Xvid Codec is Grainy.

Postby Beldyn » Wed Oct 11, 2006 9:14 pm

I recently updated my computer to make video editing easer. 1 thousand dollars later I have a C2d 1.8g, 2G 6400 ram, 240gig HD and a 7600 GT Geforce. When I finally got everything up and running, all of my music videos that use xvid are some reason extremly grainy. I've looked over the settings and I have seen anything I can place. Anyone have any idea whats up with this.

Is that an option inside of the Xvid settings?

This isn't an encoding issue I'm having, all the playback on the videos I already have on my computer are grainy for some reason.

have you reinstalled all of your old playback codecs?

Is the graphic setting different in some way than it used to be?

Does it do the same thing in different players?

Have you done all of your appropriate driver updates?

yeah, what he said. Update your xvid codec/ffdshow. Make sure some wannabe decoder like divx or something else isnt trying to decode something it can't.

I only installed the AMV App package and nothing else.

Have you, by any chance, increased your screen resolution in the upgrade? If so, your videos never looked that good to begin with and you're simply getting the effect of a better resolution (I know it sounds rather stupid to mention it, but i've had someone complain about a similar thing and this be the case in the past).

I'm postive that this isn't the problem. I'm going to have to Fraps and image of it and post it.

Well, I would take a screenshot but I can't get Fraps to work inside of the Windows Media Player. /arrgh

The images seem to imply that they are shadowing each other and lots of pixilation.

My guess would be that prior to the upgrade, maybe post-processing was enabled?

Does anyone know how to get Fraps or another program to take screen shots outside of a program? I'm still unable to resolve this matter and I would like to post a pic so everyone can see it. I'm just about ready to begin work on a new video idea but I can't watch any of the current videos on my HD without going crazy.

Thanks
