Avi lowering Frame rate and audio

[vipertongn]

Is it possible to lower frame rate as well as syncing it with its audio? I got a 29.980 fps file and i want to make it 25.000, is there a program that does this? i don't want to actually have to play around with the interleaving til i get it right.

You might look into DGPulldown. You may be able to avoid audio re-encoding that way.

this killed all the quality and pretty much didn't do much good v.v

You can't pulldown to reduce a framerate, only increase it.

There is no nice way to do what you are asking. You with either end up with blended frames, or dropped frames, and which ever you end up with, the quality will suck. And you still have to deal with the audio.

Can I ask why you need to go from NTSC video to PAL ?

[vipertongn]

oh no, i'm not making it into pal, i have this split video and one of them for some reason is 29.970 fps and the other is 25.000 fps...so when i combine them, the audio is messed up...

[guns1inger]

They have come from different sources. If you were planning to create a DVD out of them, you could use pulldown to bring the PAL section up to NTSC video speed without affecting audio, then have the two parts play consecutively by authoring them correctly. I wouldn't try to join them unless you can get both parts from the one source.

[vipertongn]

so theres no way to just stick them together?

[guns1inger]

If you are happy to re-encode one part and suffer whatever quality hit it causes you can. Otherwise, no.

[vipertongn]

well out of the parts there is only one that needs to be done and that's the larger file...i'd kill a little quality to lower it down a level.
