This is a 23.976 FPS file, and DVDs seem to only support PAL 25 fps or NTSC 29.97 FPS. Me knowing nothing at all about DVD authoring and such, I tried it anyway and, sure enough, the framerate is choppy and unwatchable on my TV. Is there an easy way to change the framerate to 29.97?

I was just about to burn this to a DVD last night, and I have the exact same question.

on a PAL TV? That's strange.
And also... would it help if I had the video turned to a .vob instead of an MPG? or would it pretty much be the same thing...

Done a bit of reading...what the issue is, is 23.976 in itself is not DVD compliant. You can encode to 23.976 fps and have it work for DVD....BUT, when you encode, you have to activate 2:3 pulldown...you wind up interlaced video that is 23.976 fps, but when transferred to DVD, plays at 29.976 fps, because the frames within the video have been flagged to repeat in a certain order, so that it plays at 29.976.
It would appear that you did a straight conversion to 23.976, with no pulldown involved, so the video, as is, will not work in a DVD player. There is a program that can take a video running at 23.976 and do pulldown on it, but I need to do some more reading...

Yeah, I was looking at a couple tools on that site as well...namely Pulldown.exe with the PullDownBatchFE frontend. I think the tool you suggested is better.

This kind of thing is why I'm a pretty firm believer in learning to do everything yourself. It takes a lot longer, but it avoids issues like this, and it makes life a lot easier on the people wishing to look at your stuff. In the future, I'd suggest either going with fullblown DVDs, or going the xvid/divx route, which would make the filesizes a lot more convenient.

I'm going to try the pulldown thing later on, too.

Yes actually it would. I guess it depends on the target audience. If most of the people are just going to watch it on their computers and not share it with anyone else, then the easy thing to do is to just encode to DivX/XviD. If, however, the target audience is people who will be watching it on DVD on large screen TVs, then a DVD image or compliant MPEG is the way to go. It seems to me that the original intent was for people to take the mpeg and author it to a DVD and then watch that on their TV. That's why a lot of us want the releases kept as mpeg. Even the format they're in now doesn't require a lot to fix. Authoring isn't very difficult either.
On the other hand, a DivX/XviD encoded file won't be as easy to share. Sure, it's a smaller file size so it's easier to share over the net, but a DVD disc is a lot easier to copy and hand to someone. Most people I've ever shared these types of things with don't want to have to watch the video on their computer. They'd rather have a DVD that they can pop into just about any DVD player, instead of a file that may or may not work without downloading "yet another codec".

doesn't that make everything way easier?
then someone can make a divx encode and share that and everyone is happy...

I'll release them into 4 GB Single Layer format DVD files.
I think that should make most people happy.
...but it won't be top-quality...

It looks like there's no seeds on Book Cut 2 again. Can someone please seed?

yeah it's my seed... I'm sorry I can't seed non-stop, having problems with my internet connection and having to restart my computer sometimes.
anyway, considering the quality drop....
The Two Towers Disc 3 book cut is a massive 10 GBs...! Because it has some FOTR scenes and some ROTK scenes as well.
if I reduced it to 4GBs... the quality will pretty much go down.
same with other book-cuts over 4 GBs...
in wich Disc 4 Book Cut is 4.9 GBs, Disc 5 is 7GBs, Disc 6 is thankfully exactly 4.
