Hi all, :) total newb here; only had my burner since Xmas, (but hopefully with your help, I'll soon stop being quite so stoopid!)

I've had a quick look through the forums, but can't find anything related, but apologies if this is an old question:

Anyway, I've burnt some AVI's to DVD, but they come out very "jerky", in other words, it's almost as if I'm only getting about 5 frames per second or summat like that.

And that's the same whether I view the DVD on my computer or on my stand alone DVD player.

The original AVI's are nice and smooth when played on my PC.

I'm Using Nero Vision (from Nero 7), standard play, encoding mode high quality (2 pass), burn speed 4X, and everything else set to automatic.

The only thing that may be a bit unusual is that the AVI's are from PAL source material, but I'm trans-coding them as NTSC.

I've tried this with straight AVI's, Xvid AVI's, and SVCD's, and the symptoms are all the same; smoothly playing originals, but jerky DVD's.

My burner is a Pioneer DVD-610, and I'm using TDK DVD-R single layer.

Any ideas anyone? What am I doing stoopid!

Thanks, Mac.

Thanks for the response, but I'm not quite sure what you mean whompus?

I transcode and burn all in one, but are you saying that I should transcode first (keeping it in PAL) and writing the image to HD, then do a conversion to NTSC afterwards?

How do I do that?

Anyway, I'm now trying once again, but this time I am writing to HD and not actually burning to DVD, so that way I'll be able to find out if the jerkyness is an artifact of the transcoding process or the burning process.

Ah well, it's all part of the learning process! :D

Well at least somebody is having the same problem as me, and I'm definitely not a newbie.
I too have jerky video if I create dvd from avi from my handycam using nero, though its not very bad.
I reencoded the avi using Mydvd and the result was perfect.

I did notice one thing. If you use the utility "avicodec" to see the file properties, the Mydvd vob files show 8000 kbps bitrate(what it should be) but nero shows 9640 kbps. What's more interesting is that nero files show 9640 even if you manually set the bitrate to 8000kbps before encoding. Any comments anybody?

And yes, the nero is jerky both whether writing just the image to hdd or writing directly to dvd

macmic.. Sorry I overlooked your response. It wasnt on purpose. I have no PAL dvds to test but think the setting for PAL is in there under options. I can not test this though as all my dvd are region 1 or no region imports.
