Since the day my Master in Divx encoding,the Moonwalker, taught me the ways of the Gordian Knot I have encoded several movies.However although I am using sharp bicubic combined with a low noise filter, I keep observing slight horizontal lines at the edge of objects which spoils the quality of the movie.This happens even in 32bit color analysis.Why is this happening?????? :confused: :confused: :confused:

in my view i really cant see the point in using sharp bicubic with a noise filter when using neutral or soft bicubic resizing would give the same if not better results

your problem might be some residual interlacing..

I think that sharp bicubic is the best resizing method.It may not compress very well but it has the best quality from all other resizing methods at least in my own eyes.

The problem might be the encoding resolution.If it has been encoded at 512 x XXX for example and you resize to 1024 x 768 to see the movie there will be created horizontal bars(lack of video information)..

Playback upsizing filters are based on interpolation, therefor there could never be 'a lack of video information'.

You should try a deinterlace filter (maybe even Swap Field Order in DVD2AVI?). I've never had to use one so I don't know which is best.

And if the movie isn't interlaced and are still horizontal lines? Is there a possibility to be a gfx problem? ie the drivers for the vga?

As I have already said,I am having problems encoding lately.All of this because of those very faint but distinctive horizontal lines at the edge of objects that realy spoil the quality.So I went to a friend to show him my latest movie and puff!!!No problems on his computer or at least not so obvious.I have the latest drivers for my computer,what is going on? :confused: :confused: :confused: :mad: :mad: :angry: :angry: :angry:
