I have been trying to encode family guy using gordian knot, but my results keep giving me these wierd frames that look like this. (zoom in) http://img116.imageshack.us/my.php?image=famguy1kp.jpg there are horizontal lines running through moving parts of the frame, and it really affects the resulting video (looks rally bad). i have seen other family guy encodings and they DO NOT have this problem, so its something i am doing. I am using the original (american ntsc if that makes a difference) dvds as a source. i need help figuring out why this is happening. i think it might have to do with filters or something. here are some of my settings: xvid, ntsc 4:3, 480 x 720 res. i have force film on, and they frames are like this before i use gordian knot, they are like this from the rip using robot4rip. i used this guide for all my basic settings : http://www.doom9.org/index.html?/gknot-main2.htm unless the frames are supposed to look like that before encoding, robot4rip seems to be my problem. sorry for my noobish-ness, and thank you for input and help. ask and i will provide more info for.
Those are interlacing artifacts. If it truly was film, then selecting source film would have avoided them. So I guess force film wasn't the correct option. At least not for the intro. Could be some kind of hybrid source.
Yes, the source is 30FPS NTSC interlaced. You must make a 30FPS AVI at 640x480 (or 512x384 or whatever, 1.33:1) using only a de-interlace filter. No 'force film'. Regards
