Problem coverting uncompressed AVIs

[marcus2704]

Ive have a large uncompressed AVI file which I need to convert to a reasonable sized SVCD. However, when its uncompressed its viewable perfectly fine when using WMP of Power DVD, upon loading and selecting the SVCD (PAL) temlate .mcf file, TMPGEnc displays a B&W distorted image as follows (apologies for the pictures, its the easist way to explain..) -



If anyone can advise what may be causing this it would be great..

go into vfapi settings and there are two avi (at least) readers , reverse thier order ...

[marcus2704]

Hi thanks for responding. Ive tried numerous combinations based on what you told me, but Im afraid it makes no difference and I get the same effect. The settings for VFAPI are as follows - am I missing a plug-in, or is the order incorrect?

uncheck each of the first 3 readers listed one at a time ...

also you have 2 mpeg2 decoders listed -- uncheck the CRI one (different issue)

Hi,

I have unticked each one and tested conversion after each was disabled, and I still have the same effect. If I remove all 3 Im unable to import AVI files, presumeably I need to leave at least one ticked.

Have you tried frameserving from virtual dub?

this doesnt sound like "uncompressed AVI" then ---- which should be a huge file ..

[marcus2704]

I captured them on the fly from a TV source, using Svideo connection, with iuVCR selecting "uncompressed" mode. A 10 second file is over 350Meg in size.

Click on "AuxSet.exe". A new window will pop up. Click on "install handler". You should now be able to frameserve.

Does that process take long - its just I have just tried this, nothing actually appears to happen, 0 frames are served, it creates a 1kb file which I cant load into TPMGEnc after a reboot.
