help with b/w movies... - Club CDFreaks

Edolo · 03-02-2003

Hi to everyone... sorry for my poor english...

I have to encode an old black and white film (Frankestein Junior) and I've tried Divx 5.02 pro and Xvid with poor success...

Can anyone help me? Thanks a lot!

No one can help me?

The divX black quality is very poor... black become dark green... any idea?

You might need to be more specific as to what 'poor' means. As for encoding in Xvid, I knows there's an option in global setting to 'enable grayscale' for b/w movies, but like I said, you need to be more specific.

Right!

'poor' means low color quality: black is not true black but dark green... white is not true white... It is light green...

maybe Xvid....

What filter do you use for playback? I had this issue with ffdshow before, but fixed when I switched to Divx 5.0.3 decoder. Try changing the playback filter first. If that doesn't help, tick on the 'enable graysccale' option in xvid when encoding. If the problem still persists, perhaps someone else with greater knowledge is willing to help?

thanks... I've just tried Xvid with the grayscale option on and now the black is true black... and the file is smaller...
