SpruceUp Problem

[BOXINGJUNKIE]

I ripped the Eagles DVD When Hell Freezes Over. It only has DTS audio. When I try to import it into SpruceUp I get this error message: "Progressive Frame Flag In Picture Codeing Extension Is Set to 0". Anyone have any idea what this means? Any help is appreciated.

Thanks Boxingjunkie

Not sure on that exact error but as fas as i know Spruce-up does not accept DTS audio so this might be your problem.

For DTS i always use DVD maestro or Scenarist

I remember Eagles Video had PCM.

Hey Microman what is PCM? The video only shows DTS.

Thanks Boxingjunkie

The error that you received is referring to your video file - it hasn't even started the audio file. This error occurs when you take a progressive stream (24fps) and apply a 2:3 pulldown and don't set the progressive frame flag ("1" means that the video is a progressive stream pulled down to 29.97fps, and "0" means the video is straight interlaced 29.97fps). The program can see that it is not an interlaced sequence, since there are only 24 frames where there should be 30.

Take the .M2V video and re-run PULLDOWN and be sure to set "-PROG_FRAMES P" as one of the options. This will allow the video to import. Once this is done, Spruceup will not import any audio, since it can't handle DTS.
