View Full Version : Timing discrepencies between DivX/DVD

I ripped a movie to DivX and was dealing with the chapter timing stuff for encoding to Ogg and ran into a problem. My chapter times are correct (time extracted for chapter 28 is 1:30:33 both in text file and on DVD) but 1:30:33 in the DivX file is about 4 seconds earlier in the movie than on the DVD, so although all of the timings for the chapters are correct, it results in going to a new place in the divx file that's a few seconds earlier than what it should be.

What could be causing this problem? It's a standard american film so there was no conversion of frame rate (left it at 23.97 fps).

arg, I just ran ChapterXTractor and it said that the film is 29.97.. :( I thought all american films were 23.97?

Am I going to have to re-encode w/ new framerate? :(
