Slow Down When Lost Of Movement Onscreen

[Oppressa]

Whenever my DivX 3.11 encoded movies show a lot of movement on the screen such as a crowd cheering (Bring It On), sparks in a welding/fire scene scene (eg fight scene near the end of The One) or lots of air bubbles rising through water (intro to Ghost Ship), there is loads of slow-down and skipping of frames.

Is this just a 3.11 problem? Is it common? Is there a way to fix it?

"Is this just a 3.11 problem? Is it common? Is there a way to fix it?"


1) Have you encoded these DivX v.3.11 movies yourself?

2) Were they encoded with the FastMotion or LowMotion version of the 3.11 codec?

3) What bitrate was used?

4) What are your system specifications?

5) What player (and what version number) are you using?

6) Have you tried adjusting the "CPU usage" slider of the 3.11 codec?

1.Yes using Flask (resulted in The One and Bring it on errors) and MPEG Mediator (resulted in Ghost Ship error)
2.Fastmotion
3.910
4.P4 1.7, 256DDR, Kyro II on a Hercules 4500
5.Windows Media Player 9.00.00.2980 (problem also occurred with DivX Player 5.02 (not sure if that version # is right)
6.Where is the usage slider?

Try using Windows Media Player v.6.4 instead (Desktop>>Start>>Run then type "mplayer2.exe" [without the quotation marks]). Then, when running the movie (NOT fullscreen), rightclick inside the video image, select "Properties", click on the "Advanced" tab, scroll to locate the DivX v.3.11 codec and doubleclick on it. You'll then see the controls.

However, based on your system's CPU, I rather doubt that this is the problem - although the performance may improve using the v.6.4 Player. I'd sooner believe that if there is REALLY INTENSE action, you may have to simply encode at a higher bitrate...

(It's still worth your while to check out my suggestions first)

Thanks for the info, will give it a try!
