Most of dvd players support the 23.976 - 24 - 25 framerate, so, convert videos at 23.976 - 24 - 25 framerate to 29.970 framerate (and I think that today they are supported by all dvd players) cause jerky and asynchronism. in fact, the telecide of the ntsc dvds, cause jerky and asynchronism of the lip synch ect. it's just my opinion

Ah I see, sorry to say but that was what I was told work best with what equipment we're using at the con itself, this isn't the 1st time I've made a DVD for this con, nor the 1st DVD to showcase AMVs, and it played the video perfectly, with no jerky and/or asynchronism that you speak of. I even have proof of that if you feel the need to see it.

While I'll understand that this your opinion and have all rights to it but, unless you plan to enter I suggest you keep them to yourself in this forum. This may be the first contest I'm running however I'm not going in blind. I've done my research and gotten advice from a fellow coordinators. I have also been running test after test with my software for the best results just in case, once again none of the issues you mention came up. So please do not insult me with 'OMG' on how I want things done.

And to everyone else, thank you and keep those vids coming, however I currently have limited internet till Sunday afternoon but I assure you that I'll try my hardest to reply to any questions/entries before then.

Also the contest went extremely well, better then I thought it would go so I want to thank those who attended and I'm happy you guys had such a good time. I also want to thank the tech guys such as TJ, Richard, and the rest of the Tech team who I can't remember names for because I'm really bad at remember them for helping with get this to play for everyone and with dealing with me.
