Hello

I am trying to convert some PAL format SVCDs into an NTSC SVCD so that I can watch it on my Standalone DVDplayer. My DVD player and my TV both don't support PAL format and I am poor college student.

So far I have all the video segments converted and ready to be muxed, the audio is giving me some problems though. I use TMPGEnc to demux the audio (MPA) tracks out of the source MPEG-2 file.

I tried loading the MPA and the converted WAV into BeSweet + GUI and tried many settings for converting the audio. Tried PAL -> NTSC [25.000 to 23.976] ( audio converts perfect but you can't use this for the MUX). Both the PAL -> NTSC [25.000 to 29.970] and then using the good 23.976 source from other conversions to do NTSC -> NTSC [23.976 to 29.970] both give me proper length audio segnments but then the pitch of the audio is distored VERY badly ;[

So I was wondering if there was any other program out there besides BeSweet that can help me for converting the audio so that it is both properly timed for 29.970 fps video and has proper pitch to the audio.

thanks

Hi-

Tried PAL -> NTSC [25.000 to 23.976] ( audio converts perfect but you can't use this for the MUX).

Why can't you use it? Aren't you also converting the video to 23.976fps? If not, why not?

I need to do a 2:3 pulldown on the video so that my standalone will play it back, and when i merge the 23.976 audio witht that my standalone converts the audio to 29.97 rate and becomes distroted like the 25 to 29.97 or the 23.976 to 29.97 on my PC ;[
