upside down video

[cLuELeSS]

Hi everyone,

Got couple questions:

A)
i just finished burning an avi file to vcd using nero and the most funniest thing i have ever seen happened when i played back the finished product on my dvd. It plays alright but the picture/video is upside down. It is so funny! :-) Does this ever happen to anybody before? if so what went wrong? how do I fix it? Is there any way I can salvage the burned/finished product vcd? (the upsided one); was 99 min cdr-what a wast of 99 min CDR. I doubt it but i hope it is possible to salvage it.

B)
My other question is, i already asked this before but no body seems to know the answer because i did not get any relpy yet and it is about distorted video play. Here is what happened:
I have downloaded an avi file. However, when i played it using micrososft's media player, the video/picture became like scrambled tv movies. The audio is there and perfect, and the content is there, but the picture is scrambled/distorted. Does anyone know what seems to be the problem with the picture? if so please help me how to fix it. I checked the frames for any errors Using VirtlDub and found no bad frame at all. The weirdest thing is when checking frozen frame using VirtlDub, the video plays normal and i can see it perfectly. I don't know what is going on please help!

Peace

I'm not sure exactly what is going on, but this is what I would suggest:

First, uninstall the codecs

Control Panel -> System -> Hardware -> Device Manager -> Sound, video and game controllers -> Video Codecs (Audio Codecs) -> Remove them manually (not the .dll and .acm ones)

Installation of Nimo Codec Pack

Select the following codecs / filters which are needed (IMHO)!

Video Codecs
Select all (except XviD)

Frame Servers
All

Audio Codecs
Select DivX, Frauenhofer, OGG, Windows Media


Direct Show Filters
Select VobSub, DivX Antifreeze, AC3 Audio Decoder and Morgan Multimedia Stream Switcher

There is also a filter here to correct upside down video!

Misc Stuff
Select whatever you think you need (DivFix is a very handy tool when you got a DivX with a broken index table)

Next, get this other stuff not included in the Nimo Codec Pack:

Nic's newest build of XviD
Get the latest binary (atm: XviD-04102002-1.exe) and install it!


OGG DirectShow Filter
Just Download and install it!


Elecard MPEG2 decoder
This is optional and only needed if you want to play SVCDs (MPEG2 encoded files) with any player other than a software DVD player like PowerDVD or WinDVD!

If you can't playback the DivX 5.0x files, get the newest version of DivX from www.divx.com and install it.

Get WMP9
Go here

Most of this was taken from Sharereactor forums

You may also want to get the K-Lite Pack from here

10 Jan 2003 11:20 AM I have a movie in XVID format. When I play it on my Windows XP with Microsoft Media Player 9, I see the picture upside down.
I have installed DIVX total pack as well as the ffdshow but it did not help.
Does anyone know what causes the picture to appear upside down??

10 Jan 2003 1:18 PM Same problem. I ran the .avi movie with WinAmp 3 and the damn thing was upside down. Have not got a clue. Don't get paid to know either. Let me know when you find out.

11 Jan 2003 1:06 AM Certain programs have picture invertion filters. I don't know if wm9 has it. Otherwise the source has done it that way as a joke (so you will have to download another copy from somewhere else).

11 Jan 2003 12:11 PM I'm brand new to this forum, but i thought i'd let you know i have the same problem, but it's only for one file!? It's messed up. I have a few codecs and i heard that the xvid codec could be the problem to have an upside down picture, well it still did the same thing after I uninstalled it! So I hope somebody can help us out!

11 Jan 2003 2:13 PM turn the monitor upside down? looks like the guy who did the movie thought it'd be funny to watch it upside or he was dislexic . . .

13 Jan 2003 8:29 AM I've heard that using YUV instead of RGB filtering when encoding the movie "can" cause this to happen. Does anyone know the validity of this?

14 Jan 2003 10:11 PM or you can convert it in like vdub and it might have a filter you can add to rotate the movie

7 Feb 2003 3:45 AM The ONLY prob i've had with upside down video, is when burning a divx file into vcd format. Nero will let this upside down slip through unfortunately. You must dnload a Divx2AVI converter and use that, THEN you can burn succesfully to vcd using Nero or whatever. As far as regular Divx playing upside down, check your player softwear and dnload all the codecs possible.. as far as I can tell, tucows.com has a divx2avi converter...

18 Mar 2003 8:02 PM I have had the problems with upside down video and sometimes I could convert the files using tmpgenc but now the audio in some files isn't the right format. I can view in WMP but upside down. Open NERO and the open the file in WMP and is right side up, still burns upside down though. Hope someone finds an answer or utility or something, pain in the gazoongus.

19 Mar 2003 8:07 PM I've had this problem, too. I would play an XViD movie and it would be right side up in all of my video players. I would burn it in Nero and play it. To my suprise it was upside down in all of my players. There are to relatively easy options opposed to reencoding. (1) Some people have uninstalled ffdshow and got it to work. (2) Click START> Programs> ffdshow> Configuration. Then, under the Miscellaneous options, check "flip video"

19 Mar 2003 8:20 PM Here's an odd way to cope with. Played movie in WMP, upside down. Opened NERO, played in WMP, rightside up. Shut down and restart, upside down in WMP, opened NERO and minimized it. Opened NTI CDMaker, burned VCD. Finished product is rightside up. I will sure try the ffdshow thingy though. Thanks y'all

20 Mar 2003 4:10 AM News Update. Nimo Codec Pack (specifically nimo50build8) seems to work MARVELOUSLY for anyone having trouble.. also,best prog out there for converting avi2mpg to avoid embarassing upside down vcd's is honestech mpeg converter v4.0. if making vcd's however, you'll probably want to use neodivx's avi splitter first. it'll split an avi file typically in about 4 minutes and let's you specify the max size per part (handy if ripping dvd's) but make sure you dont have any plans to use your puter for the next 296 minutes or so... oh yeah, make sure you grab newest directx, as well as xvid codecs as well. hope this helps everyone.. I went through a LOT of trouble to find this information
