Divx encode and MVP
When i encode some of my tv shows with video dub I get a big range of quality. Sometiems i have good quality some times i'm looking at a gray and white screen and some times black patches show up

It makes it hard to watch the movie... Its horrible how can i fix this?

I'm guessing the original video encode of the show is poor quality so when you use Virtual Dub to reencode so it fits to the Axim screen you're degrading the quality even further.

Don't know of a fix, but I'm no videophile. Can anyone help this fella out.

Hmm, it sounds like the original capture is bad..I don't see how Vdub would do this to it.

the quality of the video is dependent on mainly three factors: the original quality, the bit-rate used for re-encoding, and the compression method employed.

There is nothing you can do about the original quality, all re-encoding will only make the new movie at best equal, but 99 times out of 100, worse (whether you notice it or not is another matter).

As for the compression method, DivX is my choice as it probably would yield the best result vs the size of the resulting file.

To improve quality (bearing in mind the second para above), try using a higher bit rate. THE guide in this forum suggest 128kpbs, which gives a file of aorun 1.2MB / minute of video, If you increase it to 256kpbs, you should be able to see a noticable improvement, with the size going up to around 2.2MB / minute.
