My XviD is only 17fps. Stuttery.

[jcain87]

I'm trying to encode the miniseries The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy on to two cds. There are six episodes per disc for the two DVDs and thats what I'm trying to do now on to CDs. The problem is is that its interlaced, and my final video is stuttery and is only 17 average FPS. I used GK to make the avs, and used Vdubmod to encode seperatly. Here are the settings I used.

GK:
Simple resize filter
Field Deinterlace
no trim
no noise filter

VDubMod:
Fast recompress
h.263
chroma motion
adaptive quantization
Interlaced Encoding
Quarter Pixel
GMC
Packed bit stream
closed GOV

Also I am using Niltze xvid (why I'm encoding sepertly). If there is any info you need let me know.
THANKS

I doubt this is a problem with XviD...Have you tried playing the avs file in something like Media Player Classic and checked that it's outputing the right fps?

Also if your doing a FieldDeinterlace then their is probably no need for interlaced encoding mode in XviD to be turned on. So try turning that off.

Let us know how you get on...

I got the FPS information from classic media play. Says 17Fps and 0 dropped frames. So I know that the stuttering can't be the speed of the computer.

[jcain87]

Actually I made a mistake. The AVS file plays fine, 23fps. I tried again encoding without interlacing option in Xvid, and set Field Deinterlace in GK. Still the same reault. 17 to 18 FPS.

Hmmm, interesting, I know im missing something obvious but I can't think what. Would you mind posting your AVS file here...also what filter is being used to playback XviD? Have you tried using ffdshow, etc.

If you use GK it's a good idea to load defaults. This is because if GK tries to configure XviD, it configures the old XviD and this breaks new one.

I understand you only create the avs script with GK (this is why you say about xvid's config in vdub) but just one wrong click was enough for GK to do this part wrong...

Hope it helps,

ah I fixed it. I never really used fddshow before. So I just uninstalled it and now the video plays at 23fps. Thanks! By the way do any of you use fddshow, is it very useful?
again, Thank You

[jcain87]

I have another problem. With fddshow uninstalled the video plays at 23fps, but then there appears all kinds of glitches and every video player crashes. With it installed there is just the jittery playback and nothing else.

Oh I forgot, here is my AVS script.

Do you have the newest ffdshow alpha installed? If not try that.

Ffdshow is known to be buggy when decoding consecutive b-frames with packed bitstream, xvid's dshow is the best decoder currently.
