XviD and Tiny Pauses

[rendez2k]

With TMPGENC I am trying to make a 23.976 FPS into an UK 25 FPS MPEG, but I am getting tiny 'pauses' in the MPEG every few seconds. I have tried both with and without audio. A recent XviD at 25 FPS converted to MPEG perefectly. I am guessing its someting to do with the FPS conversion?? Thanks!

hi, i'm having the same problem with xvid when converting to vcd ntsc film format using tmpg. after i burn them and play it on the tv, there were stutters in the movie and some jittery movement. however when the mpeg is played on the pc before being burnt into vcd, it plays without any problems.

can anyone help us out?

There's a technique you can use. USe virtualdub to open the avi.
set the frame rate to 25 and frameserve to tmpgenc.

Use tmpg to encode ES video only (PAL template)

The tricky part is the audio, you'll need an app. that can stretch
the sound by a factor of 95.904 % (23.976/25)
Sound forge does it, possibly besweet.

Basically, you use virtualdub to spin off the audio ("save wav"
from the file menu) time stretch it, create the new mp2 file,
and multiplex it with the ES stream from the first step using
tmpgenc tools.

I do this myself, but in reverse (I'm in the US and convert 25fps
to 23.976 so I can make quality SVCD)

cheers,
Dave

rendez2k and apeness do not have the same problem... davexnet's solution would work for rendez2k coz he has duplicated frames. however i dont think thats the case with apeness, unless... do you happen to live in PAL country, apeness? in that case you shouldnt convert to NTSC film but to PAL and follow davexnet's advice for that.

Try unchecking the box in Rate control mode Setting:
[ ] Enable padding to not be lower than minimum bit rate

Some DVD players don't like the padding that TMPGEnc adds if this box is checked; there will be many small pauses during playback. Most DVD players are not affected though.
