mode to make it DVD compliant.

Womble MPEG Video Wizard will allow you to adjust the speed of your video. It also does a bunch of other cool things. It's a bit expensive but worth it! MVW also has a 30 day trial period. Once you try it, you'll want to marry it!!!!
