weird bob problem

[gantengx]

Hi guys, i don't know what's wrong with my code...

AVISource("A Walk To Remember Trailer_d2v_vfapi.avi")
SeparateFields
Bob()

when i try to compress to divx with virtualdub i got
Video compression error: The source image format is not acceptable (error code -2)

that's so weird, coz previous one it works fine with me, last time i was using dvd2avi, but now i changed to dgindex, since i want to use mpeg2source, but after that i cannot convert to divx if i use bob (even for vfapi or mpeg2source)

what's wrong with that? how do i fix it... :(

thanks

I told you in the other thread that it makes no sense to precede Bob() with SeparateFields().

yeah, but last time i used to do that it works fine..anyway i removed the separatefields already but it still didnt work, i got that weird error (only if i convert to divx) but if i convert to uncompressed rgb it works fine

anyway, last night, i convert my movie to divx using the exactly same code and it works fine, but now it doesnt work, so weird....i'm just thinking is it possible because of dgindex? but i dont think so...

After you load the AVS in VirtualDub, pull up File Information and check the frame size. Make sure it is a legal value for DivX. It must be a multiple of, what is it, 4? I can't remember. I believe it tells you on the config dialog.

Do you understand what Bob() does and why it is silly to put SeparateFields() before it???

hehehe yeah i understand...i feel stupid huahuahuaha

well anyway, i check my frame size it's 620x256 (after i crop it) and it's legal for divx, divx ask for multiple of 4 for width and multiple 2 for height...

so weird..

btw, even if don't crop it still didnt work (640x360)

It's because your selected DivX profile does not support double rate video.

Use the Unconstrained profile. See here:
