convertxtodvd to tda

[marioval]

I converted an avi (divx) using convertxtodvd and it looked great, no chapters if that matters. I then imported the video_ts folder into tda to add a menu. The output took about 15 minutes with tda so i'm guessing it did not re-encode. I deselcted the video option to "always encode chapter into I Picture". I also deselected that option when creating my chapters in tda. The problem is that the output from tda looks very cloudy. Any idea how to prevent this? See the screenhot. convertx is on top, tda on bottom.

Did you look what you posted? There is nothing to see.
According to TDA specs., it can import DivX and convert to DVD on its own.

The pic shows up fine in my browser?? Anyway, tda never creates output with audio and video in sync. Thats why I use convertxtodvd to encode then tda to add the menu.

Yeah, they are like the size of postage stamps
There is no way to see any kind of detail in those tiny black photos.....

If people are too see any kind of detail you need to post something like this....



Not this....



Or this

[theewizard]

there is NO detail in his pix,

but it is plain to see the top one has more contrast and sharper edges, the bottom one is lighter more washed out

but TDA must have changed something when it processed the file or there would NOT be any difference in the (2) pictures

Well I also can't see anything, but if you are a ConvertX fan the almost ready version 3 will have greatly improved menu options. And if you paid for it within the last year the upgrade will be free.

As a side note to all the collectors of hard subbed Anime you will now be able to compensate for your overscan problems.

You can now download a pre-release version to try it out. Some nice new features as well.

Yes the pictures are small and you can't see detail but that's irrelevant. You can tell from the pictures that one looks black and one looks grey so something did change. Also I have tried convertx 3 and am very dissapointed with the new menu creator. it doesn't even let you customize start point for animated thumbnails. it does let you select the start point for animated background but it does not work according to this bug report http://forums.vso-software.fr/background-starting-times-t3440.html. Also there are many built in templates for menus but are all basically the same with different colors and different amount of thumbnails per page so theres really only like 5 menu designs. The encoding engine does seem faster though. But back to the problem at hand. Why did TDA change the video??
