View Full Version : Blocks on playback

Apologies if this is in a FAQ/search but I didn't see anything obvious when I looked.

I'm encoding some TV captures using the XviD-1.0-RC3-29022004 binaries and I'm seeing blocks when I playback (WMP or ZoomPlayer). I look in the registry and see that XVID is linked to xvidvfw.dll and I don't see the blocks when I load the file into VDub and scan through it. I'm guessing this means a DShow problem but that's just a WAG.

The blocks are not the small macroblocks but rather each one measures up to about 10% of the vertical size of the frame. Sometimes they look like they're part of the frame but sometimes I've seen colors I don't expect (though maybe left over from a previous frame).

Any ideas? Anyone else see this?

Thanks all.

In case it matters, I'm doing a 2-pass encode with the following: AS@L5, 5kbps, MPEG-Custom (6of9HVS), no Adapt Quant, no QPel, GMC, MSP6, VHQ4, Chroma Motion, no Turbo and everything else basically left as default.

check your filter list, see what zoomplayer is using to decode the xvid file. you wouldnt happen to have ffdshow installed would you? another person was reporting a couple problems using it to decode 6of9-hvs matrix, but i think that was attributed to the weird resolutions he was using..

Doh. Uninstalling ffdshow seemed to have done the trick.

Thanks!
