Artefacts (black squares) after xvid rendering

Tehdurid · 05-15-2007, 12:30 AM

Hi,

after I render my movie, when I view it certain parts of the movie are messed up by black squares and other strange artefacts.

It shows up randomly and sometimes it's just a little and other times its like the whole screen :/ I don't know what it is or how to fix it, any help would be appreciated.

Here's a pic

ps: I put the same settings as in the stickied guide except I'm frapsin in full size (1152x856 and I render at 1152x856 also). I don't have this problem when I'm rendering half size frapsed scenes 640x480.

Hmm, well i may not have an answer for your question. But i do have a question for you, you said you knew how to succesfully render a Half-Size video to make it look nice. Can you teach me please? Or anyone out there.. Once again i am looking for the highest possible quality using fraps half size, thanks

(xvid method)

running the game in 1280x960 to get 640x480 half size scenes, however the quality is way better when I render full size scenes (1152x856) that's why I'd like to get rid of these black squares.

Could you please run your xvid file through Gspot:

And post a screenshot of it here?

You could also try and turn off Global Motion Compensation in the xvid options before rendering.

edit: And the screenshot has black borders there, those are pretty bad for your quality. The correct resolution is 1152x864
