NTSC DVD TO PAL DVD
Hi,
I got a ntsc dvd,progressive,hollywood movie, that I want to convert to pal dvd. When I preview in DGIndex,with Forced FILM off,the information says : -Frame rate: 29.97 -Video Type: NTSC -Frame Type: Progressive -Frame struct: Frame With Forced FILM on the frame rate changes to 23.976. So the question is,what settting should I use,Forced FILM on or off? There is no interlaced parts at all in this movie. Thanks |
Real progressive 29.970 materials are pure theory except perhaps if this is a computer generated movie, 100% digitally mastered. But even this, I have doubts there are some on the market.
Your movie is pulled-down, as usual. So use Force film. |
Okay thanks.
So then my script will be something like this: Quote:
even if we change from 29.97-23.976 to 25? Or is the timecode for 29.97 and have to be manually changed? And finally the audio will be 29.97 to 25 conversion ? As far as I understand the pulldown issue,its a 23.976 stream that is flagged/forced to playback at 29.97 framerate.(if thats correct im on the right track I guess 8O ) |

And that is why you should give DGPulldown a try : encode with no wonder about the fps (so you will produce something in 23.976 but with PAL resolution) and DGPulldown will flag it to be read at 25 fps ! I never tried but that is the goal of the tool. And it seems to work. No problem with the subtitles; no problem with the audio :!: |
Which program do you use for authoring? You really should use non-permanent subs as that's what DVD is for. DVD2SVCD might be helpful in this case as it should handle subs as well with NTSC->PAL conversions.
Pulldown from 23.976fps to 25fps produces a slight jitter which I found annoying (probably because I knew it was there :wink: ) The audio conversion is 23.976fps->25fps instead of 29.97->25. |
Ill give DGPulldown a try,it seems to be a good solution.
btw,I encoded a short clip with AssumeFPS(25.000,true), and as far as I can see the subtitles displays correct. |
@Boulder,lately ive used DVDAuthorGUI for authoring,yep mostly
I use non permanent subs,wich DVDAuthorGUI supports fine. The Script here was more or less for testing purposes.(or KVCD),as im new to the NTSC to PAL stuff. Ok Ill use 23.976fps->25fps when doing audio. |
