Pixelation/Video Lag .mp4 (ffmpegsource)
First off, visualisation of the error:

Video:
http://www.sendspace.com/file/bqvze0
What I'm trying to do:
Turning a .mp4 file into .avi to swap the audio with a higher quality version and re-encode as mp4.
What didn't work:
- (Avisynth) ffmpegsource in Virtualdub => caused the error you see in the samples
- Same script to encode .mp4 file directly to .mp4 with swapped audio in zarxgui
=>
Any idea for a fix/alternative?

Update your ffmpegsource. That looks like a 10-bit encode run through an 8-bit-only decoder.

I just recently downloaded and installed it (it hasn't even been 2 weeks).LantisEscudo wrote:Update your ffmpegsource. That looks like a 10-bit encode run through an 8-bit-only decoder.

I'm having some trouble on understanding which of the listed downloads is the newest (except for the beta) and/or which I should use though.

Do use the beta.
By the way, if all you need to do is just have a higher quality audio, you could just remux in mkv and swap the audio like that. Avoiding a useless re-encode would be a better thing when possible. Or I guess you can remux to mp4 again with yamb if you so desire, but I personally prefer mkv over mp4.

Well, that didn't work. The error didn't disappear.mirkosp wrote:Do use the beta.
This on the other hand did the job! A very simple and easy method to swap the audio. Thanks!mirkosp wrote:By the way, if all you need to do is just have a higher quality audio, you could just remux in mkv and swap the audio like that.

P.S. I'm still curious if anyone knows how to fix the ffmpegsource-error and why it occurs!

Just making sure we cover all of the bases...
Does your source line look something like this?
You must make sure you are loading up the video with the correct command/plugin, otherwise you can update it all you want and it will never change.
Does your source line look something like this?
Code: Select all
ffvideosource("c:\yoursourceblahblah.mp4")

ffmpegsource("D:\[Kevmaster] Ninja Nature (H.264).mp4")
I've just tried out some other .mp4 files. It seems that the error appears only with newer .mp4 encodes (regardless wether it's my encode or a video I downloaded). Encodes that were made longer time ago work just fine.

You are using ffmpegsource() for your source line.
You need to use ffvideosource().

Re: Pixelation/Video Lag .mp4 (ffmpegsource)
Indeed. ffmpegsource is the old v1 ffms, which hasn't been updated in ages. I'd recommend removing the old one (ffmpegsource.dll) from your plugins directory so you don't accidentally use it any more (the current one is ffms2.dll).Cannonaire wrote:You are using ffmpegsource() for your source line.

Added both .ddl and .avsi to the plugin-directory and each without the other.
