PAL RMVB to NTSC DVD

[Sakuya]

I have an RMVB file that's 512x384 and I want to burn it to NTSC DVD using WinAVI Video Converter. I selected "NTSC" before converting. The resulted MPG file: the bottom portion of the video gets cropped off along with the hardcoded subtitles.

Now, I have tried using this AVS script to convert to MPEG-2 in TMPGEnc but the result is the audio and video is out of sync, not to mention it takes much longer than on WinAVI:

DirectShowSource("file.rmvb", 25.000, true, false, true)
ConvertToRGB24()

I found that in Doom9's forum but they do not explain what the "true, false, true" meant. I used 25 fps because that's what it said in WinAVI's specs. So the resulted MPG is out of sync.

So I really hope someone knows how I can do this in WinAVI. Thanks![/code]

Hi-

http://www.avisynth.org/DirectShowSource

I don't use DirectShowSource, but it looks like your video is being set to 25fps. Since you're creating an NTSC DVD, something's being done to it in TMPGEnc. I don't use it, so I can't help with the settings.

...not to mention it takes much longer than on WinAVI

Quality often takes longer, and, of course, TMPGEnc is no speed demon. I don't use WinAVI, sorry.

You might give this new program a shot. Looks easy to use, and maybe it'll work well for you:

It's not clear to me, though, if it does PAL2NTSC.

Try my guide for explanations of the settings and perhaps other stuff that'll help you convert the RMVB. It's here on Videohelp.

Thanks, I actually found it awhile before. The video is no longer out of sync. I also added a Lanczos Resize to 720x480. In TMPGEnc, I set it to Full Screen (keep aspect ratio).

This way, it will resize the PAL resolution to NTSC resolution right? I'll have to check to see if the subtitles get cut off.

Preview the AVS in VDubMod or MPC first. When it's right, then feed it to TMPGEnc or whatever MPEG encoder you use.
