Framerate setting on VirtualDub

[spytek]

Hi all

I have a minor problem with framerates when capturing using VirtualDub. when encoding i seem to drop around 3000 frames when encoding a film of around 2 hours length. I use a frame rate of 25.000. Initially i use to loose much more frames as VirtualDub use to default to 25.65* fps.
Although the majority of the encoded video looks fine, you get annoying "glitches" every few seconds where the picture suddenly skips.

Anyone know how i can solve this as i want to try and create a PAL standard video. I use DivX Pro 5 to encode using a bitrate of around 800.

and on the question of bitrate.. any suggestions on what a sensible bitrate is for use when encoding from VCR?


systems spec:
Athlon 900Mhz
128K RAM
WinTV Go capture card
40GB HD

Thanks

Firstly, bad choice on the CPU.
Secondly, GOOD choice on the capture card, ur learning

encode this video to MPEG 2 first, then do a 2 pass encode in nandub, does it improve? (don't use DIVX v5.x.x or 4, only 3.11alpha - personal opinion, read my site )
