Screen video capture: output to SVCD flickers

[Thumper Strauss]

I used Camtasia Studio to capture some "how-to-use-this-website" stuff as an AVI screen capture.

When I coverted this AVI to MPEG-2 with TMPGEnc 2.5, and burned to SVCD with Nero, the resulting video had a lot of flicker on my TV.

I tried combinations of the following settings in TMPGEnc, but none of these seemed to reduce the flicker problem:

- Inverse telecine 30 fps
- Inverse telecine 60 fps
- Ghost reduction
- Top field first
- Bottom field first
- Encode mode: interlaced
- Encode mode: non-interlaced


For the record, the orginal AVI file was produced with Camtasia at 5 fps and also at 30 fps.

Anyone know how to get rid of this flicker problem?

UPDATE:

I ran the AVI file through Premiere and used the remove flicker option. I then outputted to TMPEGenc and made a SVCD. The flicker didn't appear on the TV.

So, that appears to be the solution. But for those w/o Premiere, is there any way for TMPEGenc to remove the flicker?
