Encoding from OGM to Mpeg isnt fun, need help!!!!

[tentako]

Well, i had downloaded some OGM files, and encoded some right away, and not all of them due to lack of space on my hard drive. I have recently gotten a DVD burner, and have burned them to DVD-R. They are amazing quality and there is nothing wrong with the OGM files, nor the ones i encoded then, but now, when i try and encode the rest of the OGM files, there are large pixels on my screen whenever the screen changes; ie. from the kitchen, to the fridge. I am using TMPG Enc. and have run out of ideas. Ive also burned my vid (with the pixels) to dvd, just thinking, and hopeing that it was jsut my decompressor giving me trouble, but it showed up on my dvd player as well. Please advise!!!!

instead of tryting straight OGM-->MPEG try virtualdubmod whcih can handle mkvs and ogms, and save the video stream as an avi (direct stream copy), then mpeg that..

what are the video stream specs (codec etc)
use gspot for ogms
