Using HCEnc to encode mp4 gives output in halftime

[Dreadkillz]

Hi,

I'm trying to encode recordings that I made from my h264 camcorder. The video file I'm working with is a 720x480 in 60i mp4 file. I am using HCEnc to encode to mpeg2 to prepare for DVD backup. The only important setting in HCEnc that I've touched is the interlace setting. I've set the source to interlaced and field order as TFF. The problem with my output is when I playback the m2v file in media player classic home cinema, the player shows the total duration and total frames as half as that of the original mp4 file; otherwise, the video plays at normal speed like the original source (29.976 fps). I'm really at a crossroad here and would like any help on this matter.

My avisynth script file is as follow:

ffvideosource("sdv_0010.mp4")

p.s. This is my first DVD backup project, and boy it is giving me a headache.

it's probably falsely assuming the video is 60i, when it's really normal 30i. you might try assumefps(30) in your script.

Remux the .m2v file into a .mpg container. A lot of players will give weird durations with m2v files.

Using mplex:

mplex -f 3 -o "video.mpg" "video.m2v" "video.ac3"  # you don't need to mux in audio, but you can.
