AVI to DVD

[Becrazed_ben]

hi, i was wondering if there was a good template that i could use for TMPGenc to encode avi to dvd (pal) ? because whenever i tried it it the video would stop at start very slightly...

I've not heard of anyone having a problem with the much recommended DVD wizard/template.

The problem probably comes from an NTSC avi being converted to a PAL mpg.
Do some searching on NTSC to PAL conversion methods.

This sounds more like the result of using poor quality media.

If the speculation by "reboot" is correct, you can find information regarding the required conversion process at:

For information regarding converting NTSC files to PAL format and vice-versa, go to:

i just checked the framerate of the avi and its 23, does this mean its NTSC?

"i just checked the framerate of the avi and its 23, does this mean its NTSC?"

Open the original AVI file(s) in "VirtualDubMod" ("File" > "Open Video File"). Then go to "File" > "File Information" and post everything that is listed in both the video and audio sections of the dialog box, or post a screenshot of the information.

When you say that the "video would stop at start very slightly" as you put it, have you tried playing the output from TMPGEnc in a few different software players - does it exhibit the same behavior?

[Becrazed_ben]

yes have tried it with 3 different software players and burned it to a dvd and still the same problem, its only after encoding that it occurs.....

"i just checked the framerate of the avi and its 23, does this mean its NTSC?""

Yes, a framerate (as per your "File Information" screendump) of 23.976fps is that of an NTSC format file...

Have you looked at the link I provided to you earlier?
