HI all, Following up some cool feedback from a kind person who ran some 1.6.2 mplex/mpeg2enc sequences through a commercial SVCD stream validator I finally got a lead on the issue with motion artefacts when dual-prime motion estimation is active.
It turns out that under certain circumstances with rapid motion present in the source image the motion vectors generated can be larger than permitted by the 'f-code' in the picture header. This is exactly the kind of 'out of MPEG spec' stuff that can cause problems on hardware decoders but often sails through invisibly in the more flexible SW players. I am about 1/2 done a fix in the current developer branch of mpeg2enc: I've replaced the old reference encoder derived dual-prime code with a clean from-scratch routine but it now needs to be tested to knock out the coding bugs. In the meantime I'll probably put a quick-and-dirty work-around into the stable branch. cheers, Andrew ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
