Re: "Slow"/"Choppy" DVD playback when converted from xvid.

The problem with NTSC is that the frame difference is 6f/s so every second there would be a spare of 6 seconds which the encoder would have to fill by duplicating 6 frames every second in order to fill the 29.97 frame rate requirement of NTSC which in turn would explain the choppy playback.

Is there a solution to this? I have wasted so many blank DVDs trying to burn the avi files. The files i'm trying to burn has the following file info:

Video size: 640x480
Audio: 48000hz, 16bps, 2ch
Length: 0:43:35
Bitrate: 1387kbps

I get choppy, slow moving video and audio completely ahead and out-of-sync.
