Encoding Disney

[smokeslikeapoet]

Trying to backup my copy of Snow White, yeah i collect Disney, i'm secure in my masculinity. Anyway using the default video settings for a one cd rip the video is very jumpy and has lines, I've encoded a few dozen movies but no animation so far? Does anyone know what the problem is?

I'd really be interested in knowing the answer to your question also. Hopefully someone who has experience encoding disney type movies can answer?????

@smokeslikeapoet:
No need to excuse. I´ve encoded several Disneys too <ggg>
But my source were MJPEG AVI I captured from VHS.

Your source is a DVD I guess ?
OK, what do you mean you see lines ?
Did you deinterlace ?

You should give more infos:
What source?
What encoder settings?
What AVS script?

To me the stuff with choppy and lines seems to be a problem of DeInterlacing. May be it´s original film with 24 FPS ?

Source is DVD, Using GKnot default settings, one CD rip (I alway do a one cd rip and adjust the resolution(size) accordingly) I've never ran into any real problems and I've done at least 24 movies.

I really don't know what the frame rate is. The source is animated, old style cell animation, not digitally rendered, Snow White is at least 50 years old. So I assume that movies of that type all have the same frame rate, but I've deleted the project and vob files to conserve harddrive space, I'll have to redo it before I know for sure.

I tried to encode the movie twice, the first time I didn't de-interlace. I don't really know what "deinterlacing" is as it pertains to video sources. I know a computer monitor refreshes horizontaly, top to bottom, drawing every line, a tv on-the-other-hand, refreshes drawing every other line, taking two trips to draw a screen. Is this what is meant by interlaced video?

Because the video was "jerky" and fuzzy at the edges (there weren't any horizontal lines that went completely across the screen) I went ahead and tried the "smart-deinterlace" option the next time, not knowing if that was really the problem or not. It did correct the problem by maybe 50 percent, but not enough to make the movie bearable to watch. I wish I could show one of you what it looks like, because it's hard to describe. This really isn't a live or death project, if I try to encode it again, it will be about 15 hours that I've been working on encoding one movie! If anyone has default settings to use for Snow White, Dumbo, Pinnochio, or any of those old Disney pictures, if you would post them I would appreciate it.

Sorry this post is so long. TIA.

Is it pal or ntsc? 4:3 right?

There are several versions around.

On the preview of dvd2avi did you saw any black lines? What was the preview saying? Did all steps right after that point? THINK! :-)

What was compressibility test result? Audio size?

Disney movies are easy to compress. If you follow the steps they will come out right.

I will be giving a try to 1400Mb with 2ac3 tracks.

Take care
