Hello, I need some serious help or guideline.
I am planning on putting my VHS-tapes of the TV-show "Brisco County Jr." on DVDs. This is basically a simple process (which I've done several times), but this time it's a little more complicated:
My VHS-tapes are in PAL (they have the German dubbed versions of the Brisco-episodes on them), and I want to make a PAL-DVD out of them (720x576 at 25fps). Furthermore, I have the English versions of the episodes as SVCDs, which are in NTSC (in this case 480x480 at 23.976fps), so I want to have both audio tracks (German and English) on the DVD.
My plan was to capture the VHS-tapes, so that I already have the video at PAL size and framerate, and just take the audio from the SVCDs, make a time-correction with a wave-editor and put it all together like this. Now, the problem is, that capturing a 45 minutes episode takes 45 minutes And doing this for all 28 episodes is a HECK of work. Additionally I found out, that the quality of the SVCDs id slightly better than my VHS tapes.
What I want to do now:
I want to take the video from the SVCDs (480x480, 23.976fps), convert it to 720x576 and speed it up to 25fps. Technically, the audio from the VHS-tapes should now fit this video, am I right? I am not sure about this, because when I look at a single frame of the VHS-PAL-version, there are interlace-lines in the frame, whereas the SVCD-video (at 23.976fps) has full-frames (or at least there are no interlace-lines)... after speeding up the SVCD-video to 25fps, there of course STILL aren't any interlace lines.
My question: How is the PAL-conversion of the video realized in the TV-world? Is the un-telecined 23.976fps-video simply sped up to 25fps? Or is it telecined to 29.976fps and then slowed down to 25fps? I just don't get it...
I just want that the video from the SVCDs is in perfect sync with the audio from my PAL-VHS source... or, in other words, I want my SVCD-video to run exactly as fast as my PAL-videos. Is there a EXACT way to do this?
---EDIT---
OK, I have tried around, and I've found out, that if I put a 23.976fps-video (converted to an 720x576 AVI-file) in to a 25fps project in Adobe Premiere, the audio of the PAL-VHS is perfectly in sync with the video. The problem is: Having a 23.976-video in a 25fps-project causes several frames to be duplicated, which is logical, but ugly and jerky. Isn't there a way to use frame-blending, and using the advantage of fields?
