encoding issue driving me fucking NUTS *help me & I will release boobs - GoFuckYourself.com

brentbacardi · 07-31-2010, 09:37 AM

I have a 1920x1080 video I rendered out of vegas as an avi. Now I have tried like 4 different flv converter programs and they all keep rendering the final FLV video slightly squished from the sides with very tiny black bars on the left and right. Why is this happening? I know I have the aspect ratios right (since ive tried them ALL with each program) it keeps popping out the same....

any ideas would be appreciated! If I get the right answer I will post a hot boobie pic!

Try using Adobe Media Encoder.

If that fails, try check your source vid out in Final Cut or something and see what's going on.

Ok trying Adobe encoder now, didnt realize it was one of the million things that came with master collection lol

Hmm, Its acceptable now. Just displaces a black bar at the top of the player but the video isnt squished or anything... so i guess its fine... i think the encoders i were using were CRAP... thanks man.

Theres my gfs tits...

Glad that was helpful. I encode all of mine with Media Encoder.

a lot of encoding tools have settings that can be tweeked beyond the normal settings

Vegas is known for its Black Bar issue, im not sure why
But if you need more help ill be happy to get you in touch with our Editor which im sure can tell you how to get arround that in the future.

Your problem is probably related to pixel aspect ratio. That's the aspect ratio most folks don't know about, or forget about.

Sounds like the PAR is slightly not square. With the right tools you can determine if the PAR is 1:1.00000, or something else.

Also sounds like all the other FLV encoders were all based on FFmpeg. If so, that would account for the same errors you got. Where FFmpeg gets its PAR information probably depends on the specific codec you used. FFmpeg is known to get it wrong sometimes, but if you use the command-line interface to it, you can tweak just about anything.

In any case, don't use FFmpeg anyway. It encodes to a very old, and now obsolete, FLV format. You want FLV VP6. You get that with Adobe Media Encoder, On2 Flix, and Sorenson Squeeze.

Say after me: ALL FFMPEG-BASED FLV ENCODERS PRODUCE CRAP.

ya, pixel aspect ratio. try using "square pixel" 1:1

Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants think about that
