When encoding to XVID - it sometimes happends to me that a perfectly good movie, gets awful, prro quality from for example 75% of it, and to the end..)
if this is the movie:
"XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXxxxxxxxxxxxx"
then "X" is brilliant fine quality, while "x" is poor, way-too-low-bitrate quality.
Does anyone here know why/how this is happening ?
I've tried to search for answers, but had no luck.
I've also suspected ChrisTV /(wich ca record to XVID) to re-initXVID, but the last time, I did not run that program at all.
Thanks.

you are probaply right !
I can have enabled credits in prevoius 1CD movie @ for example 1:30:00 , , and now when encoding this 2hr+ movie (2CD), I did NOT choose to encode credits in lower quality - but it might be "remembered" since last time and used anyway (?) (/bug?)
I will try to set the credits start at the absolute end, and reencode.
thnx so far.

ok, I set the "start of subtitles" to the end of movie.
rencoded , but the same happend, the interesting thing is:
both yesterdays (4wf_Movie.avi) and today's (4wf_Movie_1.avi) file have the same quality drop at exactly the same place 1:44:26
this is the 2:05:32 movie, before splitting (1.4GB)
As I am out of Ideas, I post my log, hoping for some intelligent life form to help me :)

Hi-
ok, I set the "start of subtitles" to the end of movie.
What does that mean? Try something. Open VDubMod. Then go Video->Compression->Highlight the XviD MPEG-4 Codec->Configure->Advanced Options->Credits Tab. Then see if "Credits at end of movie" is checked. If it is, then disable it (uncheck it).

Is your source is good in that places?
btw, OT: Do you have tripple processor system?. Amazed @ 50fps! :eek:
1- thnx, will check even harder for codec settings - I know DivX 5 has option to another bitrate for credits - but Xvid ?
2- yes, the source is ok, it's a DVD, and it playd from HD just fine beyond this spot.
3- It's a dual AMD , and it could go even faster, I have "always" ChrisTV runing - and ChrisTV + deinterlacing filters for TV alone takes ~20-30% of one CPU.
(ChrisTV could not be the reason- I changed it's codec to DivX- and verified with author-ChrisTV does not touch codecs'settings until recording)

I moved the "Start of subtitles" marker in GK to the end, in case it "remembered" the offset since last project. - it did not help.
the solution you sedcribed:
YES - it was checked ! "Credits's begin at frame 156609"
! wow, this means 52minutes ? - anyway - I will try to remove this option and recompress ASAP
thanks.
thanks to Tuning too, I that's what he tried to tell me :)

Yes, that's what he told you when he said:
You must have enabled credits with seperate bitrate, or similar.
You can also access that Credits Tab when you set up your first and second passes in GKnot. Those settings will "stick" until you change them, so don't forget next time. :)
