If the footage is progressive,
follow my way:1. encode the 25p footage at 720×480@25p!!!!
2. use the DGpulldown tool from Donald Graft & apply the specific pulldown
3. use the new flagged file as your NTSC elementary stream!You will not get any speed change!
Great method, it works with progressive formats (23.98, 24 & 25p) only!

I don’t think that it will happen on a DVD player if the disc is authored according to DVD spec. 😉
Many people showing DVDs on laptops or desktop computers & a lot of them using VLC player.As long as you don’t know what players fails, it will be a kind of wasting time on investigation.

It sounds like a known issue with VLC-Player when playing back a DVD with menu.
There is a default setting to jump directly to the presumed main menu on start.
Try to play the disc in VLC player by using the default setting, so maybe you can sort out if this is what the users saw?
Even when the setting follows a good intention, it sadly does not respect the programmed route on the disc.
A complex abstraction layer, such as DVDStudio does, makes it much more complicated for VLC to find the right pgc to jump to.
See if this is the cause, I’m really curious about it.Andreas Gumm

Setup a Google account & you will get 15 GB of cloud space!
Up- & download speed are great, the Google Drive is one of the most reliable cloud services.
I would suggest you to create a segmented archive (ZIP or RAR) encrypted by password, each around 1GB.
Advantages:
1. The receiving person can download a damaged segement again without downloading the whole image.
2. An encrypted archive takes care of that the right person will have access to your content.
3. A successfully expanded archive is like a CRC check.best regards

I’m sorry to say, but Compressor was never known to be a great MPEG2 encoder.
If it’s st8ll possible, buy Cinemacraft Encoder MP for FCP.
It will give you outstanding quality!Andreas Gumm

Hi Matt,
please forget my previous post.
My recommendation in the previous post works for clean 25p PAL sources only. Since I was looking to the clip with my smartphone I have thought you have posted the source clip. But it seems to be the resulting clip.
Can you upload a short MPEG2 clip (smart cutted from source) to a drop box account or any similar webspace?
Sorry for taking it wrong

I’m not shure with your footage, but your assumption that an Euro-Pulldown may has been applied to the footage could be true. Pulldown process creates some repeated frames so a later deinterlacing by matching field of nearest neighbourhood could end up in similar results. -
Hi Matt,
your footage looks to be progressive!
If you want end up in NTSC MPEG2 for DVD, it would be really easy.
My Workflow would be as follows:
1. Encode the footage to MPEG2 720×480@25p
2. After that apply a pulldown 25p->29.97i (yes it works)
For applying pulldown to MPEG2 there is a little tiny tool called DGpulldown, but it’s for PC.
May you find a Mac-Software doing the same?
After that you will get a NTSC stream @29.97 fps without speeddown.
Try it & let me know!Andreas

May the footage has been converted unconditionally from NTSC source to PAL before?
I’m curious what’s behind. If you have a chance to upload some seconds for analysis, I would like to look into it.
