What TMPGEnc settings should be used to get smooth SVCD play

[bonkers]

Hi,

Has anybody managed to get smooth (no slight stuttering at all) playback on a Wharfedale DVD-750?? I am encoding with the latest TMPGEnc version following the tutorial on this site. The SVCDs play in my player but there is a slight 'skipping' effect with the video. Any ideas on the settings?

Also any ideas on how to best obtain a wav/mp3 from the quicktime movie audio using preferably free software??

Any advice is much appreciated as I am beginning to pull my hair out.

Thanks

What size/speed is your mpeg. Try 480x480 @ 2500kbps.

another cause might be the framerate of your SVCD. what is the framerate of the SVCDs you are creating? 23.97fps? 25fps? 29.97fps? if possible, stick with 29.97fps as the framerate.

It is the starwars short film Duality 640x272. I think I am just using the plain Pal SVCD template at the moment.

Excellent!!Thankyou!! I tried the NTSC template and the video is smooth as velvet!!

Now any ideas about how to get the audio to work?? Freebie mov to avi/wav/mp3 anything so i can eventually get a wav audio track to burn with the now excellent video??
