Hey guys,
Just a quick question, we were encoding our videos and there seems to be red artifacts present for around 10 - 15 seconds some time during the video. The videos where created using the method posted here. I was just wandering if someone else knew another way to encode the videos hopefully stopping the red artifacts from occuring.

Cheers

Hey there!

If you use ffmpeg2theora, make sure that you use -v 10 for quality setting. If that is not enough ( happens sometimes ) you can decrease the Keyframe interval using the "-K <int>" option. -K 1 for example would make a keyframe every frame, but then the video file gets huge of course, but for short animations it doesn't really matter.

Hi Spellbreaker,
I'll see if your method fixes the problem and I'll let you know.

I had the same problem too.

Just as a small hint, for any complete beginners like myself who had to figure out to run a program from the command line, ( stop laughing programmers, there are such people out there)

first open a command prompt window
by going start menu>all programs> accessories >command prompt

then you need to navagate to the folder that you have the ffmpeg2theora.exe
and the file you want to convert

to go to the c drive type in "C:" and the  prompt will change to

c:>

then you need to go to the folder that has your video in my case "videoconv" on the c drive. so you type

"cd videoconv"

then your prompt would be

c:/videoconv>

in your folder you should have the ffmpeg2theora.exe file and the mpeg file you want to convert. if you just type "ffmpeg2theora.exe" the program will list all its options. in this case we want to convert the video at top quality so we type

"ffmpeg2theora.exe -v 10 myvideo.mpg"

myvideo.mpeg would be replaced with your own video name. good luck to any other noobs giving it a try. don't be scared of the command line, its not the boss of you.

Worked great spellbreaker,  Thanks.
