DVD Ripper 8.0.4.0 - jerky, pixelated video from Zune wmv profile

[bjm051593]

I'm trying to use the DVD Ripper to go to a Zune profile - 2 pass encoding to WMV. The resulting playback is dropping frames and showing pixelization - this doesn't start immediately but once it starts (maybe 5-10 minutes into the video) never corrects.

I've tried playback on multiple machines, encoded different videos all with the same result.

My A/V codec is set to software for everything (that's all my video card supports).

This same profile used to work fine in previous versions though it's been a while since I've used it so I don't know if it was v.7 or v.6

Using xxxxx to encode the same DVD works just fine, only DVD Fab seems to have this problem with WMVs.

Any ideas?

Try using one pass instead of 2 pass and post the most recent internal and process logs located in document-dvdfab-log

I tried both and they are pixellated and jerky and it is with most apps tried avi same tried wmv same as well

[bjm051593]

I tried 1-pass WMV and the video wasn't jerky - but audio/video were not in sync.

Attached is a log from 2-pass.

Hi,bjm051593
Can you list your setting about 'zune.default' ?
Thanks a lot.

Here you go:

Encoding: 2-pass
Fixed Bit Rate: 600kbps
Split: No
Framerate: 29.97 fps (this will match the source)
Deinterlacing: checked

Resoultion: 320x340 (depending on the source)

Audio Bit Rate: 96kbps
Channel: Stereo
Volume: 100%

Subpicture: Direct Render (displaying forced captions only)

Same Issue

This sounds exactly like the problem I have run into. I noticed it with the release of version 8. As version 7 is not removed when version 8 is installed, I have tried going back to 7, and 2 pass conversion to zune (wmv) works fine. When I try the same conversion in version 8, the video skips and freezes. I started a thread here: .

Hi bjm051593
Thanks for your information,We'll fixed it ASAP.
Add:The max frame Resoultion of Zune is '320*240',why you set '320*340'?
Good luck.
Joe

[bjm051593]

the 340 was a typo - should have been 240

Frame resoultion depends on the model of Zune being used. Older models use upto a maximum of 320*240 i.e. 8, 30GB models. The ZuneHD can handle 1280*720 frame resolution .

Hi Justin,

I just convert a DVD iso to wmv file using V8078beta-DVD Ripper-"zune.wmv" profile, the result is i can play the output file in window media player with no pixelattion. Which player software did you use to play the output wmv file on your computer? Have you tried to manually change the video framerate in Common Settings window?

[Justin]

I used VLC media player by far the best player out their and i don't think i changed the framerate. My dvd is pal 25 000 fps

Hi Justin,

I have reset video frame rate to 23.976fps in conversion settings, please try this mannually change to see if you can get output file playing well.
