Green screen glitch with edited mpg files

[vato76]

Hello. I recently formatted and reinstalled windows xp. I am trying to edit dvds that ive downloaded in iso & folder form but right now when i try to edit my mpgs the end result always comes out garbled with green pixelated screens between the cut scenes no matter what player i use. For editing dvd files i use videoredo suite & avidemux, but the files i cut with videoredo result in that garbled green screen between scenes, and Avidemux is also giving me different screen problems. I tried splitting the same mpgs with Boilsoft splitter and it gave the same result. I just tried TS files and it also had the same result. But ive edited avi's and wmv's with no problems at all. Is this a codec problem?

I use Kmplayer & vlc for playing & have installed the klite codec pack but i have not tampered with the settings. I was considering uninstalling the klite codec pack but decided to ask for help here first. Id appreciate any help. Thanks.

Codec packs are bad news.

So i take it i should just uninstall Klite?

VLC doesn't use installed codecs on your system, so if you get issues with VLC playback, that suggests the problem is with something else.

Videoredo shouldn't have any issues with cutting

When you re-import the cut segments into videoredo are there green glitches as well?

Is the source copy protected? Did you decrypt? Is the source damaged perhaps?

Bad memory stick or system /hardware issues?

Yes. I just tried it.

Source file does not seem protected. I have no idea how to tell if it would be damaged. But its more than 1 file. Its all the mpg and TS files ive tried so far.

Bad memory stick or system /hardware issues?

I have no idea. Like i said, i just formatted, and everything is pretty much fresh. Ive updated all my drivers and Wxp sp3 as well. Is there any tool i can use to get more info to post for you here?

[poisondeathray]

e.g. does the souce play back normally before editing ?

You could use memtest 86+ to check memory integrity, you could try occt, or prime95 to check system stability

You could try the files on another computer (e.g. friend or work computer) to see if they have the same behaviour or if it's limited to that pc

[vato76]

Yes the sources play completely normally on all players without editing.

Im not very tech savy here, Poison. How do i do memtest 86+ and those other things?

I only have 1 pc so i cant test it on another.

Not all TS files get the green screen when i edit them, btw. I just downloaded some TS movies and used avidemux to cut them and they came out fine, but videoredo still had problems.

I uninstalled Klite but it didnt fix anything. I installed ffdshow and tried changing the decoder filters for mpeg1 and mpeg2 but that didnt seem to do anything either. Heres a screenshot of a file i just made with videoredo where you can see the green screen between 2 of the frames:

When i do the same file with Boilsoft Splitter, there are no green screens but there are scrambled pixel glitches at the scene marks. Playing them in VLC still shows the glitches. I still cant figure out if this problem is codec related or program related. No glitches with Avidemux tho, which is strange because the other 2 never gave me this problem before, i cant understand why they would now.

Well, problem solved after i uninstalled & reinstalled videoredo. I guess the program itself was somehow damaged. Go figure. Thanks anyway Poison.
