I got a problem

I converted a video from .mkv to avi format then load it to adobe but it became like this... there are moving things like people etc in the background.

but if I played it to media classic player it is normal and no error.

How can I solve this error?

Lots of thanks guys

that looks like what you get from using low-bitrate divx or *shudders* .rmvb

what program did you use to do the conversion, and what codec did you use to encode the .avi?

I used SUPER v2007 by eRightSoft

Used Mpeg-4 Codec

Also there are no sound I used MP3 output audio codec

Haven't seen that program... But I'm sure that your problem is in your codec. I would just suggest using some AviSynthing,VDubModing and lossless codecs,like Lagarith or Huffyuv. Lagarith takes up less space than Huffy(almost 3 times less),but requires faster machine to playback.

mpeg4 is generally not for editing. Not to mention that you're loosing quality by re-compressing the video with a lossy codec.

you might save some time by disabling the audio conversion (unless you are using the audio...in which case I suggest using 44100 for the sampling frequency and .wav output)

if it has the option to generate a lossless avi file, use it.
If it doesn't, VirtualDubMod can handle mkv streams. You'll want to use Lagarith to encode the .avi
Lossless files are big, but you won't have video artifacts (like the ones in the cap you posted)...unless of course they were in the video to begin with.

you can try making your clips in vdubmod...but I don't know how frame accurate it will be since you're using a .mkv file

WOW its difficult I have no idea on how to use those program tried installing it then comes many question on how applying, executing it.

I've done that with my Love Hina .mkv footage for my latest vid. All you need is just a simple DirectShowSource() AviSynth script,set fps parameters,and rest cleaning up is up to editor to decide.

This is a script I used for my Love Hina :

Code: Select all

DirectShowSource("L:\Anime Footage\Love Hina *.mkv", fps=23.976)
ConvertToYV12()
KillAudio()
deint = TDeint(mode=2, mtnmode=3, blim=100)
TFM(cthresh=4, pp=2, clip2=deint)
TDecimate()
Deen("w3d",2,3,5)
FluxSmoothST(8,7)
BlindPP(cpu=4, quant=8)
vmToon(strength=24, xstren=128)
aWarpSharp(depth=8)

Where '*' there shoud be episode number (01,02,03,etc.). Rest filters are just for basic cleaning up.

In other words - just DirectShowSource you footage,and use VDubMod to create clips-just as Kariudo suggested.

Ah damn,no edit button

There's no need for you to use those filters,if you think your footage has high enough quality.
