Yet another anime problem...Please Help :)

[Slifer]

Ok, so after finally getting the best settings for my encodes, I thought I could relax. Then I remembered, I have one last problem.

Whenever I encode a video (always anime), during scenes such as side scrolls, it looks really choppy. That is, it goes smoothly, then does a bump, as if it has ditched a few frames.

I do have to change the framerate from VFR to CFR (25FPS), and the original file does not have the problem (VFR).

Is there any way to fix this?

anime is usually done at 24fps (but yes there are times when it is 30fps) not 25...
but as for the simplest solution, use vfr in your final encode as well. mp4 and mkv supports vfr after all.

How do I make them VFR?

I am not exactly avisynth script literate...

I mean, I use Xvid4PSP to create the Avisynth scripts I use...

So it is just a CFR problem then, not really something I am doing wrong.

One way of doing things is to make it CFR by creating duplicates.. I forget how but you can google it and find it.

Avisynth cannot make vfr.

anyways...

is there a specific reason you have to convert your source to cfr, because leaving it in vfr would be the easiest solution:

import it into avs (which assumes cfr), do filtering and everything like normal without frame decimation/alteration.
then use the vfr timecodes from the source and apply it on the resultant encode to get it back to being vfr.

using a frameserver appropriate to your video codec would be best...

Why 25 FPS?
