DivX 2 Mpg conversion

[The Larch]

I've converted my first movie from DivX to mpg with TMPGEnc.
I had to "cut it down" approx 5 min in order to fit on one CD. I did that with the same program. Finally I burnt it as a VCD with Nero 5.5

I have with horror read some of the posts here regarding problems with conversions from 23,976 to 25fps.

My question is: Do these problems (freeze and jerk) always occur with rips made at 23,976fps? Do I have to set the frame rate to 25 in order to work on a PAL system?

So far I have not had the opprtunity to test my VCD CD on a DVD player, but only on my pc and there it looks just fine.

Try to convert to 23,976 VCD NTSC FILM instead...because most pal dvd players support both ntsc and pal. Try with a short sample first.
