I have a Pioneer DV-47A DVD player that will do 3:2 pulldown for a source detected at NTSC Film rate.
I have assets that are already encoded at 23.98 fps and are progressive. Which is what I want because I paid alot for a DVD player that has Progressive Scan.
Probelm is even in DVDMaestro, you can't import anything that is not 29.97 fps. Same for DVDit, DWS.
Does ne1 know of software that will allow me to author at 23.98
TIA

You have to apply PULLDOWN to your film so that your DVD player will play it (most DVDs are recorded at 24fps FILM, and are encoded this way once a 3:2 pulldown is applied). All the pulldown is set the "repeat" frames and the "drop" frame for 29.97fps. It doesn't add any frames to your file.
Most (if not all) DVD players will play a PROGRESSIVE film. Most (if not all) DVD players will do the 3:2 pulldown automatically, if they detect the "flags". -
He's right. All you need is pulldown.exe, then run a command line:
x:\pulldown input.mpv output.m2v –prog_frames p
If you're going to use Maestro and you need subs you'll have to use:
x:\pulldown project.mpv output-drop.m2v –prog_frames p –drop_frame true
This will sync your subtitles for you. -
Thanks, I ran Pulldown and the video came out looking like Sh*t.
Unfournately, the only of all the enoders I have Ligos, CCE and Tmpenc, only the last one will add the 3:2 flags.
I demuxed the original asset and encoded seperate A/V streams w/Tmpenc enabling "3:2 pulldown when played back".
A test clip imported into Maestro and DVDit without a problem. I think Dvd workshop has issues with pulldown and progressive video. Pity I had such high hopes for that program.
Well no better time to learn Scenartist and Maestro anyway.
Thanks Again
