divx 5.0.2vs divx 5.0.3

[kcella]

I recently upgraded to Divx 5.0.3 and noticed something that I cannot seem to understand. When I encode my DVDs now, the picture is jitters. In other words the picture jumps like it pauses for a split second and then resumes. It is very annoying and I never had this problem when using Divx 5.0.2. Does anyone have similiar problems or know of a way to fix it? PS: I use n-pass encoding (stopping at 2) and all my settings are same in both versions.

thanks,
Kevin

divx 5.03 is pretty buggy. I prefer using the new 5.05 because it has stable results and to me is a bit better than the previous 5.02

Do we have to update.? isnt most of movies are coded as 3.0x?

[chickeneater]

the most popular codecs are the divx 3.11a, 5.02, and up and coming 5.05, and Xvid.

go to www.divx.com/divx to see the newest

for the single purpose of playback you should NOT upgrade but use FFDSHOW as playbackfilter for all kinds of codecs like divx3-5, xvid or ms mpeg4 v1-3.
ffdshow provides best quality imho.

if you want to convert yourself, however, i'd most definitely advice you to upgrade to divx 5.05!

or try the latest divx codec called TAHANEA - i tried it yesterday and i'm very surprised by the quality of this *omega* state codec.

i am still having the same problem. it turns out that it is something about the particular dvd that is a problem. i tried an interlaced dvd and it worked without issue. but when i attempt the progressive, anamorphic dvd i get the choppy picture. i made sre it is encoding as progressive, so what other setting am i missing here? i am using flask mpeg, do you think i should try gordian knot?

I think that you must only uncheck double buffering in divx configuration

i ended up using Dr. Divx and got the movie to encode without any jitter.
