Distorted Quality???

[a745]

Um, it's sort of my first time to use AGK with my videos. All of them are uncompressed, including the audio. But when I compress them (both Xvid and DivX), the end result is that there are these green vertical lines on most of the mocing characters (it's an animation). No, it's not the same as those horizontal lines you get when the video is interlaced, and I already deinterlaced the videos. I tried doing it with another PC, and it worked fine. but with my PC, the same thing happens again and again.

I don't know what's wrong... Is it because I installed some components before that may trigger it to be like that? Before, I installed something called AMVAPP from animemusicvideos.org...

Also, when I try to install avisynth, it keeps saying that avisynth.dll cannot be written in the file (C:\WINDOWS\system32), and that i need to make sure it's not write protected or something. The same happens when I install VobSub.

Can anyone help...?

Um....

BUMP

BOUNCE

Someone please help T_T

reboot your pc
be sure you are adimistrator
as first thing don't open explorer but go to control panel\add remove programs and remove avisynth,xivd, vobsub and autogk
reboot
reinstall full autogk (and so it will install xvid/avisynth/vobsub)

if this fail

reboot in Save mode and do again

And open one of those problem videos in VDub(Mod) to make sure it's not a playback issue. If you don't see the green, it's not an AutoGK problem.

Okay, will try those.

Um, this happens to be a stupid question, but I'll ask it anyway.

How do I enter Safe mode in the PC?

usually hit F8 several time during boot

Um, I did what you guys said. (Reboot, opened in VDubMod), and the quality's still down. Here're a few screens of it:

Also, I noticed that when I open it in players (DivX and WMP), it says "Error Downloading Codec" (Internet's offline), but I'm sure all DivX and Xvid codecs are installed properly...

Anyway, my friend's getting a new PC this SUnday, so we're going to try it there. Hopefully, the problem will be solved...

Hi-

I don't see the vertical green lines you spoke of, or are they very subtle, and not so obvious?

I do see an encode that didn't get a high enough bitrate. Do you have the log for one of these? And I may be seeing the results of a bad standards conversion (PAL2NTSC or NTSC2PAL). If that's true, even the source should look bad, with that blending or overlap of 2 frames.

[a745]

That's cause the vertical green lines only come out when I convert uncompressed AVI. The screens up there are XVid AVI, then I converted them again. The quality really was down. And I set the target quality to 100, so I kind of figured that the bitrate was high enough (um, what's a log...?). Actually, the source was perfect too (no pixels and stuff).... I also tried converting another video that was DivX already(Sorry, I don't have screens T_T), and the lines did turn up again >_<...
