VideoReDo - Small amount of video trash

ozbear · **20th May 2008, 05:27 PM**

I have been meaning to ask this for some time...

I use VideoReDo mostly to cut classic video tracks out of shows.

I notice that after doing the Select Start, Select End, Trim Unselected, Save As xxxx.mpg
that on playback through VMC I always have one line of white speckles at the bottom of the playback. They do flicker, and are always there in every cut I make. It's almost as if the last line of the frame isn't being completely generated. It loos like this (snipped from the bottom of the frame :

Anyone know some setting in VideoReDo that will stop them from appearing?

That's really odd, Oz. I do pretty much the same thing as you and I've never seen this problem.

I'll take a closer look...

It looks like the wide screen signalling data you see on channel 10 when using a STB letterboxed on a 4:3 TV (you also see it in other TV card apps - DVBViewer for example).

I suspect that MCE/VMC actually masks it in DVR-MS as it's expecting it to be there (knowing that it's a broadcast derived signal), but it doesn't mask it in MPG as it's not expecting it.

I also assume you're running with no overscan (even in MCE/VMC)?

Hi Oz,

I have just checked both HD and SD mpgs made from recorded TV files and I don't have those lines. I am using MCE 2005.

Here's a screen cap of a black transitions screen from 10SD - is it the same?

Looks like it to me....notice how it kind of disappears off to the right, just as mine does.
And yes, no overscan.

Well, that was from a 10SD recording that's still in DVR-MS.

Are you sure that you're seeing this on non 10SD source material?

My stuff is from 10SD (pretty sure)...Video Hits.

OK. It's just the 10SD widescreen signalling data (as outlined in my 1st post). No fault of VRD, it just doesn't get masked in MCE/VMC when it's in an MPG (while it does in DVR-MS).

i.e. it's present in the DVR-MS, you just don't see it.during playback. Play a DVR-MS from 10SD back in WMP & you'll see it.

Justin,
Fair enough. Are there any VideoReDo settings I could adjust to get rid of it?

I know there are probably VideoReDo forums but wouls rather rely on advice from people that have a track record of knowing what they are talking about than a bunch of "strangers"
