Encoding problem - Flipped output

[Minster]

I sure hope someone on here can help me out with this problem, 'cause I really don't know what is causing my problem now.. Ok, as for the problem, when I encode a movie to DVD format, the output is vertically flipped.. And I can't remember changing a setting or something in even any program at all...

The encoder I use is CCE SP, and I have both the Combined Community Codec Pack and ffdshow installed. I just installed both last versions, but that didn't make a change though..
Nor did encoding with just one of these packages, or neither of them at all...-.-

Encoding with a different encoder didn't work either, and I really like this encoder as for the quality it produces, so if you could help me out with, that'd be great

Thanks in advance!

The file type, please (take in mind that .avi is not file type, it is container. The types could be found looking for the codec of the file in GSpot) and any other info for the source file you can supply.

Below are 2 images of 2 avi files that I ran through GSpot, what other information would you like?

I have read through all that before asking my question, but there was no helpful information in it. Not any information that would eliminate my problem at least. Installing/uninstalling ffdshow didn't work either...

Well, the fact that it states codec packs as the main cause of this issue, combined with the fact that you're using a codec pack, stands out like dog's nuts to me.


But anyway ....


I'd say your registry has some issues - codec packs tend to do that. If uninstalling either ffdhsow and/or the codec pack doesn't fix things, then you can get lost amongst the nightmare that can be registry repair, or take a workaround onboard.

Since you're using CCE SP, that means that you could use AVISynth to load your files, and there's a FlipVertical() command you can use to flip the output back up the right way. Doesn't fix solve the problem permanently, but at least gets you encoding the right way up.

If you are using CCE on anything that isn't DV-avi or DVD compliant resolution lossless then you should use avisynth to load the, IMO. Use FitCD to create a simple script, then load this into virtualdub to see if the video is still upside down. If it isn't, load the avs script instead of the avi file into CCE and encode.

[Minster]

Thanks for the replies, I think I'll have to go with Avisynth scripts then..

Is there any easy way of repairing my registry, or deleting all keys from those programs from my registry? I do have basic understanding of it, so it shouldn't be a problem..

[guns1inger]

The problem is that most codec packs park so much crap in your system, there is no way to clean them out fully without doing a clean install of Windows.

[jman98]

Isn't this just the "old codec problem" that is well known and used to have a sticky in somewhere in the forums? The solution to this is just to update your Xvid codec. I don't keep up with Xvid, but based on Gspot it looks like your version of Xvid is way out of date. Supposedly an update will fix your problem, which would certainly be easier than all the other suggestions you've had.

And if you actually read through the post you find that this has been pointed out, and rejected by the OP as not covering his issue.

What's the "Combined Community Codec Pack"? I have no way to know if this contains the latest and greatest Xvid, but the Gspot he posted sure doesn't seem to indicate that it does. He's only posted twice and neither post said he even tried to upgrade Xvid.

[jimmalenko]

I think you'll find that guns was merely pointing out that I'd referred the OP to that exact same sticky Mats did about 15 hours beforehand. I don't believe he was commenting on your suggestion.

Guilty as charged.

Either that, or Brrrring it onnnnnn

CCCP is ffdshow, haali splitter, vsfilter, mpc, zoom and a few spare bits.
no xvid

[Minster]

Bah, updating XviD didn't work either..

Thanks for all suggestions though, but damn.. still nothing works.
Also no suggestions on editing your registry, so that it's completely free of all those stupid codecs?

[45tripp]

CCCP includes ffdshow. Uses recent builds too.
The whole point of using something like cccp which is a good pack, is to have a specific ffdshow build that is well tested and has specific settings. Installing another ffdshow over it is most probably a bad thing.
You could install cccp without ffdshow and use a build of your choice but why?

Uninstall all codecs, packs.
Here's something to do in the registry if you insist.
Delete these folders:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\GNU\ffdshow
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\GNU\ffdshow_audio
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\GNU\ffdshow_vfw
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\GNU\ffdshow_enc

Re-install cccp and when it gives a 'reset' option say yes.

And what's flipped?
Just the mpeg2 or the avi as well?
Flipped when playback is done with what?
Does this happen with both avis you posted pics of?
I've only had this problem once with a very old divx 3 file.
I also had quite a few codecs installed. Don't remember what I did.

You could also re-install directx 9.
Check your display drivers.
unregister all directshow filters.

Best to start with a clean slate if things don't work out.
format.

I know this is too late, but:
Install the codec (not codecs) you need, as you need them. If a certain video wont play, identify what codec is in play (GSpot), and install that.
Pretty soon, you have a system capable of playing most videos, while not being full of conflicts and broken codecs.
If you can't open a PDF, do you hunt around for and indtall "J-Beam Document reader Pack" that fills your HDD with every document reader ever devised? No, you install Adobe Acrobat Reader.
