divx5 antishit?

[blahblah9]

Hi,

In Gknot after i press save&encode, under the divx3 tab there is an option for turning on antishit. I was wondering if anything simalar exists for divx5?

thanks in advance

In DivX 3 you could get so called "shit-frames", antishit was/is supposed to prevent this (don't ask me if it works, I've never used it). This problem doesn't exist in DivX 5, so no, there isn't any similar option for DivX 5.

Thanks for the info :)

The problem is I have done a rip using divx5 and it looks like it has shit frames in it ( i have attached a capture ).

The movie is futurama ep3 (from a dvd) encoded using 2pass divx5 and the decomb filter with Telecide(firstlast=true,blend=false). I have tried encoding using divx3 with antishit turned on and it gets rid of the artifacting produced (thats why I thought there might be a similar thing for divx5). However I am very inexperienced at divx3 rips and it is of a far poorer quality than divx5.

If anyone has any idea how I could get rid of the strange artifacting produced it would be much appreciated.

Hi-

Have you tried without using Q-Pel and GMC? Try with only the B-Frames enabled and see if that cleans it up.

Thats exactly what the problem was, i got rid of gmc and now it works perfectly.
Thanks for the help :)

It's good that someone asked this question, so I didn't have to ;-)
I'm just about to encode the Futurama DVD pack (PAL, region 2) and got exactly the same artefacts with Divx5.

I'm going to try it without GMC now.
I've already tried using Realmedia 9 which was perfect for the video but introduced some strange crackles in the sound, no matter what audio codec I used. I think this DVD set is the most complicated I've ever tried to copy so far...

btw. at this point I'd also like to thank Donald Graft for determining the right telecide settings (Telecide(firstlast=true,blend=false)) for this DVD set (in some other thread).

Yep, many thanks for the plugin & settings, rips are completly unwatchable without it and I would never have been able to work them out.

Without having read the thread you mention, isn't it just PAL 25 fps where it would be fine using fast deinterlace?

N_F, the Futurama PAL DVDs are not fully interlaced. I think they have been brought to 25fps from 24fps by inserting interlaced frames (something like that). There's only a few interlaced frames and if you use blending, you'll get a lot of ghosting. This doesn't look too bad I have tried Fielddeinterlace() with no parameters and it looked ok - but telecide(firstlast=true, blend=false) makes it fully progressive with no ghosting and it looks even better.
