Hello. I'm encoding Babylon 5 from DVD to x264 and in one episode I have strange error frames. I uploaded 13 second cut so you can see how it look like. link: http://rapidshare.com/files/248898407/sample.mkv.html

software used: megui 0.3.1.1033-0.3.1.1044 i don't remember exact version
avs script: # Set DAR in encoder to 31 : 17. The following line is for automatic signalling
global MeGUI_darx = 31
global MeGUI_dary = 17
DGDecode_mpeg2source("E:\Download\torrent\BABYLON5_SEASON1_DVDs\VIDEO_TS\VTS_01_1.d2v", info=3)
ColorMatrix(hints=true, interlaced=true, threads=0)
Load_Stdcall_Plugin("C:\Program Files (x86)\megui\tools\yadif\yadif.dll")
Yadif(order=-1)
#crop
#resize
fft3dGPU(sigma=2, precision=2, sharpen=0, plane=4)

what is causing these problems??
Thanks.

Does it happen when just playing the script in VirtualDub?

If yes, remove everything but the source filter. Does it stillhappen?

I don't see any issues in the sample you uploaded...

megui latest version is 0.3.1.1046. x264 latest version is rev. 1173. please UPDATE to the latest versions before thinking to post.
also, megui does not encode... it's a GUI for encoders. so, your problem, in the worst case, may be related to x264, avisynth or the decoder used... but not directly to megui.

The scene cuts for a single frame to an alternate camera angle. That is likely also the case with your source. Please check.

When playing avs script everything looks fine. I'm going to encode it once more with newer x264. I will report then.
Sharktooth: I was encoding it with latest tools available then. And I know that megui is only a gui, I had to decide to what section post this, this seems as a logical choice.

Edit: new encode is without issues, anyway thanks for your help.
