unexpected text in GKnot output avi...

[medawa]

The movie converted alright into an avi but there's a sort of counter superimposed on the actual video. Looks something like a frame counter that keeps incrementing...

any ideas what the problem is?

thanks...

Hello, and welcome to the forum-

Unless the counter is in the vobs like that (play a vob and check), then it's being put on by your player. GKnot didn't do it. Open the AVI in VDubMod to confirm that it's not in the AVI. Either check all the options in your player to make sure you didn't accidently turn that on yourself, or try a different player.

Thinking some more; if, when you open the AVI in VDubMod, you really do see it, then it's possible that a setting of one of the filters in the .avs added it. No filters with those settings exist in GKnot, but it's possible, I suppose, that you added it yourself, and then forgot to take it back out before doing the encoding. If you don't solve the problem easily, then maybe post the .avs you used.

You sure it wasn't a DVD screener you encoded? ;) Those ones usually would have counters on them since they are not the finished retail product.

Good one, unskinnyboy! I hadn't thought about that. But I'm sure that couldn't be true with medawa. All the Doom9 people have read the Forum Rules (http://forum.doom9.org/forum-rules.htm) and already know that Rule 6 prohibits discussion of illegally obtained movies. Don't they?

[medawa]

thanks manono for the reply...(and no unskinny, its not a screener :rolleyes: )

i checked the original vob and the numbers aren't there...
opened the final avi with Vdubmod and, yeah, the numbers are there just like in the player...

they look something like:

8885 ST:8885 IF:0
PVOP


that 8885 seems to be the frame count(increases pretty quickly)

the avs i used is:

please see if you spot the problem....

Thanks for the help guys, but i think i've found the problem:

http://img166.echo.cx/img166/5592/image11gp.jpg (http://www.imageshack.us)

i'll try encoding with the 'print debug info on each frame' disabled....

weird how it got in the defaults though, never messed with the advanced setting... :)

[manono]

I'm glad you got it figured out, because after going through the .avs I was stumped. That is strange, though, because I've never seen that debug box checked. Good luck with the next try. I'm sure it'll turn out fine.

[unskinnyboy]

Quite interesting. So -this- is what happens when you have that checked. It is always unchecked by default, so I have never tried an encode with it manually enabled. Will try one now..:)

[medawa]

indeed it does... tried it with it off and the output is sweeeet!!

:cool: :D :cool:
