jerky video with tmpgenc 2.53

[chickenhq]

ok the first part of the movie that i encoded to svcd came out good ...... right after that unistalled divix 5 pro since i could not figure out how to register it and installed divix 3.11, 4.12. then i tried to encode the second part of the avi file to svcd but tmpgenc 2.53 preview screen was blacked out as the movie was being encoded even though i had installed the divix codecs above.. since i could not get the preview screen to work i tried to encode the avi to a vcd format and the preview screen worked but the movie came out jerkey. it started out good for about 20 min after that the movie just became un-watchable.

here is the original avi fle:
size 259mb avi
48 mins 22 674 sec
MPEG Layer-3,127 kBit/s, 44,100 Hz, Stereo
352 x 288, 24 Bits, 72565 Frames, 25.000 Frames/Sec, 91 KB/Sec, DIVXMPG4 V3

converting to:
Video-CD NTSC MPEG-1 352x240 29.97fps CBR 1150kbps,
Layer-2 44100Hz 224kbps
final size 482mb mpg

how do i register divix 5 do i have to encode something using virtualdub instead of tmpgenc
other codecs installed on my comp: nimo codec, intel indeo

chickenhq,
the reason being is if you try converting a PAL region to an NTSC region type, you tend to get the jerkyness.
It doesn't always happen, but it can be an issue.
Especially with the divX v3 types.
Perhaps ChickenMan can tell you best way to fix it (or minimalize jerks), but try changing your layer 2 down to 192 bits (ya 224 is better, but this can help at times *it did for myself 2 times), or just encode it as a PAL with the same type of settings
352x288 & layer 2 (sound) at 224bits)
PAL VCDs should still be able to play on your standalone DVD player (in most cases).
My DVD player (although NTSC) can still play the PAL region VCDs, cause VCDs work differently than DVDs.
The latter is probs your best solution.
Good luck.

PS
yes, to register DivX 5 you have to start encoding something into DivX format. Either with virtual dub or vidomi or whatever, then a pop-up screen will come up (obviously) & ask you to register (as zver mentioned)

Regardless of what you do you will ALWAYS get jerky movies when you convert NTSC 29.97 frames /sec to PAL 25.0 frames/sec. Almost 5 frames every second of playback have to chopped out, this ALWAYS results in a jerky film.

Convert NTSC to NTSC and PAL to PAL and you will get the best results always. Make sure your DVD Player has the TV type set to NTSC (if you live in an NTSC world) rather than Auto and all will be well in playback.
