newbie CCE fps problem

[david_brandt]

Hi,

I can not figure out what i am doing wrong. I have searched the forum and read the guides.

I'm trying to convert an 23.976 fps AVI to mpeg-2 for use on a dvd.

here is the avisynth script i am using:

directshowsource("test.avi",fps=23.976)
BicubicResize(720,264)
AddBorders(0,108,0,108)
ConvertToYUY2()
AddAudio()

I load it into CCE SP 2.5 and encodes it with an avg. bitrate of 4.5 mbps. The problem arise when i try to import the resulting m2v file into DVDMaestro. i get a "invalid Frame rate" error.

What am i doing wrong? I suspect that it has something to do with a missing 3:2 pulldown flag but i don't know what to do about it.

Instead of the command given in the guide you can also use:

Pulldown inputfile.mpv outputfile.mpv
