Help!!!!!!!!

Hi. New to vcd encoding. I have encoded a few films ok but have noticed on a few that there is a very slight stutter. I`ve just read something about fps conversion and not to change it. Does this mean that when in tmpgenc, if i set the fps to the same as the orignal avi i will not get the stutter? For example, when i load an avi file in virtual dub and check the file information i.e. fps = 23.976fps, if I set the fps to the same in tmpgenc does this mean that the fps is not converted and has stayed the same?

Basically you are right but its not just a matter of framerate inyour mpegs. certain framerates are used by certain standards. When using TmpGenc to encode, cancel the wizard and use on of the supplied templates. Load the template with the framerate that matches the framerate of your avi. NOTE:

PAL 25fps
NTSC 29.97fps
NTSCfilm 23.97 fps

Depending on your DVD player and TV you may then have issues with the format. Nearly All dvd players will handle the formats listed but some TV's may have problems. European TV's tend to be able to handle NTSC, PAL and/or a hybrid Pal-60 used by some DVD players to playback NTSC video in PAL areas. In the US tho I believe most TV's only handle NTSC, so playing back PAL VCD's may be difficult.

If the stutter is only present in movement areas, check your field order and try reversing it.

If you have set a non-standard maximum bitrate, change it back to standard 1150.

Try the same files recorded on a different brand/type of CD.

Make sure stated framerate is accurate, do NOT change.

Set everthing up correctly but can i still be able to fit one film on one disc using the vcd non-standard setting?

[Nelson37]

Standard VCD will get 80 minutes per CD. Non-standard can get any value you want, depending on bitrate.

Also. found that with the correct settings still get a jerky picture, not that noticeable but can get really annoying half way though a film. Didn`t have inverse telecine on when encoding but will that make a difference?
