MPG file extensions may contain either of MPEG1 or MPEG2 video

I made a DVD-Video from the file using the Nero 7 Vision 4, but the
DVD-video drops a frame every 2 seconds. How to prevent the frame
drop?


What are you using to determine frame loss ? Is this visual
estimation, or using some tool which counts how many frames per
second? It could just be you're having playback problems - try the
disk in a standalone DVD player instead of on the PC to see what
effect is apparent there.


The Nero 7 Vision 4 suggested to use PAL for the DVD-Video at first
because I made the DVD-Video for Europe, but then suggested to use
NTSC because the Vision 4 reckoned that the source video was NTSC. I


I'm not fully clear what you've done here from your explanation. If
you created NTSC source content then moved to PAL, you have gone from
30fps to 25fps, which means every 6th frame (I think) should have been
dropped.


was not sure if Europe TVsets and dvd players could play NTSC
correctly and kept PAL.

I can't speak for everybody, but my toshiba DVD player can play NTSC
OK, however the SCART output signal isn't compatible with my old
ex-rental TV, so I get B&W video with striping / herringbone pattern
instead. The picture is visible, but just not useable on that setup.


WinDVD 7 plays the initial file without the pink stripe.
The latest video card driver is installed.


Which pink stripe do you mean?
You haven't mentioned that before...
