terrible quality while making divx why?

[alstare]

hello,
After trying to compress short video using divx i can't get rid of this poor quality video. I red all the files how to do it and i used different codecs, slow, and fast. fast on 2000 kb, and 6000. (crispness 75 and 100) and low on 1000 and 2500 kb (75 and 100 also), overall video looked better on fast at 6000 but if you look at attachement jpg file i can't get rid of those lines that fallow motion of the girl's arm ? any help guys ? i'm giving up just don't know what else to try ? the original captured clip is in good shape.
Thanks very much for any help, and ideas.

Two things spring to mind.

What ratio is your original source file 16:9 or 4:3?
Default for most things DivX is 16:9, that is flask etc. If this is a home movie then you've probably recorded it in 4:3
That then raises the second query, is the file recorded NTSC or PAL, it looks like your recorded in NTSC and trying to convert it to PAL.
Your software package should have answers for both of these issues.

Hope I was some help.

What program are you using for the DivX compression?

[benderman]

That's interlaced video. You may have read about it in this forum. Use an encoding-programm that has an deinterlacing-filter. Imho the best software would be nandub/virtualDUB with the smart deinterlacer 2.7.

Batman porn ??? what's that lol. if i get a good clip i'll send you one over.

On subject, i'm using virtualDub, i'm not sure what ratio it is at but res. is 720 x 480, and i'm compressing at the same. I'll try that filter and see how it works out. Thanks for help.

Oh yes, the deinterlacing filter worked no more lines. Thanks Again. So much to learn so little time.
