having green blocks on standalone player ?? ;) Solution here

[warpx]

Ok, i hope im in the good section !!

Well, im posting this cuz i never seen that solution somewhere in the forum and i find that SO usefull...

Did u ever had green block at the top and bottom of ur SVCD while playing in ur standalone DVD player ??? Me yes !!! I found out a way of getting rid of them without affecting the good qualitie of the movie itself cuz while playing on my computer, it s a perfect qualitie picture without the green block...

1-First, u take ur mpeg2 file, u do the vcd header trick

2- after u take this new file, kindly do the reverse, so instead of taking VCD (non-stadard) u put it back as a SVCD video in the same place u were for the header trick.

3-When it s done, u go true tmpeg again but that time, u start the wizard, u go for svcd, u take the newest mpeg2 file for both video and audio, u take keep aspect ration and instead of 1:1 VGA, u take 4:3 format and go for the encoding !!

4-When it s done u burn it (i took nero 6) has a Super VCD with a burning program !!! The reason y i rencode the index and header to an svcd is cuz when you ll get to rencode the file with the wizard of TMpeg, it will tell you that the file is not valid, don t know y but if u respect the step correctly you ll have good result, this is what i had here !!!

Everthing was done with Tmpeg and nero for the burning step...I never found what i post nowhere in the forum and hope it will help peoples that was having that problem...The reason y i dont stop after the vcd header trick is because of the qualitie on the standalone player cuz i tried it and it was shitty compared to the real quality it should be...So it was the better way i found to get rid of that **** green block at the top and the bottom of the screen while watching on a standalone dvd player WIHTOUT losing any quality of the original mpeg2 that was playing fine on the pc, and now, it still playing fine on my pc with all those things done to the mpeg2 file A little thing by the way, the original file was 805 mb, after all this it was 30mb less than the original i think but while playing (beleive me, i didn t saw any difference of the quality and still have a 5 channel pro logic) so tmpeg was telling me that after reencoding the file, it should take 126% of my cd so i droped it to use 99% of the medium...Everything s going like a charm now !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Reply on it if u have any question or better solution.

Little thing...

Reason y i didn t took the original file (Avi, Divx, Xvid or whatever) is becuz i didnt have it, so i did the whole thing with the original mpeg2 i had to make it work correctly on a standalone dvd player that read vcd, svcd...

I'm having trouble following your english, it must be a 3rd or 4th language.

I frankly can't figure out what your trying to say. If you encode the original correctly it shouldn't be an issue. Having to re-encode just degrades the quality. I know what causes 'green' in a source AVI, do you?

I'm curious how you get 5 channel pro logic from an SVCD? That would be a neat trick indeed........

The file was done that way, like i told in the previous post...Sorry for my english, im french but i tought it would be better to post it in english ! lol

Ill try to re-explain myself ...

I had a perfect quality mpeg2 and was wanting to play it in a standalone DVD...

I first took the file and burned it has an svcd structure with nero (cuz, mpeg2 is a kind of svcd)

When i tried it into my dvd player, i had green blocks on the top and the bottom of the screen. So it s not good but it s still working fine in my pc.

To solve the problem, i took the mpeg2 ( the one one the svcd cd) and did the vcd header trick (everyone should know it, it s everywhere on that sites)

Now i had a vcd...I burned it to try it in my dvd player (standalone), the green blocks wasn t there no more but the quality was WORST than it was suppose to be, compared to the main mpeg2...

So, being unsatisfied, i took the file that was rebuild with the vcd header trick. Went in the same place u normally do the vcd trick, but instead of doing the vcd header trick, i took in the drop down menu MPEG-2 Super VideoCd (VBR) and it run...

When it was done, i started the wizard of TMpeg, took in the Super Video CD section, NTSC Film, then next, took the new file for audio & video and put the screen for 4:3 instead of 1:1 VGA, selected the range of the video file i want to encode and in the advance setting i selected "Keep aspect ratio, next and encode...

1 hour later

I burned the result file on a cd with nero by choosing SuperVCD...

Burning complete...

Put it into the DVD standalone player and VOILA , no loss of quality, working everywhere !

Hope it s more easy to understand...

a bad rip,a bad conversion,and using the net or pc for some prog,game,app,when converting or ripping on a pc thats straining already can cause this,it did on my old one.

No need to do the header trick and then reverse it, that seems pointless to me. Just take your apparently non-SVCD compliant mpeg2 and re-encode it, which is what you did in the end anyway. Re-encoding always results in quality loss.

@MeTaLgEaRsOoTy:
Doing other things while encoding only slows down the process, it doesn't affect the result. If it does, then you've got some seriously goofed up computer.

**ZippyP.

The reason i did all those step, cuz i know that the normal way to do it was to directly reencode the main file in svcd, and i tried it...But, tmpeg wasn t taking the file, it was coming with an error...

So i did the header trick and burned a cd after, thinking that the quality was the same but...no !

So i took back that file (the one with the header trick) and reencode it to a svcd (in the same place of the header trick)....I tried to burn it after, but nero didn t took it (Nero 6 newest version) so i took again the file but did the svcd with the tmpeg wizard, wait for 50 minutes and then burned it and NOW it was playing fine.

I know that all those steps really look like going nowhere, but, did u ever try it when you had green bar on the top and the bottom ??? And it doesn t seem to be because of a missing codec, i have Ace mega codec which include everything ...I format my computer once by 2 week and i reinstalled tmpeg 3 times.... And I NEVER open a program or use the computer when encoding.
