Dr Divx and lots of bad frames

[feeras]

Hi,

Has anyone been using Dr Divx and getting a slew of bad frames. The video runs fine in Windows Media Player and also WinDVD but when you load it into VirtualDub, it says that there are like over (at least) 1300+ bad frames. Fact was, I didn't realised that this was the case and did about 10 odd movies already through Dr Divx (they all played fine in WMP and WinDVD and I thought nothing of it - thinking it was a good encode because they were all watchable). The only thing that I changed in the Dr Divx settings was to a Bicubic Neutral (i think it defaults to Sharp) but all the other settings (besides the bitrate) was left alone.

Would fixing them (deleting the bad frames) cause any problems here? It's just that it took a long time to do 10+ movies

Cheers,
feeras

o wouldnt rely too much on those being real bad frames if those movies play fine and you are using the defualt settings you cant have done too much wrong. Be strong, self-doubt leads to indecisiveness and lack of moral fibre.

I get the same thing and it didn't affect the bottom line one bit. I encoded 4 30 minute episodes that were in some unknown codec w/Dr. Divx, then used virtualdub, then TMPG and popped out a very high quality svcd and only took a few hrs.
