Stretched / warped output

[Bio]

Hi everyone,

I started using XviD recently and have had success with a number of DVD conversions, however yesterdays attempt at 'Mulholland Dr.' resulted in an image skewed 45 degrees to the right with dancing red and green colours - i'm not particularly literate when it comes to descriptions, if it'd help i could try and grab a screenshot.

Right, here's all the information i think may / may not be useful:


Athlon XP1900 / 512 MB PC2100
Windows XP SP-1
XviD - 24062003-1 - Koepi's build
Gordian Knot 0.28.5
Codec settings in compliance with snowbeach's document:
'MPEG-4_XviD_Koepi_24062003-1_Encoder_Guide_ver20030702.pdf'
Mulholland Dr. - PAL DVD - 140 mins 31 secs
Avg. movie bitrate 1257 k/bits
Resolution - 716 x 380
Decoding with ffdshow build date May 23th 2003


If anyone can help / share useful advice i'd be most grateful,

Thanks! :)

P.S - Apologies if this question has appeared before, i did search but i guess you can never be too thorough. ;)

Hi-

It's certainly not an XviD issue. It's more likely that your crop values (not given) and resolution (only mod 4 for the Horizontal Resolution), combined perhaps with your vid card (Matrox?) is responsible for that. GKnot did not give you that resolution unless you messed with the W and H Moduls. Maybe some ffdshow settings also played a hand in this, but I don't think so. My suggestion is to reset the Moduls to their default 32/16 and start over.

Well, yeah - i have screwed around with the W / H Moduls, i'm not sure why i changed them but they've been left that way a long time. I'll flip them back and try again, thanks for the info!

I think it's a RESOLUTION problem.

In past, I wrong to set a resolution and I had the same problem.

If you use a mod 16 (or better 32) resolution (both vertical & horizzontal) it should be gone.

Bye

I had exactly the same problem as you and it is indeed a resolution issue
