    hi--
    I've just converted a avi XVID file to mpeg-2 using TMPGEnc Plus. The sound is fine and the picture quality is good BUT the movie doesn't flow like it should. It seems to skip a couple of frames every 2 seconds or so.. and after a while it makes your eyes go funny. So anyway -- I gave up with TMPGEnc and started using Cucusoft AVI to VCD DVD. Exactly the same thing but this time a lot smoother.
    I know when you convert an avi file you loose a lot of quality which I don't mind but this is SO much more annoying!!
    Has anyone got a solution for this?
    I was thinking of using DVD2SVCD with CCE.
    Please help!!
    Thank you -- Marie

    and tmpgenc mpg settings?

    sorry - how do you change the frame rate? the frame rate on my film is 25 frames per second.

    and are you on PAL land or NTSC ?
    if your player plays NTSC only that is the problem. cause the source is PAL.

    what you need to do is finding the guide PAL to NTSC :)

    Oh! Also forgot to mention.
    I check the converted movie before writing them to DVD. So I'm playing them on my PC not my dvd player. I have written one to dvd but the same problem occurs.

    Hello - open the avi in virtualdub and check
    file/information. Take note of the framerate.

    Ensure that the template in tmpgenc has a similar F/R.

    If the problem still occurs, try deselecting
    avi(opendml) in tmpgenc environment.
