Normally, I do the encode with Ripbot and quickly scan through it using WMP12 to make sure it came out OK. In WMP12, I get the major macro-blocking. I downloaded VLC media player to see if there was a difference and there is. WMP12 would show the blocking/pixelation always in the same spots and scenes. This macro-blocking in the specific areas is gone when playing back in VLC, BUT the overall quality is worse as the blocking/distortion will seem like it is starting to fade in- then all of a sudden it will snap off and the picture will look normal. Then after a time it will repeat the process of the distortion starting to appear, then disappears. The level of distortion varies. Any thoughts on my situation now, or have any of you experienced this and were able to fix it? |

WMP12 using MediaFoundation decoding, VLC has internals ...
Check with DXVA turned off as well (there was a DXVA bug that could cause macroblocking in certain versions) ... If the decode is the same with and without DXVA in VLC, then it's in the encode, in which case you will have to bypass MediaFoundation for the decode process before the encode :P 7ek |

play the file with something better
I've had times where VLC will do weird things like that - when it's not the file itself, just VLC's codecs try playing it with MPC and see what it looks like. you may not even have an issue with your encodes after all |

I also recommend MPC-HC. Can be downloaded over here. Very lightweight and powerfull with the ability to use external decoders like the ffdshow ones.
If you have problems with H.264 in MPC-HC go to "Properties -> Internal Filters" and uncheck the H264/AVC and VC1 filter to force external decoding by ffdshow (or others you've selected using Win7DSFilterTweaker). |

I also downloaded a version of the encode so I could compare it to the one I did directly from disc and it too had the same picture problems. Thus, it would seem that my encode(s) are fine. So, I either have some type of playback problem on my computer or some discs can't be encoded that well. Since I found that link in the Handbrake forums posted by someone else, at least I know I'm not the only one with this problem- it would obviously just be better if there was a solution. One other thing I wanted to mention is that I usually watch my encodes via Boxee Box on a 46" LCD and rarely notice any of the blocks/pixelation that I do on certain files when playing them on my computer (the blocks may not even be there when playing back via Boxee as I can't see them and they are pretty obvious on the computer). Not sure why that would be, but having the blocks on the computer doesn't really make sense as it is. Thanks for all the help! |

You also need to check if you have the latest graphiccard-drivers installed and you're running DirectX9c. Even if you're on Windows 7. You can download it here. P.S. What is the playing-length of the video, which size has the encode and on what resolution do you encode? |

The playing length of the video I have been testing most is 1 hour 45 minutes and I encode it to 720p (from 1080p bluray source) and the file comes out to 2.41 GB. This is done at CRF 20. Trying to do that now- can't find a program to edit out a part of the mkv- tried AVIdemux but it keeps crashing. Will probably just encode a chapter that has severe blocks, but it will probably have to be with Handbrake. |

Is someone out there who can test a file for me? I've tried it on 3 machines and MeGUI encodes it no prob, but takes 30 min. Ripbot does it in 7 with the same awesome video quality, but the AUDIO again is fucked up.
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=2YLKML76 is the file. It's bloated and I'm REencoding it into 175mb file. (Young Justice EP1) Settings would be 2pass to 175mb. HD 4.0 and AAC HE 64k. Thanks. |

@rc71
- In Ripbot encoding takes also 30 minutes ( 7 min PASS1 and 23 minutes PASS2 ) - Why did you choose just AAC HE 64K in stead of " copy stream " ??? However, Ripbot works perfectly , here it is ( btw , same resolution ) : http://www.mediafire.com/file/wqkf4d...0AAC-SLOMO.mkv Maybe you have some issue regarding softs , drivers or settings.... Try a registry cleaning and an antivirus cleaning , too ;-) or maybe a re-install Ha ha ha @klopsknoedel I've got it !!! He wanna us to encode it...he is lazy Last edited by benjyv; 17th September 2011 at 13:06. |

@atak SYNC issue.
Well that's good news at least. It must be something on my systems that I'm installing everytime. Appreciate the help. At least I know there is a fix since it's my system. Any ideas why MeGUI which, uses NeroAAC, encodes the audio fine, but not with Ripbot? I suspect the extraction. When had channel mix ups, Left is rear, right is sub,etc, the problem starts at the extractor, mp4box. @benjyv I checked out your file. Does look like it came out fine. Appreciate the time. As for the time... I'm lucky enough to own a i7 2600. Last edited by rc71; 17th September 2011 at 22:25. |

I've removed everything and just installed the latest AVIsynth, Hali and FFShow. Still have the sync issues. The only thing left is NERO. I'd hate to uninstall that. Anyone else who got to work have Nero on their system?????
Keeping in mind that most files I encode are fine. It's just some AAC and most AC3 files that give me issues. Last edited by rc71; 18th September 2011 at 01:02. |
