Hi, I'm new to this encoding business so apologies if this is a well known problem.
I have an NTSC video (on laserdisk) which I am trying to convert to Mpeg2 30fps. I used lavrec -d 1 -q 100 -a 0 -i n m3%02d.avi to record the video from my DC10 plus card, and the resulting video is not too bad. For a sequence of 5 frames, the first 3 are ok, then the second 2 have a comb effect on vertically moving objects. I can't tell if this is on the original video as my laserdisk player does not support pause nor stepping. If I encode this using: lav2yuv m30?.avi | mpeg2enc -f 8 -o mach3.m2v Then the resulting video is quite blurred and suffers badly from the comb effect. If I use the yuvkineco program : lav2yuv $@ | yuvkineco -F 4 | mpeg2enc -f 8 -o mach3.m2v Then the comb effect seems to go, but for a cycle of 5 frames, the first 4 frames look good, but the last frame does not move - the video stutters. If I play the avi file with glav it looks quite good, i.e. the "flicker" reduction (not using -F) seems to do quite a good job. What is this flicker reduction and how can I get it with lav2yuv/mpeg2enc....? P.S. This is the Mach3 video game disk, some screen shots are on my site: www.boldtower.com/mach3.html -- scott <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Boldtower ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Etnus, makers of TotalView, The debugger for complex code.
