Is there anything i can do about the bad pixels in these anime video files?

Ok i wanna convert these RMVB files to dvd and i have been able to do it pretty easy but now when i convert them an burn onto dvd when the fast action scenes start happening the pixels start showin up a squares anhard to see,i cant do anythin about it since they are set at certain bit rates now right? i can't make the output bigger then the input or it will completly mess it up right?i would really like to fix these,thanks an sorry if there are posts about this already

RMVB uses a much lower bitrate than DVD requires. If you are converting them to DVD you need to use a bitrate approximately 4 times greater than the RMVB source to maintain similar quality. Also, you are probably resizing the resolution up, which will increase the appearance of any problems in the source.

I'm using "easy mpeg avi wmv rm to dvd" It''s real simple the settings are at 4:3 since i dont want widescreen and Ntsc,Do you think it raises the bit rate on it's on since it's converting to dvd or should i use another program to convert it with a higher bit rate to like avi,or divx any of the formats that the "easy mpeg ect..program" supports,and i can use it to convert an put it on dvd>?

It possibly calculates the bitrate based on the running time of the videos you put into it. You should avoid putting more than three hours on a single layer (DVD5) disc. Personally, I would use ConvertXtoDVD if I had to convert RMVB source material.

I only put 2 hours and 40 minutes on each dvd5,and convert x is much worse when i used it to convert the same amount of video files

I suspect that the converter you aree using is not the best (in fact I know it is) and unless your RMVB files are alread DVD resolution, you are going to expose artifacts when your resize. Again, I suggest giving ConvertXtoDVD a try.

I tried convertx again and still not good same as last time,These files are about 32mb each rmvb is there a way or any program i can use to convert them into like high quality?can obviously 32 mb isn't high quality for these right?also if anyone can help me i can give them a link to one of the episodes and they can try maybe an see what they can do,thanks

32MB is very small, so I suspect that you have low quality and low resolution. There is nothing to you do to substantially improve the quality. You can try encoding and authoring at VCD resolution, but eventually you will put it on the TV, it will be blown up to full resolution, and it will still look like crap.

Basic law of video processing : Garbage In - Garbage Out.

If you want to create a quality disc, you need to find a quality source.

Thanks i was hoping that was what i wasn't gonna have to do since the high quality episodes are about 200mb each =( cant download that much but thanks

If you convert it to avi first you could try using virtualdub's temporal smoother.
