(Encore CS6) 50p video on NTSC DVD?

Hello,

I'm compiling a DVD project of an old project - some videos I want to get on there are annoyingly 50p. What's the best way to get these onto the DVD without losing sync?

Every video I want on the DVD gets transcoded to MPEG2-DVD before I put it in the project, and I exported the 50p video as 30p but as you'd expect, there were significant frame losses and the whole video was out of sync.

Does anybody have a solution for this?


Thanks

Correct answer jackdelamare

So I opened a 29.97p project in Premiere and imported the 50p video file. I interpreted the footage at 29.97 and put it on the timeline. So far so good, just a little slow. So I set the speed/duration to 170% and it plays back normally, sounding good, all in sync and looks fine.

Exporting it as 29.97p, it comes back entirely out of sync. Any idea why/how? It plays absolutely fine in the edit, and I'm exporting it using the right settings.

Thanks


This was actually a media player issue and the video exported fine!

Managed to resolve this issue - thanks for all your help!

In which country are you in?

DVD is mpeg2-dvd only.

UK - the film project was all shot NTSC at 29.97fps. I'm putting it all together on a DVD. We have a "bonus feature" that is 50fps. I'm trying to transcode that to work on the same DVD project, but it obviously can't go on there at 50fps.

You are stuck with 29.97.

You could try converting by using Time Interpolation/Optical Flow.

If you are in Europe try to do everything in 25 or 50p.

Transcoding to ntsc framertes is a real pain.

I avoid anything ntsc as the plague.
