Pulsing after Rempeg

[Marco33]

Smartripped vob's (video) & ac3 file (5:1 Sound).

Loaded vod's into rempeg (also tried it as a m2v). Both encodes (M2v or Vob's) go through but, finished video is... pulsing.

Seems to get slightly pixel for a milli second during playback and this continues through the picture, back & fourth. No sound sync problems.

Now the movie is quite long 2 1/2 hours. Encoded at max bit rate of 3684 which is 68 %.

For a test I ripped 1 VOB, encoded it to 90% (same rempeg settings) - picture was fine.

I guess the file is just too big to compress to that small a rate and give a good picture.

Any thoughts?

I get the same thing when reencoding certain streams. Watch the realtime log output as the stream is encoding and you'll see that rempeg reports buffer-underruns (which explains the pixelation.) I don't know how to remedy the situation other than reencoding with a different program.

I gave up on Rempeg2 due to the pulse problem, my backup of Beverly Hills Cop only pulsed in the 2nd last chapter????. I now re-encode using tmpgenc using this PAL template.

LanceSteel,

What do you use to encode?

[LanceSteel]

Marco33, I use Tmpeg Plus to reencode any streams that I can't reencode with Rempeg. Tmpeg is much slower but it's cheap ($49) and can do a lot. Rempeg is nice though because it seems to handle mixed streams (ie progressive and interlaced streams) with no problems.

I'm encoding the D2v file to M2v without the audio. My autho program puts them together. How do you work it?

[LanceSteel]

That's exactly how I do it. I do a D2V -> M2V and then remux the AC3 audio with the authoring program.
