Is that true for SVCD and perhaps VCD? I would say NO for standart VCD, because you have a constant Video Bitrate of 1152kBit/sec. And with that bitrate you can have 30000/1001FPS (about 29,76..) or 24000/1001FPS (about 23,97...)
It will very likely be correct for SVCD because there you have a maximal bitrate and a quality of the picture. And if you have less frames you might save bits. > My sources are usually from japanese animation, so I really don't > care about many frames because very few (if there are any) will need > 29.97fps.

If you use a VCD you will fit on a 80Minutes CD (=1h20m) of video on one Disk. > I brought this issue because of a message quite a while ago about a > tool inserted (?) in the pack that permits to change the frame rate > - something I really wish to use, as I have some divx sources with > really weird frame-rates and as they are they are ususable to me. Is > it only on CVS? Bernhard...? ^_^" Right, I added the tool yuvfps to the CVS. I did not write it. The first version was written by Steven M. Schutz and improved Alfonso García-Patiño Barbolani. But I haven't heared anything from him since that time. It can change the frame rate by copying or deleting frames. I do not know if it looks really good when you drop frames to get a lower frame rate. You have to test. If anyone know a way how to do it better an would like to implement that. Please let use know. auf hoffentlich bald, Berni the Chaos of Woodquarter Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] www: http://www.lysator.liu.se/~gz/bernhard ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: SourceForge Enterprise Edition + IBM + LinuxWorld = Something 2 See! http://www.vasoftware.com _______________________________________________ Mjpeg-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mjpeg-users
