Video scrambled in VirtualDub ... is it the PAL encoding?

Postby Vistian_Femto » Wed Feb 18, 2009 4:30 pm

I have the Samurai X Trust and Betrayl DVD's in PAL format. I am following VicBonds007's Guide to Rip the footage. I use DVD Decrypter to Rip the Files from the DVD. I use DVD2AVI to make the dv2 file. I use AVISynth (with plug-ins) to feed it to VirtualDub. When viewed in VirtualDub, the video is scrambled (CSS?). Could it be the PAL encoding that is doing this or may I have messed up a step somewhere. I double-checked my steps, but as I am new to this level of video file handling, I could easily have not thought of something easily known by a more knowledgeable soul. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am on a Windows XP P4 PC, btw.

Uhm, care posting a screenshot of the issue?
Also, vicbond's guide is outdated, you should follow THIS guide instead.

Certainly, how absent-minded of me. Thanks.

Uhm, either there was an error when you ripped, in which case I'd suggest you to try and rip again, or it might be some kind of conflict between avisynth plugins that I'm not aware of. You might want to wait for someone else to help you, but yeah, you should try to change from vicbond's guide in favor of the new avtech, for the time being.

I can try to rip again, but there is no problem when I view the VOB files with DVD2AVI. If I am using an outdated guide, I'll rehash and use the correct one. If anyone does know what is up though, I would appreciate the help, as I have so far :-). Thanks.

Certainly. Here is the AVISynth script that I used to pass the video to Virtual Dub.

Code: Select all
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\MPEG2Dec3.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\Decomb.dll")
MPEG2Source("G:\Kesnin - Closure - Project\trust.d2v", idct=5, CPU=4, iPP=true)


Thanks for any help anyone can offer.

Reindex the VOB(s) with DGIndex and see if that fixes it. You don't need the LoadPlugin lines either (and definitely shouldn't use them after using DGIndex because MPEG2Dec3.dll is severely outdated, and has been replaced with DGDecode.dll).
