Hello everyone I have been trying to get avi-divx files that I have d-loaded to play on my MVP(with GBPVR) since forever, it was either the video was ahead of the sound or wouldn't work at all "but everything played fine through the Hauppauge software", Now I have upgraded to the latest release of GBPVR and my avi-divx files do play and the sound is in-sync but now my video quality is extremely blocky and the screen seems to be "blown-up" "enlarged" so that for instance on CSI you can barely see the CBS symbol in the corner. That is the problem that I am having and I have read till my eyes hurt. I have been working on trying to fix this for about 5 days or so and have run into a dead end. I have tried messing with the config.xml file on
"<MVPFFmpegTranscodeCmdLinePAL>-y -i "{SOURCE_FILE}" -b 2400 -s 352x288 -vcodec mpeg2video "{DEST_FILE}"</MVPFFmpegTranscodeCmdLinePAL>
<MVPFFmpegTranscodeCmdLineNTSC>-y -i "{SOURCE_FILE}" -b 2400 -s 352x240 -codecmpegvideo "{DEST_FILE}"</MVPFFmpegTranscodeCmdLineNTSC>" changed it to that and that didn't work, if anyone has any solutions or suggestions I would be greatly appreciative thanks for any help.:confused:

The defaults look good for me on my setup.

All I can really suggest is, experiment further with ffmpeg until you find a set of parameters that look good on your setup. You can find documentation on ffmpeg at http://ffmpeg.sourceforge.net/ffmpeg-doc.html

@cmwiedz

hi, I have the same problem as you,
what have you changed to get it working ?

thanks...

[cmwiedz]

I changed the values in my config.xml file to this
<MVPFFmpegTranscodeCmdLineNTSC>-y -i "{SOURCE_FILE}" -b 2400 -s 338x220 -vcodec mpeg2 video "{DEST_FILE}"</MVPFFmpegTranscodeCmdLineNTSC>
Hope it works!

thanks,

but I hasn't changed anything postitve.
the only thing happened is that the picture isn't on the right place on
my tv.

the output file created on my pc is ok, but on the mvp the picture is brocky etc..

I have exactly the same problem as an other member reported:


[HTML]I'm having problems transcoding using the new FFMpeg feature. The transcoding seems to work, but the quality when played back on my MVP is poor. The output is very blocky, like the bitrate is very low.

I can play the transcoded file on my PC and the quality/bitrate is ok. Playing back the transcoded file manually in the MVP produces poor quality as well.

My own recorded mpg files work fine on the mvp, it's just the FFMpeg files that the MVP has trouble with. Any ideas? [/HTML]

how do I use ffmpeg with media mvp? does it help me to play avi?

[pimboli]

!! FOR ALL THOSE WHO HAVE THE PROBLEM WITH THE BLOCKY MOVIES !!

use these settings:

<MVPFFmpegTranscodeCmdLinePAL>-y -i "{SOURCE_FILE}" -b 2400 -r 25 -s 352x288 "{DEST_FILE}"</MVPFFmpegTranscodeCmdLinePAL>

<MVPFFmpegTranscodeCmdLineNTSC>-y -i "{SOURCE_FILE}" -b 2400 -r 25 -s 352x288 "{DEST_FILE}"</MVPFFmpegTranscodeCmdLineNTSC>

the problem is that PAL uses 25 frames, and some files downloaded from the internet use 23 fps
