Video upside down!!

[psp_3]

I am trying to convert the movie ENTRAPMENT (to SVCD) with TMPG 2.510.49.157.
I ripped the DVD using DVD Decrypter, made a DVD2AVI project and loaded that into TMPG to convert the video to MPEG2. AFter around 7.5 hrs I get a .m2v video file which is vertically flipped. The entire movie is upside down.

I am using the following template:
SuperVideoCD (NTSCFilm) - MPEG2 480x480 VBR 1950kbps.mcf
The only things I changed in this were the max bitrate (changed to 2250), the min bitrate (changed to 500) and the average bitrate (1750)

Can anyone tell me why the video is upside down?

Thanks.

It's not the template, the reason is a codec. Which codecs (or codec pack) do u use ?

What source do u use ?

Try de-install it and then install again, sometimes it helps.

Until I don't know what codec u use I can't help you.

Thanks for your reply ultradna.

I forgot to mention that I was using WMPlayer 6.4 to preview the .m2v file generated by TMPG. WM Player was playing the video upside down and flipped.
When I opened the file using my WinDVD player the video played correctly. So I guess the problem was using WM Player. Should an upgrade to 7.1 fix that?

Thanks...

[ultradna]

I'm not sure if the new WMPlayer will fix it, because I don't know it - I don't like the new player, I'm using 6.4

But I think it's only a codec error ... maybe WinDVD uses it's own codec? If everything works fine for you - okay, but your videofiles should work on 6.4 too.

Maybe you should check/update your installed codecs.

[ultradna]

By the way, ... I heard that you can change this error if you have ffshow installed - never did, but maybe that helps.
