Hi, i have a problem while trying to convert DivX avi file to dvd with avi2dvd + cce. The source file is PAL 23.976fps with DD5.1 audio. Everything else seems to go fine, it creates the files ok etc, but it makes it NTSC

I'm probably totally missing something or doing something wrong, tried following the tutorial (How to convert your DivX to DVD±R) but no success.

Any help would be appreciated.

At 23.976fps it's an NTSC file anyway so expect an NTSC DVD to be produced.

I use DVD2SVCD (the same thing?) & that has a check box for NTSC to PAL & it works quite well.

CCE.... Hell yeah, they all seem to have too much money or... hm, could it be another thing??

TimC, you are the man!

NTSC 720 x 480 29.97 interlaced*
PAL 720 x 576 25 interlaced*

The amount of frames a 3:2 pulldown telecined movie has is 30 fps. But an NTSC television will play them back slower at 29.970 fps (59.94Hz). The amount of actual frames hasn't changed; none have been added or taken out. Here is where 23.976 comes in. If we inverse telecine a 30 fps movie we end up with 24 fps. But if we inverse telecined a 29.970 fps movie, because it has a slightly slower speed, instead of getting 24 fps as we should, we will end up with the slightly slower rate of 23.976 fps.
