Jittery movements on VCD's

[mcrch27]

I've successfully backed up quite a few dvds except for one problem. Whenever there is quick movement by people or objects then they seem to stutter rather than flow when they move. I am encoding in the following way:

CladXP 1.31 Frameserving , force film, Audio stream = 1st english choice in list. Everything else is left at default.

TMPGEnc 2.57 - Project Wizard - PAL (most films seem to be PAL)

I have tried using the field order both ways, i.e top field first and bottom field first for the same film and the resulting vcd is the same.

All other fields are left at default - the Average Bitrate setting is 1150 and the Audio Bitrate is 224.

I then use Nero to burn the MPEG file onto disc.

I am using Windows XP.

Now I'm really confused. I decided to try using EasyVCD which is a wonderful tool and seems to get rid of the previous jitter problem, however, Ithe quality of the VCD is nowhere as good as when using CLad. Does anyone know if it is clad that would do this or the fact that I may not use BeSweet which Easy VCD does?

Would be really grateful if anyone could help this poor dumb blonde

I guess you are doing the fameserving wrong. If you use forceFilm setting on your dvd and later encode it in PAL this does not make sense at all.
If a movie is in PAL you don't need to do any field operations on it. The movie has 25 fps and that's it. No wonder that your motion is funny in the movie when you throw it thru 3 different formats during the ripping/encoding process.

Thanks for that, still got lots to learn i guess. I tried it without the frameserving and force film options. THe only problem was that I then had to use DVD2AVI as a separate program in order to produce my dv2 and audio files that i load into TMPGEnc for encoding. Clad normally does this automatically but when I tried it the dv2 file was fine but the audio file was showing as unsupported format in TMPGEnc. Any ideas?????

Please ignore my problem regarding the audio file, I took frameserve off as well as force film. Doh!
