I HAVE A VIDEO.M2V FILE IN NTSC FORMAT.WHAT SOFTWARE DO I NEED TO CONVERT IT TO PAL.ANY HELP IS DEEPLY APPRECIATED

You must not remember the response you got from your first post in Doom9's forum.

As a reminder, All Caps is considered "Shouting" in online communication, and violates Forum Rule 9.

Doom9 does not have a guide. However, you may find this link (http://forum.doom9.org/search.php?s=&action=showresults&searchid=339781&sortby=lastpost&sortorder=descending) helpful.Good luck!

It might be possible - using tmpgenc. The very latest can encode
mpeg2 by itself. Doesn't need third party (powerdvd,etc) anymore.

spin off the audio, and speed it up by making it
95.9 % of it's present size (23.976/25)
Save the audio as WAV. Sound forge can do this, so should any decent
wave editor.

IS the m2v 29.97 fps? If it use ivtc to convert to 23.976
(THIS will only work properly if the material is 24fps movie based)

Set your PAL template, feed in the converted audio.
And under settings/advanced select "do not frame rate conversion"

by saying NTSC, do you mean VIDEO or FILM?

If you are going to convert a Pure-Interlaced File (VIDEO) the only way is to decimate the video and get the frame rate to 25. Then encode the video to your desired format.

To do this you need the following installed:

* Avisynth - with the decomb filter
* Video Encoder / Program - TMPGEnc, CCE, Gknot(Divx,xvid)
* Audio Software - Cool Edit, Goldwave
* VirtualDub

If you choose to use TMPGEnc, you can just extract the audio from the video file, using Audio Software (i use Goldwave). Then load the video and the extracted audio file into TMPGEnc and select a PAL profile, and TMPGEnc will decimate the frames for you.

If you choose to use CCE, you must first make a Avisynth script:

LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\DVD2SVCD\Avisynth2 Plugins\InverseTelecine\decomb.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\PROGRA~1\DVD2SVCD\MPEG2Dec\mpeg2dec.dll")
mpeg2source("VIDEO.M2V")
Decimate(cycle=6)
AssumeFPS(25)

Then you must adjust the audio length. (I only know how to do ths in Goldwave.) - www.goldwave.com :

1.load the scrypt into VirtualDub.
2.move the bottom slider to the end of the video
3.read and write down the extact lenght VirtualDub tells you including the ms.
4.close VirtualDub
5.run goldwave
6.open your video file.
7.click effect > timewarp
8.select 'rate'
9.select 'length', and type in the legnth you wrote down and click OK.
10.save the file to a WAV file.

At this point you can choose to encode the audio and video seperately and then mux them together later or you could continue:

You then edit the script again (joining the video to the audio):

LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\DVD2SVCD\Avisynth2 Plugins\InverseTelecine\decomb.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\PROGRA~1\DVD2SVCD\MPEG2Dec\mpeg2dec.dll")
vid = mpeg2source("VIDEO.M2V")
aud = WAVSource("AUDIO.wav")
AudioDub(vid,aud)
Decimate(cycle=6)
AssumeFPS(25)

You then save the script, load it into CCE and encode!

note: if you want encode to DivX or Xvid using Gknot then just load the above script into Gknot, this will also require you to de-interlace the video.

If you where dealing with a FILM source then you need the same programs, but use a different procedure:

note: With a FILM source, you need to create a Avisynth script regardless of the encoder you are using.

The script is like as follows:

LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\DVD2SVCD\Avisynth2 Plugins\InverseTelecine\decomb.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\PROGRA~1\DVD2SVCD\MPEG2Dec\mpeg2dec.dll")
mpeg2source("VIDEO.M2V")
Telecide()
Decimate(5)
AssumeFPS(25)

Then you must adjust the audio length. (I only know how to do ths in Goldwave.) - www.goldwave.com :

1.load the scrypt into VirtualDub.
2.move the bottom slider to the end of the video
3.read and write down the extact lenght VirtualDub tells you including the ms.
4.close VirtualDub
5.run goldwave
6.open your video file.
7.click effect > timewarp
8.select 'rate'
9.select 'length', and type in the legnth you wrote down and click OK.
10.save the file to a WAV file.

At this point you can choose to encode the audio and video seperately and then mux them together later or you could continue:

You then edit the script again (joining the video to the audio):

LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\DVD2SVCD\Avisynth2 Plugins\InverseTelecine\decomb.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\PROGRA~1\DVD2SVCD\MPEG2Dec\mpeg2dec.dll")
vid = mpeg2source("VIDEO.M2V")
aud = WAVSource("AUDIO.wav")
AudioDub(vid,aud)
Telecide()
Decimate(5)
AssumeFPS(25)

Then you load the above script into the desired encoder. Making sure you select PROGRESSIVE.
