ok..i have encoded videos for gp32 many many many times before...

i don't like ripping from dvd as that takes way fricken long and craploads of effort...

so instead of ripping it from dvd i downloaded kill bill...but the video is all choppy...its hard to explain...like...the characters are all over the place...they just won't hold still...its like it goes 2 frames forward and 1 frame back...

its hard to explain...it is xvid if that helps...

but when i play it in vdub it is perfectly fine...but when i encode it it gets about 20% done and gives me an effor message... <_< something about the file might be corrupt...

how can i fix this? or can i fix it? am i sol?

you could go to the virtual dub video errorhandling settings, and tell vdub to ignore every fault, you might get a scrambled image from time to time, but if the file plays okay, you'll probably get a good result too :)

unless you're stuck with a similar problem like me, i got a divx from matrix revolutions, it plays perfectly, but when i try to reincode i with vdub, the divx codec vdub uses always performs an out of memory exception :'(
can't do much about that (even errorhandling doesn't cover that...)

Converting from DVD is so much quicker and easier than downloading the movie, and you are likely to have a lot less problems
 
I don't know a lot about this sort of thing, but it sounds like a PAL/NTSC problem.

If you converted for some reason from one to the other, then the change in framerate causes 'padding' every few frames.

The effects of this arn't to bad (but noticable) so if it's really jumpy then it's something else.
 
No, I got that problem as well when I donwloaded Kill Bill Vol1. How did I sort it? A mate went down the local car boot and bought it from there :D (I didn't think that much of KB1 - it's just your average QT rip off of any HK film you care to mention with a bigger budget than that available to HK directors).

Apparently, FDDplay or FDDshow or something similar may clean it up, but I think it does it at run time - so I don't think it can clean up and encoding.
 
If you dont want the whole thing with crappy downloads, just rip the DVD. It maybe a little longer in time but its a just a case of luck if you download a good DivX movie.
 
Buy the dvd from a retail store with an X day no-fuss money back refund policy.
Rip it uncompressed so you can fiddle about with it at your leisure and just return the dvd.
 
have you ever heard of a rental shop?

Nah but really, i had this problem with a simpsons ep i was encodeing, i dont know what it was though cause i just kept tryin and it went ok one of the times.
 
huh...oddly enough, encoding it without the error thingy worked fine... :unsure: it isn't jumpy anymore...sweeeeeeeeeet :D

thanks for all of the help! ;)
