Horizontal lines appearing on womble output video

[Acehit]

Does anyone have a solution to this?

I have captured some video off my sony 1080p camcorder and since my computer hasn't got the horse power to handle 1080p files, I have to alter them to 1280 x 720. I do this through tipard video converter, from which the result is fine. Now the problem appears when I input that file into womble mpeg editor and export it, the exported video has horizontal lines during movement. I have attached a sample of the output, can anyone help fix this?

Any particular reason why you are doing twice the encoding (converting).
I see that tipard costs 40$ and the womble around 140$ which is total around 180-200$. You can do all this in free or much cheaper ( and probably better) programs.

How can PC not have power to play 1080p files, but has the power to convert that same 1080P files into something else doesn't make much sense. Why don't you leave the file as is and find better player maybe.

Once to convert the file to 720p and 2nd is to give me the final result with editing. my pc cant handle 1080p files. Womble is extremely user friendly, do you know any other video editing programs that are better. Not advanced but I'm looking for something really basic and simple.

Secondly, the artifacts are very similar to the effect you see when interlaced material is improperly resized.
What did Womble do? I thought these kinds of editors only re-encoded around the cut points.

This is not mpeg, it's AVC HD. Where does Womble comer into it?

1:1 crop from your 720p25 file:


Never heard of Tipard. How about a sample or MediaInfo log of the original 1080p camcorder file?

Somewhere along the line you had interlaced video.

Ok here's what I am trying to do. Let me start from the beginning. I am shooting a video using my sony 1080p hd digital camcorder, I then want to transfer the files on to my computer where i can edit them, add sounds etc etc. Now since my computer cant handle 1080p files, I have to convert them to 720p and I am doing this via tipard. I then want to put them into womble so I can edit the footage and then export it.

Now I have just now shot another footage, and that isn't running well through tipard, its very choppy so something aint right there. But that aside, all I am trying to do is shoot video, edit and export it to a decent enough quality with my edits.


Yes I have a log attached right here. If anyone can just advise me the simplest way to run my operation I would be so thankful.

The report flags the 1080 source as interlaced. Can't you provide a short sample ?

[Acehit]

Sure here it is.

[davexnet]

Thanks for the sample. It does appear to be interlaced, it is 1080i Vs. 1080p.
and it can't be resized using "normal" methods".
I don't know whether the Tipard converter is producing good output or not. Have you
looked at the Tipard output to see if it contains the error?

To see this artifact clearly, you should look at a sample that has steady movement - it shows up much better.

In some cases, you may want to keep the interlacing, but for posting to youtube or similar,
it can be (should be) de-interlaced.

Basically I am standing still throughout the entire video, so I dont know if I can find a better example. Tipard isn't doing much justice with this, if all fails I will just have to do without the video footage. Is there any other video editors besides womble that are easy to use?

[jagabo]

It looks like 25i to me. 50 fields per second video packed as 25 interlaced frames per second. Converted to 720p50 (no audio)...

[Brad]

There are a lot of issues here.

Your 1080p camcorder recorded in 1080i50.
You converted this to 720p25.

Even if you got rid of the lines you would be throwing away half of the motion information present. Is this a video you want to actually use, or a workflow test?

[vhelp]

yeah, what kind of video are you trying to make anyway ?

and how are you planning (or expecting) them for playback (software players, stand-alone players, internet streaming, etc) ?

are you creating documentary videos ? or just home videos to show family and friends ?

Hey its ok I sussed it out, I inputted the source file into xilisoft video converter and then from there I put it into womble which right to the end result, didnt have any lines. There's just one thing, it displays the time and date in white text right on the picture, which is really weird, because its there on some programs and not others.

[davexnet]

Perhaps the xilisoft deinterlaced the footage. Which model of Sony camera is it?
We see this problem quite often in the forums, it always results when interlaced footage is resized
without first deinterlacing in one way or another.
