Xvid blocking problems

[Dagger38]

I have a series of avi's coded in Xvid , witch all have problems with randomly appering blocks in the picture.

The movies are all sharp , so not at all blocked , but random blocks appear on some frames , aspecialy on moving edges ...

How do i get writh of this??

try play with videolan, it has it own xvid codecs. do you get same blocks?

[Dagger38]

Allways knew you were smarter then the blackadder Master baldric...

installed videolan and the block come as with mediaplayer.

Wat i noticed is that the picture freezes for a second , and then the blocks appear.

So wy freezes the picture?

Try dropping them into VirtualDub or my preferred version VirtualDubMod and check for errors. You can also see the attributes of the file under 'File Information'.

It doesn't appear to be a codec problem, that's probably a reason Baldrick suggested trying VLC. But it may be low bitrate or errors in the file.

[Dagger38]

probebly to low bitrate (virtualdub: 1059 data rate (0.45 % overhead))

So..... nothing to do about that then , o... well...


Thanks Dagger

[guns1inger]

sounds more like corruption than just bitrate. Can you capture and post an image of said blocks ?

[Dagger38]

picture included .
The movie is mutch scharper but you get the idea of the blocks that appear...

That is caused by either corruption of the source xvid (most likely), or by issues with the codec being used to play it back (less likely). It is not caused by having too low a bitrate.

Ok... fun thing is that mij hole season is corrupted
Nothing to to about it??

Are you using the xvid codec, or something like FFDShow ?

Have you defragged your HDD lately ?

Have you scanned your drive for errors ?

Did you play your file from a CD-R ??? If yes, try copy them to your hard disk or check your cd-r for error with Nero cd/Dvd Speed or DvdInfoPro

My first tought was the xvid drivers i first had Koepi's driver pack , then the tsunami codac pack but still all the same.

Next i wil try to defrag and error check

Update: No change after defrag!

Do episodes from other seasons have the same prob? Other Xvids?
Maybe you'll have to uninstall all those packs you've instaled. They are nothing but trouble. All you need is ffdshow and the XviD codec that comes with AutoGK.

[skysi]

Not Koepi's! Use the the version bundled with AutoGK.
