Ah, there is you problem. You cannot mix 25fps (PAL) with 29.97fps
(NTSC) on a DVD or within a single video file. You will need to
transcode the PAL material up to NTSC framerate. This can introduce
the "stuttering" you were speaking of earlier. There's not really
much of a way around it, though. Try using a couple of different
encoders and make sure that you set the output framerate to 29.97
before hitting any "encode" buttons.
Hi Dylan,
I had been told that Quicktime Pro 7 and the MPEG-2 Playback Add-on
would allow me to transcode these files so that they will not
stutter. I was hoping that somebody here had both and could test
this for me with a small file before I go ahead and buy the two.
Another suggestion was to use Toast to convert them somehow but so
far, I have not been able to make this work. It keeps reverting to
PAL format because the video file is in Pal format of course.
Is there someway to adjust the frame rate 20 29.97 in VLC or can you
recommend a better encoder that will do this for me.
I am desperate to get this sorted out as I have to have all these
files merged together in a DVD presentation within the next week.
Thanks,
Amber
