    When i try to view a movie in wmp or winamp there r these little dots everywhere, but its only when its with real people i think. Sometimes in VLC media player the dots rnt there and sometimes they r. And when i try to burn the files i think the dots r kept and when i watch the video/movie its on the tv too. Could this be a decoder problem and how can i fix this?


    thanks

    i used teh windows xp video decoder checup utility and im using the Cyberlink SP/decoder, ummmmm for encoder does that depend on the file? i usually encode stuff with nero vision. but this is has been happenin kno with stuff i have downloaded. i tested this theory but downloading the short films from skype and they have dots on them now. so i think its a decoder problem or it may not. what should i do

    lets have a look at the file in question.

    where did you download it from?
    can you run it through avicodec anf then copy and paste the file properties into your next post?

    this seeems straight forward enough, how about we change your encoder to a more dedicated one if thats alright with you and then burn it with nero

    try this link.Load your avi into it and then press convert.Make sure you chage the directory where the converted file with end up.

    http://www.filepedia.com/video_software/dvd-r_tools/vso_divxtodvd_free.cfm

    this is the free version.There are better versions which have trials attached but lets see if this one makes an improvement first.Now once converted try burning your project at 4x with nero

    no probs, think it comes down to what type of encoder you use.I find the ones that arent dedicated but have heaps of other programs attached to them fail miserably compared to ones that are solely made for encoding............winavi isnt very good but mainconcept and vso stand out as exceptional.


    glad you are sorted
