dvd2avi part image fuzzy

[kenshin]

i'm using latest version of dvd2svcd and last night tried to rip/convert a dvd and at the dvd2avi part the image is like the attached image

twice when at the tmpenc 2.57 part of the process it froze and the 3rd time i rebooted on a freeze, i lost my entire 18GB H: drive partition on my pc... which was FAT32 format

wondering if someone could shed like on this ?

I don't see any attached image so I don't know what the problem could be.

If the data on that partition is worth recovering than get R-Studio or something similar. I recently purchased it for $50 and recovered some important files that I lost when my hard drive failed. If you wanna recover those files than get a recovery program quick. You need to do it before you overwrite those sectors where the old data is stored.

yeah must be either attachments are moderated or there's something wrong with uploads...

can setting video bitrate too high ~2500 - 2600 have the effect i'm describing ?

Too high of a bitrate can cause playback problems on your dvd player such as skipping, freezing, or severe artifacts but it can't make the image blurry, though I'm still not exactly sure what you mean by this.

In any case, you said you notice this effect in dvd2avi right? So this is happening even before you transcode the files so bitrate can't be the problem.

Sorry I still don't fully understand what the problem is. Is it possible that the vobs were just corrupted during the ripping process? This has happened to me before and the video is severely distorted in dvd2avi and any encoding of the vobs freezes either the encoder or my computer.

well the strange part is the video turns up fine in tmpenc afterwards and the resulting mpg and cue/bin file mounted with daemontools 3.17 plays back fine.. just the dvd2avi part comes up blurry/fuzzy (like when you don't use overlay while using a pci tv tuner card)
