compression in ulead studio7 ??????

Interlace is not a problem, it is good. Just verify that the "strobes" are interlace. If so, then that's good. Do not deinterlace or do anything to combat it. Does audio and video go out of sync when you re-encode the video to SVCD format with TMPGenc? This has not happened to me before. What version of TMPGEnc do you have? You can also encode to SVCD format in Ulead VideoStudio. Test that, does it make e difference on the sync? Had you edited the file before encoding it in TMPGEnc? /Swan

hi swan i did as you advised with the interlace and the resultd were perfect.yes the audio was going out of sync when i re-encoded with tmpge, but this time everything came out ok. i`m using tmpge 2.53.35.130 when using this programme is it best to re-enode first then to cut the file ?. the last question is i have just started to re-encode another 90 min film and for some reason this time it will take 17 hours to to it. i have not changed any settings on ulead with regards to quality capture. i gather the setting on tmpge must have something to do with it. i know that if you go into settings at the bottom there is something that you can change (can`t remember the name and the prog is running at the moment) to alter the qaulity. this is set at normal. well with your help my first full film was a great. the picture and audio quality were very good (6000 bits and mono audio at 112 bits). it looks like i can get on with changing my old films over now, i only need to sort out the encoding time on tmpge. do you have any ideas on this that will still give me a decent picture. ???????? thanks for all the help you gave me, you must be a very patient man to be able to put up with what must seem like straight forward questions. should anyone now ask similar questions on the board i would now be in a position to help. thanks al
