Blinking green line in lower right corner

[JohnMK]

I just finished encoding 'About Schmidt' and noticed after the encode a blinking green line in the lower right corner about 40 pixels wide by 2-3 pixels high. I've never seen this before at all and I've been encoding for about a year. It's not visible when I just play the avisynth script in media player, but after XviD encoding it is present. I tried both Koepi's default XviD decoder and ffdshow's -- same result. I also tried DivX mpeg-4 -- same result. :( idct=2 doesn't fix it.

MPEG2Source("D:\In Progress\Schmidt\VTS_01_1.d2v",idct=7)
Crop(6,8,-6,-12)
LanczosResize(688,368)

I'm using Nic's mpeg2dec3 1.08.

Does anyone have an idea at what may be going on? Is this somehow related to closed captioning or something of that sort?

Is it visible in vdub, if you put a converttorgb24() at the end?

[JohnMK]

Nope.

EDIT: Wow. Weird. Decreasing the resolution to 512 x 272 eliminated the issue. Hmmm.

[sh0dan]

If it doesn't show up in vdub - evn after internal conversion, it is most likely no an AviSynth issue.

I have noticed this problem with early builds of ffdshow, where it occured sometimes when a resize was set. This was with standard 640x widescreen resolutions. It's probably something in xvid.ax or ffdshow.

[sh0dan]

FourCC is DIV5, so xvid.ax will not be used for decoding. Looks fine in ffdshow.

So - not an AviSynth problem. Please continue this thread in the appropriate forum.

2001'th post - nice number :)

Im getting it in MPEGs I convert,so I think it is an AVISYNTH problem.

Funny though,I only get it in batch encodes?!

Anyone else?

(I was using 640x480 in script and downsizing to SVCD in TMPEG)
I did 6 clips,and 2 had it..3 didnt,but one has a very tiny pixel flashing)
Im going back a version and double check.

Beta 2.5.1 solved it.....weird.
