    I have been trying to encode family guy using gordian knot, but my results keep giving me these wierd frames that look like this. (zoom in)

    there are horizontal lines running through moving parts of the frame, and it really affects the resulting video (looks rally bad). i have seen other family guy encodings and they DO NOT have this problem, so its something i am doing. I am using the original (american ntsc if that makes a difference) dvds as a source.

    i need help figuring out why this is happening. i think it might have to do with filters or something. here are some of my settings:

    xvid, ntsc 4:3, 480 x 720 res. i have force film on, and they frames are like this before i use gordian knot, they are like this from the rip using robot4rip. i used this guide for all my basic settings :

    unless the frames are supposed to look like that before encoding, robot4rip seems to be my problem.


    sorry for my noobish-ness, and thank you for input and help.


    ask and i will provide more info for.

    Those are interlacing artifacts. If it truly was film, then selecting source film would have avoided them. So I guess force film wasn't the correct option. At least not for the intro. Could be some kind of hybrid source.

    Yes, the source is 30FPS NTSC interlaced.
    You must make a 30FPS AVI at 640x480 (or 512x384 or whatever, 1.33:1) using only a de-interlace filter.
    No 'force film'.
    Regards
