I was having a problem encoding this one videofile, pretty much, it said that the framerate was 119 soemthing, and DVD2SVCD would said it would change the settings, but it never worked. I read up on that, and someone said VDub had an easy way to fix that. As far as that goes, it works, I can render it using DVD2SVCD. One small problem. I've been playing with the video settings and what not, but when ever there is a drastic picture change... like... it flashes these boxes that I presume are a part of the origonal compression (divx) or something like that. It's really brief, and it's legable with it, however, I would rather not have it there.

Not sure if I'm explaning this well enough...

Like... they are little boxes that flash in on the picture whenever there is a massive change in colors, I have been trying to read the guide of V-Dub, but I'm new to rendering, and don't know what that is called... can anyone give me a hand, or atleast point me somewhere?

N/m it was the video file..... this sucks...

...and don't know what that is called
Think, they are simply called BLOCKS... ;)

Why are blocks in there ???

Maybe because the bitrate of the source (understood that it was DivX, right ?) is too low !

Or the bitrate of your encode was too low !

Or both... !!! :D

When this blocks are already in the source, it hard (near like impossible) to get them out there !

When they are not visible in the source, increase the bitrate of your encode... ! ;)

PS:

Do you know how to use AviSynth... ???

When yes, try to transfer the input with post processing via the DivX decoder !

When not, learn it... ;)

AH GOD! this is DRIVING ME INSANE! why do SOME videos work one way, and others just don't want to work at all. I can friggan play them! I can watch them just fine! but I can't FRIGGAN encode them properly tomake them DVD'S! I have no clue how to even RUN avisynth or what ever it is, and all the guides tell me crap I can't understand... How the hell does it think it has 119 FPS! How the hell is that even possible!

Is there anyway I can just change the file to say it has 24 FPS, LIKE IT DOES! and not worry about it anymore! I've tried so many different ways with this one file, and it just won't work! and the file is okay! I have watched it several times with out error... here is what I do...

First, I use Dvd2svcd (with TMpgec) with AutoFitCD, so I get the box around it. Then I use this other program that I got from sony to render it agian, but it's smaller then. Now, NORMALLY when I get this 119 frames persecond, I just re-encode the file using dr. divx. The problem is, with this inparticular one, when I re-render it using Dr. Divx, it does it at a flat 30.00 FPS, which won't work with Dvd2svcd.

When I try using V-Dub, I get these little boxes when I re-render it, but after that, it works fine with Dvd2svcd. just have these crappy annoying boxes. People say use AVISynth, and I say I don't know HOW to work it. If I'm just an idiot, and missing something in the guides, if you could take the time to show me what guide I should look for... I will be ever in your dept. I will spend hours rendering a video to find out that it really doesn't work...

Not sure if this post really works in the V-Dub forum... but thats the problem I'm having. Someone said on the forum, it's easy to change the AVI framerate using V-Dub, and i tried that, the way he said, but like I said, I either get annoying blocks, or unsinced audio...

For a little more info, the files I'm encodign are Divx (anime episodes of Naruto from ANBU and TW, and this fiel just happens to be screwed up on both sides with the stupid 119 frames.) I'm gonna go consider starting to drink... 33 friggan episodes with little trouble, and now this... for some reason, not caring sounds good right now.

I'm not sure your posts belong here at all, since you seem to be talking about downloaded files. But my guess is that the true frame rate is 119.88, and that they were encoded that way to get around the notorious hybrid NTSC/FILM problem.

Fasubs? Legal?? Hahahahaha... oh noooooo!! They are a gray area. But I don't want to get into that... I just had to comment on that.
