Can you change FPS without shortening movie?

[wildejedi]

I have several home movies hat I have of my kids made on my digital camera which I would like to put onto DVD.

According to GSpot the framerate is 9.385 and the frame size is 512x384 (1.33:1) [=4:3]. The codec is MJPG

I want to change this to 25fps and resize for pal and I've been trying to use AVISynth 2.5 and CCE. I used the following very simple script:

avisource("C:\Documents and Settings\The Wilde Family\My Documents\Home Movies\Bradgate Park (22).AVI")
lanczosResize(720,576)
changefps(25)

I used a 45second clip but when I put this through the encoder, the movie played at the correct speed but it cut off after only 16 seconds. I tried assumefps(25) but this resulted in the encoded movie playing back amusingly fast.

Is there any where of doing this via AVIsynth?

I'd appreciate any advice you can offer

That script should work fine. What do you mean when you say "it cut off"?

The clip is 45 seconds long, but when I encode using this script the clip is now only 16 seconds long.
It plays and looks fine, it just ends one third into the original clip

I don't know if its coincidental but the encoded movie is the same length as when I just encoded the movie using CCE without adding any FPS reference to the Sript. Just selecting 25fps in CCE. This resulted in the whole 45 second clip being played really quick(like a benny hill sketch) and getting to the end in 16 seconds

try this:

avisource("C:\Documents and Settings\The Wilde Family\My Documents\Home Movies\Bradgate Park (22).AVI")
lanczosResize(720,576)
assumefps(9.385).changefps(25)

It Works!!!

Thank you so much Drcl. You are a star!

no problem.

the mjpg codec wasnt hinting a frame rate for some unknown reason.
