TS to Avi (with XviD) = Weird result

[DaRtHmAuL]

Hi,
i've just reencoded The Matrix grabbed on the satellite with HD 1080i transport stream file and i decide to reencode it with XviD to backup on one DVD-R. The quality is very good but the first minute of the reencoded movie is weird. First images i saw are the last scene of the movie and they played badly. There are some green artefacts and it's choppy. What's wrong ?
I've encoded the *.ts with frameserving *.avs into MeGUI. When i play the *.avs or the *.ts with BSPlayer, there is no porblem. It seems that is happened during the encoding process.
Please help. Thanks very much.

bye

Since this isn't the psychic hotline, you'll need to post your script (and since it's probably directshowsource, listing the filters used - you can find out with graphedit - will probably help too). Then again, directshowsource tends to randomly do things like that, even with something as simple as an avi.

Hi,
first sorry for the delay of my response.
So, here is my *.avs script (used for The Matrix and Troy):

LoadPlugin("C:\Tools\Video\AviSynth\plugins\dgdecode.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\Tools\Video\AviSynth\plugins\TIVTC.dll")
Loadplugin("C:\Tools\Video\AviSynth\plugins\simpleresize.dll")
MPEG2Source("H:\HDTV\Matrix - [XviD-720p]\The.Matrix.HDTV.1080i.d2v")
tfm().tdecimate()
simpleresize(1280,720)

Recently, i've reencoded Troy with the same method using MeGUI and i got no video at all this time. I can't render the file with BSPlayer nor GraphEdit... 20 hours of encoding spend for nothing.

Thanks.
bye

I'm going to take a wild guess and say it's a problem with xvid_encraw (used by MeGUI) creating an output avi that is larger than 2gb in size. If your target size is larger than 2gb it's a good idea to use mkv otherwise there's a good chance the output avi will be unplayable.

Ok, thanks for the info.
So, if i encode with VirtualDubMOD, there won't be any problem, isn't it ? Because xvid_encraw.exe is not used.

Yes it should be fine.

[DaRtHmAuL]

I confirm. It's working great with VDubMOD.
Thanks
