    Gknot is Hazy?

    Problem:

    Encoding with Gknot with a 2CD file size the end product is always hazy. Not blocky like other programs i have used. For example around a person there is almost like a halo that surrounds them. And a blue sky is hazy like it is swimming kinda, and yes i am using the sharp feature in Gknot.

    My solution lies in creating the DVD2AVI project properly i think but the guide here is for PAL and the guide at doom is missing some fields. For instance this is what happens when i try to create a DVD2AVI Project:

    Aspect Ratio 4:3
    Frame Rate 29.970 fps (NTSC right?)
    Video Type alternates between NTSC and Film with the % changing by the minute! It starts out NTSC 35% & Film 65%. After waiting for about 10 minutes it seems to stabalize at Film 94%. Should i force film or just pick none and select the IVTC option in GKNOt later?

    Essentially i am looking for proper settings for DVD2AVI, for the above requirments, is there a guide somewhere for creating a DVD2AVI project for NTSC Film 94%?

    By the way i have experimented, using the pal guide here results in no error messages and a hazy movie in the end, using the doom guide results in a error when i try to open the DVD2AVI project i Gknot.

      since i dont have ntsc material at hand that do need ivtc (i got some ntsc titles, but they were FILM only and thus no need for additonal steps) i have no way of properly testing other routines to add them to my guide (in case you were referring to my guide at all? http://www.atlandide.net/~uncasms/ ).

      i will try and get hold of different ntsc material and test a little more but cannot help you much at this point.

      i do not understand though, why you face error messages when sticking to doom's guide?

        Actually i was able to encode a movie using the doom guide finally without any error messages. I think because i reinstalled the divX5 codec helped that part out. However no matter which manual i follow, using forced film or not i get hazy movies.

                There is certainly a great enjoyment to achieve a very difficult task as Gordian Knot, Also I understand which choose that way. For my part, poor Boeotian, I rarely reach the end with this tool,
                "un marteau pilon pour enfoncer une punaise" as we say . Also I prefer easier tools as Xmpeg, after some experiments I have resumed in "Tips and Tricks for Xmpeg 4.5 at http://forum.digital-digest.com/show...hreadid=10564. for millions of Boeotians as me

                Good luck !
