frame rates

[Vslayer3000]

ok i am wondering what the proper way to encode a dvd rip ate 23.9 frames per second using gordain knot. do you just change the frame rate from 29.9 to 23.9 in the bottom left before you encode or do you activate ivtc? also i was wondering... i'm having an appending problem, it says the files can't append cause they have a different # of streams. does that mean different frame rate or something?

please take a look at the guides! there you'll learn everything!

Short answer:
If you have a FILM source, just use "Forced Film" in DVD2AVI.
If you have telecined source, you must use IVTC.

You might take a look at http://www.doom9.org/ivtc-tut.htm also.

it's an interlaced source with ntsc not film. so i did a few rips by checking feild deinterlace and when i got to the encoding part i checked the ivtc box and the results worked good but... if i open the completed rips in nandub or virtual dub it says they are 29.9 frames per second... so i was wondering if you just lowered it in the main gknot thing it will work?

the main prob is it's anime that i'm ripping and you pretty much need ti ivtc and dinterlace it but i want it in 23.9 fps but deinterlacing leaves it as 29.9 i think . the status window says ivtc acivated and that it changed the frame rate to 23.9 but vdub or nandub says the resulting avi is still 29.9 and if that's true i could be getting better quality out of a 23.9 avi if there is a way to do that...

well i tried encoding something like the way i was asking about and it didn't quite come out as i hoped so oh well doesn't work, any other ways to make an interlaced vid into 23.9?

You should not process content that was not Telecined with Inverse Telecine.

Just because DVD2AVI reports NTSC/Interlaced does not necessarily mean the content was not Telecined. The only way to determine it is to look at individual frames in a scene with movement.

You may have checked the "IVTC in AVS -> Correct Frame Count" box, but if you did not select Inverse Telecine in the "Save and Encode" window, it was not performed.
