View Full Version : SVCD to DVD with Avisynth problems

I recently started to download SVCD episodes of Everwood. My goal is to put them onto a DVD. I wrote an avs script utilizing mpegdecoder and everything seems to be fine when I pull it into VirtualDub. I then pull the file into CCE and again everything seems to be fine. After the encode is over I've found out that the resulting file is the same length as the original, but it plays faster and the video starts over--so, you can watch the beginning twice (about 3 minues of the beginning is on the end). This is a bit perplexing as I'm not sure why this is happening and obviously I can't sync the .ac3 I create from it. My script is down below and if anybody could help me figure out my problem, that would be totally cool. Plus, I can then use this for future SVCD conversions. Thanks in advance!
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\....\MPEGDecoder.dll")
MPEGSource("F:\...\Everwood.1x01.WS.DSR.SVCD.SD-6.mpg",-2)
BicubicResize(720,480)
ConvertToYUY2()

I seem to recall that you can force the number of frames in mpegsource, however you should look in the readme for that. Otherwise try dvd2avi.

Thanks. I did try that. I opened up the file in virtual dub mod and jotted down the frames. Added that to my script and now it says the file is only 34 minutes in length. Hmm..

I wonder what's going on here?

This is weird. Virtual Dub Mod says that it has 62,883 frames and a frame rate of 23.976. However, when I open up the file in DVD2AVI it shows that the frame rate is 29.970. Should I be concerned about this?

I'm encoding right now, but the d2v file that DVD2AVI created shows up with the correct frames and time. So, I've got my fingers crossed and the d2v file is encoding faster too!

cool!
