This is really annoying and it makes my resulting MPEG2 streams look bad and jerky.

I am encoding a 29.97fps DV-compressed AVI to 29.97fps MPEG2 with my own SVCD template in TMPGEnc 12i.

This is what happens (pretend that each number represents one frame) This is one second:

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 8, 8, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 18, 18, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 28, 28.

As you can see, TMPGEnc encodes the same frame one third into the second 3 times, and it does this about 3 times during each second. Then it skips to the correct frame, resulting in video that slightly "jumps" 3 times every second. This only happens during high-action scenes. When the action calms down and there aren't as many moving things on screen, then it fixes itself to 1, 2, 3... 30.

Can I fix this? Or should I just use a different encoder?
