I use DVD2AVI version 1.76. Never had a problem.
Do you preview ( by pressing F5 ) after loading your VOB's to verify that the video is at least 95% FILM, before actually selecting FORCE FILM?

How can i find out if my movie is NTSC Film or not?

You open your VOB's with DVD2AVI and press F5.
That starts the preview window.
Let it run for about a minute and in the stats window check if it says NTSC or if it says at least 95% FILM.

If it says 95% FILM or more, then you check Forced FILM.
If not, select None.

Hi Kwag,

I'm still confused as to exactly what FORCE FILM does? Is this an inverse telecine process? Also when do I need to use the IVTC filters in my avisynth script? If I preview the movie and it comes out to 94% film then what should I do?

Sorry about all these questions about this- I read the link you posted about inverse telecine and it makes sense (sort of) but I don't really know about this Force Film thing- the only DVD2AVI manual I could find was in Japanese :?

thx a lot!

Just a question teacher, how do you do a two parts project in tmpgenc? Maybe i try it just to see the quality 8)

Thanks!

Hey DaDe!

It's easy!. Once you get your video/audio loaded and your template, select the start frame as the beginning of the movie and the center of the movie as the end frame, and save the project for example like part1.tpr.

Then go back to your advanced settings and mark the source range start where your end was, and mark the end frame the last frame of the movie.
Save the project as part2.tpr.

Hint:
I usually overlap the second mpeg about 5 seconds into the end of the first mpeg. So when you change your CD, you start 5 seconds early,and helps you keep a better track of the movie. So your second mpeg should start about 115 frames earlier from the end of your first mpeg. Got that! 8O

Now go to File/batch encode and select your two saved projects.
Go drink some cervezas :lol: and when the batch is done, you'll have two mpeg files ready to burn!.
( Easy with the cervezas, or you'll be very drunk by the time the encode is done! )

I found this in a post by Hakko at the Doom9 forum:

Force FILM is DVD2AVI's way of trying to reverse the telecining process. This is a quite simple function and will therefor fail when there is too much garbage (i.e. NTSC) in the stream. This will present itself in the preview window where the type value will switch between NTSC xx% and FILM yy%.If the final value is FILM at 95% or lower or NTSC at 5% or higher then you will have to use some other method for doing an Inverse Telecine, or IVTC. There are a number of ways of doing this, including using TMPEGEnc, or AVISynth with GreedyHMA, Decomb or IVTC4.

if anyone is confused about IVTC and DVD2AVI -> force film than this thread is very good reading: http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=23776

Hi Kwag ! :D

Just a question :

I've used th kvcd2, ( 704X480 ) but i got just a small image in the center of the screen...

Is there something i can do, or my DVD players ( Sony Dav-s300 and Pioneer DV-525 ) cant play it.

Ps: Untill now, the only resolution both can take is 352X240.

Thanks in Adv, man...
