problem with conversion of xvid to svcd!

[bladeben]

Alright i have this XVID movie which is 576x240 resolution now i follow the guide: http://www.vcdhelp.com/tmpgencsvcd.htm and i did this right down to the last detail,with all my specs matching it.I also used this guide: http://www.vcdhelp.com/forum/userguides/119019.php
and changed my settings as it said i have made two files using virtual dub one with audio and no video the other with video and no audio as the guide says, I burnt it as a NTSC FILM, it previews fine as its doing it and even when i burn it there are no problems. It also is fine when i play it in WMP, but then when i play it on my LG DVD player and the picture is totally screwed its flickering with two big black lines on the screen cutting the picture into 2 and bit parts showing the movie that many times, the video is the colour is black and white. The audio is fine and in sync but the picture is screwed u can see the movie but as i said it is totally screwed. Please if anyone has any advice i would be most grateful ive already wasted 3 cds please any help would be much grateful.
My settings are:

non-interlaced
bottom field first (field B)
1:1 (VGA) aspect ratio
im using toolame as external audio program
Constant bitrate(CB)
Fast motion search
1600kb/s
VFAPI exactly the same as the above site i mentioned

movie frames: 23.976fps
audio sampling rate: 48000hz
audio channels: 2(stereo)
audio compression: MPEG layer-3 codec (professional)

would you believe that 576x240 is not a standard scvd resolution?

[bladeben]

is that why its doin it? when i did it i thought it chnages to 480x480? if so what should i do?

[bladeben]

come on please man what should i do? will this fix my problem?

What LG player do you have? Most LG players don't support SVCD.

576x240 isn't anything. Although I think it's from a Pal DVD origianally. That's a 2.40:1 aspect ratio. You can encode this to 320x240 MPEG1. You can Encode this to a letterbox of 480x480 (it will be a slightly smaller that usual in the vertical, since the result befor letterbox should be 480x268 to keep the aspect ratio).

This is just a lousy resolution to start with, Garbage in, Garbage out.

yeh thanx for your advice i think i know what the problem is now. Ive been burining in NTSC and i think my tv doesnt like it so im going to do in PAL which should fix it hopefully, im going to change framerate from 23.976 to 25fps and resize it to 480x576, do u think this is a good course of action?

[bladeben]

thanx guys i figured out what the problem was it was the fact My TV didnt like the NTSC so i tried on newer TV and it was FIne i alsoused my DVD player so it wasnt the dvd player. Thanx for all your support and if anyone out there is havin some problems burn in PAL and should be fine
