avi2cvd using dvd2svcd

[smill]

the problem i'm having is....I have some stargate sg1 avi's that i want to encode to cvd using dvd2svcd. evry time I try to encode them dvd2svcd automaticly encodes as pal, and not ntsc (I don't want pal).
I have gone as far as to edit the AviSynth_Script_file.avs, and the dvd2svcd project file to obtain ntsc size (I.E. 352x480), but it still wants to encode at 25fps. The details of the avi file are as follows

640 x 352, 24 Bits
63647 Frames
25.000 Frames/Sec
140 KB/Sec
DIVXMPG4 V3

The program I use for encoding is TMPGENC

Now I have encoded some of these episodes before in svcd using TMPGenc by it self, and have encoded to ntsc at 23.976 fps. But I would like to use dvd2svcd to encode to cvd so i can fit 2 eps per disc at about the same quality i was geting in svcd, and for some reason (haven't figured why, or what i'm doing wrong) what ever I convert in dvd2svcd turns out looking better than when I use multi steps to convert.

so what it comes down to is, I want to make this

640 x 352, 24 Bits
63647 Frames
25.000 Frames/Sec
140 KB/Sec
DIVXMPG4 V3

Into this
2nd pass vbr
320x480 ntsc cvd
23.976 fps
128kbps 48,000

and so far I can get all of that except for the fps

any ideas?

Thanks

Try this Thread (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=24535&highlight=NTSC) , maybe theres some information in it.

Thanks for the link, but it hasn't helped

I have edited the .avs file, as well as the dvd2svcd project file, but when ever it starts to encode, it resets the .avs file. And i cant seem to find out what changes the .avs file back.

However i have made some progress, The intro picture, and change cd picture is being encoded properly I.E. 320 x 480 23.976fps

But when it comes time to encode, tmpgenc is still trying to encode at 320 x 480 at 25fps then it gives me an error

For encode mode, 3:2 pulldown when playback can not be used if the framerate is not 23.976fps or 24fps

so i'm at a loss

Like i said, I have done a conversion of some of the episodes (just using tmpgenc) to svcd, and changed the frame rate from 25fps to either 29.97 or 23.976, with no sync problem. maybe this will help.

Anybody??

Just a guess,
Maybe you have a check mark in the NTSC to PAL checkbox on the conversion tab?

[mordant]

Well, isn't NTSC CVD 352x480?

DVD2SVCD has the 352x480 setting already in it. I've used it to convert Divx films to CVDs with no problem.

I'm probably not coming across clear. even i'm finding it confusing.
I'm not trying to convert ntsc to pal....as a matter of fact, I want to the reverse. dvd2svcd Is trying to automaticly encode it to pal, (my divx source files were in pal) but I want the cvd to be ntsc...not pal

Sorry for any confusion

thanks

If you choose the last option in frameserver tab (edit as part of video encoding), it won't reset it. I do that all the time.
You could give it a try
