Black blocks/artifacts when viewing XVID on TV

[skribby]

Hi!

I have a PAL DV tape that I have captured using Vegas 11. I've made some edits to it in Vegas and rendered it using Xvid-1.3.2-20110601.

First, I got interlacing artifacts when viewing this on a TV (these artifacts did not show up on my comp screen). So, I enabled deinterlacing in the Xvid Home settings, and this stopped the interlacing artifacts from showing up, but instead I now get black blocks with movement, seemingly quite random, visually speaking. These also only show up on my plasma TV and not on the computer screen.

And what do you play with? A divx dvd player? The TV? Computer connected to tv?
Does other avi xvid look okey your plasma?

You could try convert to avi divx and see how it looks. Install the divx codec.

Apologies for not describing in enough detail, I was too eager to send off my message

1. I'm trying to play it on a divx dvd player.

2. I've done other encoding with older xvid versions and they've worked fine on the same player.

3. If I download a TV episode encoded with Xvid, they look perfect on the TV.


EDIT: divx did the trick

Or use an older version the xvid codec.
