PAL avi->NTSC DVD using CCE problems

[joesphroth]

I'm converting a PAL 25fps avi to NTSC dvd using CCE 2.70 and no matter what i do its either too fast or too slow or its blury. What would be the proper way to do this using avisynth?

I have tried using FPS and not having any luck.

I think the easiest way is to first change to NTSCFilm (23.976 fps) and then telecine.

# first set NTSCFilm framerate
AssumeFPS(23.976)
# now do a telecine (copied from AviSynth manual)
SeparateFields
SelectEvery(8, 0,1, 2,3,2, 5,4, 7,6,7)
Weave

I think there's a couple errors in that script, Troy....

Shouldn't it be 'AssumeFPS(23.976, True)', to sync the audio? Although you will have to resample the audio, it's better than losing sync... :rolleyes:

Telecine (for film content)
AVISource ("blah.avi")
AssumeFPS (23.976, True)
SSRC (48000) # Or other desired audio sample rate

SeparateFields () # Telecine
SelectEvery (8, 0,1, 2,3,2, 5,4, 7,6,7)
Weave ()

Also, this only applies to content that was recorded at 24p, like film. If it's video, like a TV show or a home movie, you'll need a slightly different method...

EDIT: Script wasn't correct with variable names... woops! :-)

Well, that's not exactly an error, I just never do anything with audio in my scripts. The encoders I use don't do audio encoding.

But you're right, joesphroth probably needs audio processing in his script.
