What could be the problem behind this converted video?

[Unknown01]

Im trying to follow a tutorial that uses SVP's frame interpolation to make a 60 FPS video.

However, it seems there is something wrong with the video im using as a source for the whole process. When i use it with other videos it works flawlessly, but this video is different.

No matter what tool i use, the result will be something like this:



Forget the 60 fps tutorial, even if i use a software like Mediacoder or MeGUI to change the extension from MKV to MP4 or AVI the result is that.

I don't know how containers, encoding and codecs work but im going to guess the problem is somehow related to those.

Probably the resolution. What is it?

If it's only Mod2, make it Mod4. And what is the script you're using?

The resolution is 718x480. A pretty old video.

Mod2?
Mod4?

Not sure how to do that with MeGUI or MediaCoder.

And for the script im going to guess you mean the tutorial im following: Im using the script SVP generates.

Since you're using SVP I figured you're also using AviSynth. Apparently it uses it 'under-the-hood' so to speak. But yes, I mean the script.

And it's the resolution that's the problem. You should either resize it to 720x480 before doing the filtering, or add 2 columns of black to one side. To add the black to the left side, edit the script to add:

AddBorders(2,0,0,0)

which will make it 720x480 and your image distortion will disappear.

I added that to the script but nothing changed.

So i used handbrake to change it to 720x480. For some reason it is the only software that doesn't give me that weird result.

Now it works fine.

Thanks for the help.

It's the decoder that's having a problem with the mod2 width of the frame. Use a different source filter or force a different decoder for the source codec.
