ConvertXtoDVD v2.2.3.258 Problems..Jerky Video...

[sandman423]

Well awhile back I had my VirtualDub and VirtualDub Mod set up as well as ConvertXtoDVD and AVISynth But I lost it all...


Anyways....I took AVIs I had and used ConvertXtoDVD to make them into a Video_TS File and then I Burned it to a Taiyo Yudan 8x DVD-R with IMGBurn...Burning at 4x....

I put it in my PS2 and the Video is Jerky when I start it every few seconds it pauses and plays...Pauses and Plays...


How do I make it so it runs smooth?? I have had this happen in the past but now the steps I use is this...

Take Avi File..Run it Through FitCD...Put the Script into ConvertXtoDVD...Make Video_TS and Burn it with IMGBurn but it didn't work...

Any Ideas how I could get my Video to work and not be jerky when I play it back through my Playstation 2???

Here is a G-Spot Picture of the Videos I am using...

It's a PAL video. I am assuming you have converted it to NTSC to make it work on your PS2, and this will make it jerky.

FAVC might do a better job because it uses the Pulldown method for conversion.

It is also difficult, from your description, to determine if this is in fact poor conversion, or a media problem. If the movie is actually stopping and starting, I would suspect media. The PS2 is a very average player, and very intolerant of a lot of media. If the jeriness is just jerkiness in the image during pans and zooms, then it is a conversion problem, and I would suggest FAVC as a possible answer.

I know it's not Media it has to be Conversion

Could you give me a quick Step by Step on how to use FAVC


Also is there a way to chANGe the Video_TS File from PAL to NTSC or must I convert to NTSC with FAVC and then put it through ConvertXtoDVD Again?


Also What is the Best setup for FAVC?? I have a Dual Core Processor....I want the best quality possible....

Also Do you use QueEnc or HC Encoder??

[guns1inger]

FAVC is very straight forward. Just add the video, select the format, select HCEnc, use Predictive Quantization and 2 CPUs and let it go. It is a slower than ConvertXtoDVD because it uses a better quality encoder. Hopefully we will get a new version soon that uses the newer release of HCEnc, which is multi-threaded and will allow better utilisation of dual and quad core machines.

FAVC creates a compliant, ready to burn Video_TS folder. I suggest using Imgburn to burn this to a disc.

Without wanting to be insulting, FAVC is about as simple as it gets, and if you really need a guide to use it, then digital video is well beyond you. If you can use ConvertXtoDVD, you can use FAVC

Here is a thread you might want to read:

https://forum.videohelp.com/topic316333.html

This starts off as "one thing" but then turns into my thread of "mini-guides" on how to do various AVI to MPEG-2 DVD spec encoding ... including how to do PAL AVI to NTSC DVD.

My method is a bit more "manual" than using FAVC but even if you only end up using FAVC I still say reading the thread I indicated will give you some good information.

As for a detailed FAVC guide or "mini-guide" ... I never really looked at it that closely so I cannot help there.

Here's the only (so far) guide for FAVC:

Is there a reason why you just don't pop the AVI straight into ConvertX, rather than creating a script? ConvertX handles 25fps AVI's well (it uses pulldown).
