Jerky playback

[Mutant_Fruit]

When i encoded Harry Potter 1 (Pal, region 2 version) recently, i noticed that both on my computer and on my standalone the video played back jerkily. It was still watchable, but the panning of the camera wasnt as smooth as the origional, and was noticably jerky.

Is there a bug in Rebuilder? Or is this just an accident?

Did you fiddle with the decomb or deinterlace settings?

[Mutant_Fruit]

no, didn't touch them. TO be honest, i don't even know when i should use em.

What version did you use?

[Mutant_Fruit]

I couldn't be 100% certain (as my HD went and fucked itself mightily, and has to be RMA'ed) but i'm 85-90% sure it was .51b

I didn;t mention it, but i used CCE 2.5. I saw a tip before that if you disabled "use overlapped output" you got less harddrive thrashing and higher CPU usage, so i disabled that. Thats the only thing i changed from defaults.

I'd be sure to try again with latest version. OTOH, I never had stuttering problems with any PAL DVD processed in DVD-RB.

Did you add something to the AVS files? Post your rebuilder.ini and some of the .AVS files in the d2vavs directory. When you play just the encoded M2V files in this directory, do you see the stuttering too?

If the HD went and f****d itself, might not the jerky playback be because of fragmentation ?
As the resultant DVD worked, this seems like a possible explanation.

The jerky playback was noticeable on the computer (but i assumed that was because i was encoding in the background) but it is also noticeable on the finished DVD. Thats why i decided to post the message here.

I added nothing to the AVS. I don;t have the AVS files from that particular copy, but i do have ones from DVD's i prepared at the same time. I noticed the way it says "interlaced=true". Is that right for pal sources? And if not, would that have caused the problems i'm seeing?

It's supposed to say interlaced unless its the 1/10 that's encoded true progressive.
