I just read afew guides about .h264, and was going to test it out...
So I rip a Samurai X DVD, DGIndex it, Go through VirtualDubMod clean it up.. (everything i usally do) then export it with lagerith lossless codec... So everythings fine, nothing went wrong.

Now I load the .avi I got from VirtualDub into Vegas, everything looks fine in there, but then we I export it through Vegas with lagerith it gets all frame skippy, so I try huffyUV, same thing <_> i try... xvid, same thing.
I dunno whats wrong, none of my other exports do this, but film from this dvd does. I checked all the settings over, theres nothing (i dont think) that could be doing this in vegas. (btw its also adding a boarder, lol any idea how to get that off?)

Heres a screenshot: TOP - Vegas, Lagerith Export. Bottom - VirtualDubMod, Lagerith Export.

any idea what could be wrong? Heres my script if it could be that...

Code: Select all

mpeg2source("D:\SAMURAI_X_REFLECTION\VIDEO_TS\h264 project.d2v",ipp=true,cpu=4)
telecide(order=1,post=2,blend=true,vthresh=30,back=1)
decimate(cycle=5,mode=2,quality=3)
assumefps(24)
temporalcleaner()
msmooth(threshold=6,strength=4)
tweak(sat=1.2)
mftoon()
converttorgb32()
Crop(8, 8, -8, -8)
LanczosResize(752, 416)

this looks like a result of setting blend=true in telecide.
although you are ivtc-ing your footage, blend...well...it blends footage together to make smoother motion (noticable at lower speeds)

other than that...jerkiness tends to arise from decimate (deletes 1 of every 5 frames by default).
I can't help but feel that there is a workaround/better/different way of doing this, but I have to eat (can't answer all of your questions...sorry)
*runs away*

Vegas will also blend frames like that if you have it set to "best" quality.
