MPG to DivX help!!

its kinda nice we get mythbusters here on FTA, ain't it? i think in other countries its on pay tv (discovery channel)

anyways if you are going to be doing a lot of capturing, likely you will run into some interlaced stuff. you'll know its interlaced when you get some jerky/blurry movement when its been encoded to xvid, or you could easily tell from the 'fluiditity' of the video. programs like the news on all channels, rove and neighbours are all interlaced.

you'll likely need to do some form of deinterlacing when encoding to xvid. post here when that day comes

Yep its fantastic that we get some great shows on fta

I was talking to a friend who has austar, and was talking about stargate and the new season, he told me that austar is only on season 5 or six, and channel 7 has just finished season 8!!!

Anyway I thought that all the digital channels were already interlaced.

There was something about it when I followed one of the guides on how to encode with xvid, it said something about deinterlacing with GordianKnot. Is this the case or am i missing a really crucial step?

[anonymez]

aussie shows are generally interlaced, american shows are pretty much all progressive (film). interlaced sucks. take a look at the news. the motion is very fluid. then take a look at a US show, such as ghost whisperer, which is on tonight i think. its not as fluid.

don't do any sort of deinterlacing unless the you know the source is definitely interlaced, and until you know what you're doing

This is the guide that I used http://www.divx-digest.com/articles/...rdianknot.html on step 13 with the heading "Field Operation" it says that you should remember what kind of frame type is being used, in my case it was and I selected Field Deinterlace, it says fast deinterlace, but i think it meant the one I used.

[anonymez]

like i said before, don't use deinterlace unless you know for sure. dgindex always reports aus tv as interlaced. its incorrect.

So how can I find out if its interlaced or not?

[anonymez]

the answer was in my previous post

you'll know its interlaced when you get some jerky/blurry movement when its been encoded to xvid, or you could easily tell from the 'fluiditity' of the video. programs like the news on all channels, rove and neighbours are all interlaced.

a good site to learn about interlacing http://www.100fps.com

hi anonymez, im wondering if you can help me with a color bleeding problem, it only happens with bright colors, usually red or bright green. Also if I want to increase the shapness of the image, do i just increase the resolution?

Oh btw happy new year to you mate
