You will lose quality. Any re-encode will lose quality. Will you notice? Probably not.

Anyway, try virtualdub.

Wait.I have seen somthing to remove GMC without reencoding. Here read this www.videohelp.com/forum/archive/t245290.html

You can't remove GMC without re-encoding. If you are refering to MPEG4Modifier, they were talking about using to unpack bframes, which is an issue with MediaTek based players.

Pretty sure that I heard that the player can handle DivX's 1 warp point GMC ok.

ok i used virtual dub to renencode with open dml settings,,but i cant get it to remux my audio

Have no idea.Just saw that thread. Mine wont play with GMC, if i try and it doesnt, i forget about it..LOL...not worth the Time to re-encode.

Open silent avi. Select audio->wav audio (it must be wav AFAIK).
Then you can select audio->full processing mode, Audio->compression, and select you favourite audio codec (mp3), configure. Select video->direct stream copy, then file->save avi.

Use virtualdubmod to mux in the audio.

my recode looks like crap!! i used vdub fast recompress with xivd at a slightly higher bit rate,open dml and it looks very noticably different than the original whick was perfect,,,any help or ideas

[celtic_druid]

Well you were warned. One thing to try is to filter or crop/resize so as to not compound artifacts by using the same macroblocks. Could also try a different quant matrix, how large was your first pass filesize compared to the original file? You did do 2 passes right?

[catdaddio6]

no just one fast recompress pass,,i'm trying to do away with the qpel and gmc so i can view in my dvp642 player,,,the size stayed the same i just bumped up the bit alittle

I hear you on that..One step forward..Two Steps back. It will be an endless search for the player that plays all.

[celtic_druid]

As far as I know no current or soon to be released chipsets can handle 3 warp point GMC. I really don't think a lot of stuff uses GMC though.

So for tha player that plays it all, I guess an XBox or a PC is the way to go.
