Checking FPS

[GALE]

I used TMPGENc to open up a 320x240 avi to place it on a DVD.
Instead of 29.97 fps it was like 14 fps. Is there any clue as to the fps before downloading?

Virtualdub and/or GSpot can help you determine the original frame rate (fps) of the .AVI file.

Regards.

Enchanter,
Thaks for replying. But my problem started when I downloaded a 320x240 AVI file which I thought was DVD cpmpatible. Well after
downloading it was not NTSC 29.97 FPS but 14 FPS. Is there a way to convert this to a DVD compatible file. Thanks.

One set of procedures (other posters may/probably will suggest alternative methods) would be:

1) Use "TMPGEnc" to convert the .AVI (DivX-compressed or otherwise) to compliant MPEG2-for-DVD format - Use "TMPGEnc's" DVD wizard/template to accomplish this

2) Use "TMPGEnc DVD Author" (a different program than "TMPGEnc") to easily create the required additional DVD files and structure (and chapters and a menu, if you wish)


**If the combined filesize of the DVD "package" written to your hard drive is greater than 4.37Gb, use DVD Shrink (or similar) to compress


If your O/S is either Win2000 or WinXP, TMPGEnc DVD Author can also burn your DVD. Otherwise, use NERO to burn in "DVD-Video" mode
(As an alternative to "TMPGEnc DVD Author", you could use "DVDLab")
