Little squares everywhere

[john_29]

I recently made an svcd from an avi file, but when I play it on my dvd player or windows media player there are a whole bynch of little blurry squares all over the screen making useless to watch. When I watch it on PowerDVD it works fine though.

NTSC SVCD
16x9 aspect ratio
non-interlace
Full screen (keep aspect ratio)

Re-encode it at a higher bit rate - 2250 is the limit for SVCD

Another option is to encode the file at DVD bit rates but at 352x240 size.


Lastly, you can use AviSynth and a Deblocker plugin - DGIndex is very good

LoadPlugin("d:\plugins\DGDecode.dll")
Avisource=("d:\myavifile.avi")
deblock(quant=20)
BlindPP(quant=8, cpu2="xxxxoo", moderate_h=45, moderate_v=55)
ConverttoYV12()

I was using TMPGEnc and let it use the auto setting for average video bitrate. It put the bitrate at 2520. Is that too high?

That should be fine. The specs can be found here:https://www.videohelp.com/svcd
