Slight stopping and starting with dvd

[Becrazed_ben]

Hi,

i was wondering wheather any1 could give me some guidence on why a dvd i burned using TMPGEnc plus , TMPGEnc DvD author and then nero stops every 2-3 seconds , its very slight but quite irritating. Can anyone shed some light on this?

tnx

Check the playback for such behaviour at each conversion point. Does this first happen:

1) When playing the original source material?

2) After conversion by TMPGEnc Plus?

3) After conversion by TMPGEnc DVD Author?

4) After burning with NERO?

its not there when playing the movie originally , and ive just played back the encoded m2v file and it is there...

What should i not be doing in TMPGEnc plus to stop this??

Read the following thread - using the template I've listed there should, hopefully, solve your problem:

is that just for NTSC or can it be used for pal aswell??

[setarip]

Sorry, it's an NTSC-only template.

That brings rise to another question - Is the original (I presume) .AVI at NTSC framerate (29.970 or 23.976fps) and did you use TMPGEnc to convert as PAL (25fps)?

[Becrazed_ben]

the framerate of the avi was 25 (pal)...

[setarip]

1) Load the original .AVI video file into VirtualDub (or one of its many variants) or NanDub

2) From the "File" dropdown menu, select "File Information"

3) Post (here) EVERYTHING you see (BOTH video and audio information), or post a screen capture .jpg of the information box

It appears that you were mistaken:

"the framerate of the avi was 25 (pal)..."

"Frame size fps : 608x256, 23.976 fps (41708 )"


This is, most probably, the cause for the stuttering...

[Becrazed_ben]

so what shall i do , encode NTSC

[setarip]

1) What do you want/need as your ultimate result? - An NTSC DVD or a PAL DVD?

2) Will playback be on a standalone DVD player or only on your PC?

[Becrazed_ben]

DVD pal and playback will be on stand alone
