JB ..you are welcome

Spooky you got it right. I am using Tmpenc. The settings and how to identify bad frames..thats the step-by-step information I intend on posting.

As for the bit-rate in the reauthored version, you have two options :-

1.) You can keep the same (or nearly the same bit-rate) as the original files and then burn it on 2-DVD's

2.) You can repeat Step-1 to get a match with your IFO file's and then re-compress it to fit 1 DVD...

Please be warned that I have no idea how to fit in subtitles...If someone is kind enough he/she can post a DIY for that part also. I do not need subtitles for any dvds I have, except maybe a few tamil DVDs.


Also all DVD's cannot be corrected. Only "pseudo-progressive" dvd's can be corrected. What is a PP-dvd ?
1.) Play the dvd using Powerdvd.
2.) Make sure de-interlacing mode is in Force-weave (Config..video..advanced)
3.) Then press pause.
4.) Then do a step advance.

If while doing step advances..you see 3 good frames, followed by 2 bad frames, then you know that you have a pseudo-progressive dvd. That dvd can be easily corrected. (e.g all the dvds mentioned in the previous posts of this thread)

If you have more than 2 garbage frames (a garbage frame is one with combing artifacts) or if the pattern is not as stated in the previous paragraph, then you cannot get a 100% progressive dvd. You can at best get a 90% progressive dvd, with at least 1 bad frame coming in the picture. However, with TMPgenc+ you can reduce the "flickering" artifacts to a very large extent. ( an e.g would be Aankhen-WEG )
