avi playback problems in wmp

[TheBlueTree]

Hey I got this avi file from my dvd I ripped and stuff...

When I look at it in windows media player the video like... lags... it's all skippy and what not, I'm wondering if its because I didn't change the fps or is it just to big a file for poor windows media player?

TheBlueTree:

We can't answer your question without more information. What procedures and tools did you use to create your avi? Can you provide a short sample?

(If this turns out to NOT be a framerate or IVTC related problem, I will ask the newbie forum mods to move your question and any other applicable followup posts to its own thread.)

[TheBlueTree]

how should i send it to you? photobucket? hotmail? somethin else you would perfer

[jggimi]

I sent you a PM several days ago with a couple of options, and never heard from you. I'll be unavailable for several days, now, so if you are still having trouble, and do not want to wait, see http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=96362 for suggestions of where to place a sample file.

@TheBlueTree

1) Load the original video file into VirtualDub (or one of its many variants) or NanDub

2) From the "File" dropdown menu, select "File Information"

3) Post (here) EVERYTHING you see (BOTH video and audio information), or post a screen capture .jpg of the information box

[TheBlueTree]

Ok here is all the information in the "file information" window, I am useing virtual dub.

Video track:
Frame size, aspect_ratio_information: 720x480,29.970 fps (33367 u.s)
Fps, # of frames: 38541 (21:25)

P frame min/avg/max/total frame size: 1104/43922/117664 (32859K)
B frame min/avg/max/total frame size: 296/8853/73040 (222137K)

*edit* Oh and sorry I didn't notice the PM earlyer

Number of I, P, and B frames: 3213/9635/25693This information makes no sense regarding an .AVI file. How did you create this ".AVI" file?

[TheBlueTree]

Ok this is what I did.
I converted the dvd useing dvddycrypter into the vob file.

Now I open up virtualdub and drag n drop the vob onto it.
A window pops up asking about multipul audio streams I picked the first one - Dolby AC-3 Audio (substream 0x80)

Now its importing it as an MPEG2 file

Then I goto "file" "save as..." and then it goes through the video...

[setarip_old]

To clarify my earlier suggestion:

1) Load the .AVI into VirtualDub (or one of its many variants) or NanDub

2) From the "File" dropdown menu, select "File Information"

3) Post (here) EVERYTHING you see (BOTH video and audio information), or post a screen capture .jpg of the information box

By the way, it appears that you're using VirtualDubMOD...

[TheBlueTree]

OK, Now that I have VirtualDub 1.6.15 there is a new problem...

When I drag and drop my VOB it pops up this:
MPEG import filter: invalid pack at position 3: Marker bit not set, Possibly MPEG2 stream.

I am a noob and I do applogize.

[setarip_old]

Do you or don't you already have an .AVI file that you created?

If you do, then please follow my request in post #9 in this thread (Post information about the .AVI, NOT about a .VOB)...

heres the info, i hope this is a good enough picture...

The reason it's "it's all skippy and what not" is because you've saved it as a totally UNCOMPRESSED video - and your system (and virtually ANY system) is incapable of playing such a file smoothly.

1) You have to download and install a video codec (e.g. DivX or XviD).

2) Then load the uncompressed .AVI into VirtualDub (not VIrtualDubMOD - because instructions for accessing the audio would be different)

3) From the "Video" dropdown menu, select "Full Processing Mode and then select "Compression" - and choose the installed video codec

4) From the "Audio" dropdown menu select "Full Processing Mode and then select "Compression" - and choose "MPEG Layer 3" (.MP3) and select the sampling rate you prefer

5) Save with a new filename

By the way - The information you've now provided for the .AVI is for an entirely different video than the one you initially provided MPEG information for. Why is that?

[TheBlueTree]

I think when I posted the virtualdub MOD info it was the VOB no the AVI file that I had, I don't know how I did it but it was just differnt for some reason lol. Thank you so much man I'm a noob for sure but you stuck your thumb out and kept on truckin!

[setarip_old]

Thank you so much man I'm a noob for sure but you stuck your thumb out and kept on truckin!Does this mean that, by following my instructions, you have now created a properly playing compressed .AVI?

If so, congratulations! My pleasure ;>}

[TheBlueTree]

Everything works fine, Except I have spoken to early it seems. The audio doesnt sync properly with the animation. The animation is to slow. Have I chosen the wrong audio sampling rate? Or do I need to do something else. If I need to do something else I'll create a differnt thread of course.

Secondly I used VirtualdubMOD to convert my VOB to AVI, Should I continue doing so? Seeing as I cannot load my VOB's into Virtualdub. I just would like to know if there is a simpler way, VirtualdubMOD might even be the reason why the audio is out of sync...

[TheBlueTree]

Sorry again for the double post. I have redone the file entirely useing VirtualDubMOD making sure i corrected all the compressing and what not. Everything is super awsome now. audio is in sync and everything works!

[setarip_old]

Chances are you'll soon be teaching others how to convert and compress their videos ;>}
