problem w/ playing progressive source on stand-alone player

[santana78722]

Hi,

Plz move to the correct forum if this post is inappropriate here. :)

I have problems playing a DVD on my stand-alone player (Pioneer 757Ai) which plays fine on my PC.
I think this may be due to the "format" of the DVD, but i am not sure about this, so therefore i am welcoming some feedback.

Source: DVD with some episodes of 24 season 5 (that did not air yet in my country). According to PgcEdit this DVD's frame type is "progressive" (50 fps), although its video type is PAL. I guess my Pioneer cannot handle this and therefore playing results in jerkly playback, frozen scenes etc.

Is this assumption correct? If so, how to modify the frame type to 25 fps?

TIA,
S

BTW: I tested 3 different brands of DVD media, that always work fine with my Pio, so I exclude as cause 'bad media'.

50fps??? 50fps is not included in the DVD standard, so there is no way any DVD player would play it.
You have to encode it in 25fps for PAL.

Is this a standard production DVD or one that someone gave you that contains individual video files?

Problem solved!

Thanks for all feedback.
@ Awatef: I misinterpreted the info PgcEdit provided: the preview was played at 49 fps (so double speed of the original), not the movie per se.

@ CWR03: my friend gave me a disc with the individual files. For my convenience (since I am in Europe) he converted the files to PAL (25fps), but this apparently went wrong. --> when I play on my player the untouched files (NTSC) I received today everything looks fine; no more frozen scens, hick-ups etc.

Again, thanks for all responses.
