Best Avisynth-based PAL -> NTSC conversion ?

Author

I have NEVER converted a PAL video to NTSC before. I was thinking about doing it this way :

 

AssumeFPS(23.976, true)

Lanczos4Resize(720, 480)

ConvertFPS(29.97) # ??? Or what is the best way how to make the video 29.97 fps ?

 

Any tips ? Especially about the last part ? (changing the framerate from 23.976 to 29.97 )

Delete the last line. The encoded file should be 23.976fps, it is made up to 29.97fps on playback by the use of repeat field (pulldown) flags. 

I imagine that most MPEG-2 encoders will insert these flags for you for a DVD-video compatible encode. CCE certainly does.

Remember you will also have to slow down the audio.

Thanks, I'll try it that way.

The audio should be slowed down by this
