Help with encoding, vid included

jamrowls · 5 Mar 2007 at 19:37

Hello, I film RC car racing. Outdoors with the nitros and indoors following electric TC's all is well. However I now have a tripod and wide angle lense allowing me to setup the camera and record the entire track.

The problem I have is the cars move very fast and appear on the video as a set of horizontal lines. This latest video is encoded in divx with 2 passes and the quality set to 'insane' and whilst the background is now perfect the cars remain as lines. Please help!

Here is a direct link to the video, right click save target as its 184mb

VVVV If your intrested in RC videos see the front page

Hmn without downloading the vid (it'd take me a while), from what you're saying it sounds like you're encoding it with interlaced frames. Try using progressive scan in your output options. You should be able to change it in the same place you change the fps. I'm not sure, but you might also have to film in progressive, it'd be better anyway.

^^^ what he said, de-interlacing it should be fine

It was on progressive, I changed it to de-interlaced and I cant see a difference.

Well it wouldnt if it was progressive already

What settings are you using on your camera?

Export it from Premiere by going to File>Export>Movie, click on settings, then select keyframe and rendering and tick the de-interlace box, then export the video and use divx to encode it (you using Vdub I assume?)

We have a problem, I have deleted the source files.
Can it be done by re-encoding the final divx file?
Yes vdub to encode.

you should be able to de-interlace that divx file, try the different de-interlace settings in divx

codec properties>video>image processing> the options are progressive, de-interlace (I have tried both) and preserve (which I assume does nothing)

A bit of google-ing and de-interlacing filter downloading later and all is well. Thanks guys!
