Video mpeg2 looks good but dvd videos is jerky ?!

[bebop02]

Well i tried several times to encode with tmpeg DVD videos on a pioneer DVDRW and tried to play it on my ps2 or dvd player device and I got some problems :

-I encoded from an avi files and with hard subs on it and the picture is just to large in height, only see the top of the subs.

-Everytime I encode it, the video mpeg2 file seems ok but when i burn it as a dvd video, the video jerks along in fits and starts...
The fact is that I used a tmpeg settings for ntsc and pal, and it does the same thing...

Somebody gor any idea, plase ?
Thx for answering

Sounds to me like you messed up on your field order. Try switching the field order in your encoded mpeg2 file and then re-author your DVD. When you have incorrect field order, you can't tell on the PC (looks perfect) but when you try on a set top DVD player and watch it on your TV, it looks really jerky specially on high motion parts of the movie.

Well i tried that, it looked like it worked a bit but after
with an other file it didn't :o/

Well i'm trying to encode an avi file (anime)
I followed doom's guide and your advice and choose inverse 3:2 pulldown with "constant quality" encode and "center (keep aspect ratio) to make my subs problem solved...
I really don't know what to do ~_~

Thx for your help again !

Well after working on it, it seems it plays well as a dvd video on my computer but on ps2, it jerks a little every 10 or 15secs...
Wonder if it's the DVDRW or my play2... have to found out, i'll try to test it on a dvd standalone player.

Anyone got the same problem ?

I have the same problem. I used CCE 2.67 to encode the Divx/Xvid files to MPEG-2. The DVD looks fine on a PC but plays a little jerky on a stand-alone.

perhaps your problem is the "tv safe area" ?

if you want your dvd really play fullscreen you have to add borders to your video-files
i do this with FitCD, there you can set borders with the "block tv-overscan" option
then in the avisynth script a line will be added
for example:
avisource("c:\film.avi")
BicubicResize(x,x,x,x)
AddBorders(x,x,x,x)

the values for this depends on the resolution of your video

I'm also having the same problem. DVD looks crap when files put thru TEMPenc.

Sorry to ask an obvious question, but have you made absolutely sure that the frame rate of your source is the same as your encoded output?

NTSC Div-X => PAL MPEG2, perhaps?

Only a suggestion, so please don't anyone think I'm trying to cause offence here, ok?! :eek:


Arky ;o)
