More pixelation issues..

[SSpiro]

I have some movie clips on my PC that play back pixelated. I posted a question on this before, and was told to install ffdshow, which fixed that issue..

..but now I have some new clips that are doing it as well, WITH ffdshow installed and associated with all installed codecs..

Any thoughts and/or suggestions? I tried burning one of the clips as VCD, but it showed pixelated on the DVD player as well. Could it be the source video was screwed up to begin with?

Bump. Anyone?

Pixelization is often a sign of low bitrate. What bitrate and frame size are you using in VCD. Does your original have pixelization?

I'll have to check bitrate, etc at home..

Original source (as I received it) is pixelated.. but I've come across that before.. and ffdshow fixed it before.. just not now

Garbage in = Garbage out. Not much you can do if the source is rubbish.

It's probably an XviD.

And read the 4CC header. Try changing it to divx on both lines. This generally 'fixes' any MPEG4 issue if you have FFDShow installed.

Well, I decided to check these out using GSpot.. and for Video and Audio codec's, it says "N/A"...

Weird.

I openned the file with AVIC.. and for both fields, it says "ÿÿÿÿ". I tried changing both fields to DIV3 and 4 respectively, but to no avail. Still garbage. igh:
