Quality of XviD decreases significantly for the last 10 minutes of movie

[drinkmorecorona]

Hi All,

Until recently, I have been encoding DVD rips with XviD with no problems (thanks to Doom9's fabulous guide). However when I encoded my last two DVD rips (Rounders, Rat Race), the encodings were fine in the beginning, but the quality suddenly decreased for about the last 10 minutes of either movie (the image became very coarse).

I don't think I have changed any settings since the last time I could produce fine encodings, at least not knowingly. Also, I checked the settings for credits, and it was not activated in GKnot.

Software used: robot4rip (dvd decrypter, dvd2avi, BeSweet), GKnot, Doom9's xvid guide.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks

No that's what I thought at first, but it's not activated.

I'd try the these steps after following the procedures in the bug posting guide, (if nobody knows which version of xvid you use it might be difficult to help)

Instead of using gordian knot run Virtualdub or vdubmod doing the two passes and see if anything changes.

Try encoding just the last 15 minutes of the video and see if it still happens.

Nice nick by the way.

I meant in Xvid, maybe its activated in the codecs settings itself.

I suggest you load the default settings for your xvid codec and try again.

:cool:

Besides it's still summer and warm, go out and have some fun.
