Not necessarily. I believe in SE Asia PAL is common. In Japan it's definitely NTSC though.

Oh, okay. Didn't know that. :)


It's very bizarre that the source is 51 minutes long and TMPGEnc reports it as 180+ minutes... Maybe the source file is corrupted in some way.

Michi, is your source file PAL format?

Hmm, my first try would be to reencode the avi to see. But carefully so as to not compress it more and lose quality. I would think there's something in the encoding that f***s up in TMPGEnc. I also heard TMPGEnc doesn't guarantee full support on XviD. Is that true still?

The exception to that rule is the Philippines, which is NTSC.

I did a quick search of TMPGenc and xvid and found that there are many people having problems with this combination. One thing is that Divx files are MPEG-4 and have a higher compression than MPEG-1 used for VCDs. I don't know if that is causing the problems Michi is seeing. :confused:

So it is only that one file? That is a head scratcher....

Have you checked the file in Gspot (http://gspot.headbands.com/) to see what info it tells you about the file? It won't tell you if it's 'NTSC' or 'PAL' but it will tell you how many frames per second it is. NTSC is 29.97, PAL is 25. Also it can tell you whether or not the file length is correct and other info that might help give you some ideas.

I wholeheartedly agree!

I think it would better to step away from re-rips and instead invest in a $70 DVD player that plays DivX/XviD. Reading through the newsgroups and even www.vcdhelp.com, re-ripping DivX/XviD files to something else is not a finite science. I even remember people having trouble re-ripping the more recent JTV DVD rips when they first switched to XviD.

Another program that you could use is AVIcodec (http://www.videohelp.com/tools?tool=AVIcodec)... :)

Complicated, yes, but I haven't had too much problem encoding stuff... And it's educational... :D
