View Full Version : Movies get blocky at 1:09:30 min

I've been copying DVDs to SVCDs for about 6 months. Additionally, I created a Xvid of each DVD after the SVCD creation. I followed the Doom9 guide for Gordian Knot. Well, I haven't actually watched a full movie in Xvid until recently. For on a trip, I copied 6 Xvids to the harddrive of my laptop. I started watching one and it got pixellated or blocky (to the point that it was unwatchable) about half-way through. I then checked the other 5 Xvids. They did the same thing. I then realized that it happens at 1:09:30 minutes into the movie on all files. These files were created between May and September of this year using .d2v files generated through DVD2SVCD. An additional note is that the SVCDs all work fine.

I wasn't able to find any information related to this phenomenon in the forum. Please let me know where to look or if you need any additional information.

Thanks in advance.

You may accidently have enabled the "credit" options in xvid, disable them.

I checked the Xvid Default Codec Settings in the Gordian Knot Options tab and the credits settings were not checked for either pass. However, when I just set-up a new encode and got to the "Gordian Knot: Divx Encoding Control Panel" window, I looked at the Xvid Codec Settings and the credits settings were checked for both passes. Hopefully unchecking them here will fix the problem.

Thanks for your reply!

One question though, why would these settings be different than the Xvid Default Codec Settings? Do I need to check Xvid settings in both places?
