avi to mpg came out like sh#@#t using tmpgenc

[chickenhq]

ok it started out good but then after two min or so it started to get jumpy i mean you could not see the people in the movie clearly and sometimes lol you would parts of the people all over the screen like in the upper right hand side lol and so on..and it would also make this sound chip chip like it was skipping..

every movie i've encoded with tmpgenc has had this skipping thing what else is out there i tried panasonic standalone but it always came up with errors.
-------------------------------------------------
avi movie was
MPEG Layer-3,127 kBit/s, 44,100 Hz, Stereo
352 x 288, 24 Bits, 69025 Frames, 25.000 Frames/Sec, 91 KB/Sec, DIVXMPG4 V3
-------------------------------------------------
i encoded the movie to
Video-CD NTSC (MPEG-1 352x240 29.97fps CBR 1150kbps, Layer-2 44100Hz 224kbps)
-------------------------------------------------
computer spec's
win98se 440mb ram, 8gb hard drive. video card is 8mb sis 620

would it make any difference if i had a 64mb video card.. i just want it to look like a regular movie without any skipping etc.

DiVX files are video files that have already been compressed with a DiVX codec. The DiVX codec works well for lower bitrates, and is optimized for that purpose.

MPEG files do not work well at lower bitrates.

My guess is that the DiVX file you are using has a lower bitrate than a VCD-compliant MPEG-1 file does. When you transcode it to MPEG-1, you are trying to convert lower bitrate to higher bitrate, hence the crappy output.
