Please help thats the only problem am having with Maestro everything else is fine

U have a NTSC movie and u have to set the drop_frame flag.

DVD2AVI reported source as film and u d2v it like one. In this case after the encoding u have a 23.976fps video stream that needs to be telecined to become 29.97fps NTSC interlaced in order to be imported in an authoring programm.

For this task u used pulldown.exe. Just redo the operation adding in the parameters -drop_frame true. Use pulldown.exe 0.99d for this.

U also must check dropframe in the authoring program and in subrip.

There r a lot of guesses here. Just tell me if any of them r correct.

I want to thank you. I used Pulldown.exe and i enabled the Drop-Frame Flag and it work fine.
Thankyou now i have no problems...

But what about me... who didn't run it through DVD2AVI ? And where is this dropdown flag ?

[oddyseus]

pls elaborate more.

what exactly is the problem.

[dvd_master]

My subs drag, but I never even ran it through DVD2AVI ! I unmuxed it directly because the VOB was small enough.
I ran it through pulldown.exe and it somehow made the video longer ! When i compiled it, it played like it was stuck in 2x fast forward, and the subtitles werre even more wacky.

[oddyseus]

as I have said before I am from a PAL country so I can only guess what might happen here. When u demuxed from the vobs u had a NTSC 29.97fps interlaced movie, u then applied 3:2 pulldown and ended in a 36fps NTSC interlaced one. I am curious if you can even play it in a standalone.Does your authoring prog accept this video stream?

[dvd_master]

Maestro accepts it.

Hey,
Could you possibly tell me EXACTLY what you did to get your subtitles in synch with DVD Maestro and Pulldown, and exactly what I need to download ??

Thanks,
I really need this.

[Trini]

WHEN YOU DONE YOU WILL GET A .M2V FILE. YOU THEN USE PULLDOWN THERE YOU WILL GET A _pd.M2V FILE.
USE THE _pd.M2V FILE WHEN YOU USE MAESTRO THEN YOU LOAD YOUR SUBTITLE FILE. DO NOT LOAD THE .M2V FILE AND SUBTITLE FILE IT WILL BE OUT OF SYNC. ONLY LOAD _pdM2V THAT YOU GET WITH PULL DOWN AND IT WILL WORK.
