Burn a DVD - Number of Frames error

[p_uriel]

Hi,

I am trying to burn a MPG2 movie into DVD media, using TMPEGnec DVD Author 1.6. I receive an error message related the number of frames.

How can I convert the movie into standard number of frames?

I prefer to have this, using VirutaldUb converter.

Thanks,
Uriel

You need to use DGPulldown to apply 3:2/3:2 pulldown to the file so that it can be played back at 29.970 fps on standard player/TV combos.

However, g-spot is reporting this as being interlaced. DGPulldown requires progressive video, so this has been encoded incorrectly and will have to be re-done first.

Thanks.

I have downloaded the program, click convert and it prompts for elementary file.

Which file is needed? The AVI file (my source file) / the MPG file (The file I have generated using DVD2SVCD) or any other file?

The original source was incorrectly made. 23.976 fps sources are supposed to be progressive. Yours is interlaced. This is what guns1inger said.

You will have to re-encode this to MPEG-2 and either set the output to 29.97 fps interlaced or set it to 23.976 fps progressive. If you encode to 23.976 fps progressive, THEN you can use DGPulldown. DGPulldown is not necessary if you encode to 29.97 fps interlaced. I'm honestly not sure which of these choices is better as your source was made incorrectly to begin with.

Sorry - you are using too high level wording for myself.

Let's start from the beginning:

I have an AVI source video. Here is the Gspot snapshot.

How can I convert it burn it as a DVD, to play on a DVD player?

Please suggest me only freeware programs.

Thanks,
Uriel

FAVC or DVD Flick will convert this. I prefer FAVC, as the quality is, to my eye, generally better than DVD Flick, however DVD Flick is faster on single core machines. Both are free. Use Imgburn to burn the results to DVD for playback.
