glitches after conversion

Former user wrote on 3/6/2023, 10:17 PM

I am preparing some video for a festival which has permission to screen several videos transferred from Blu-ray and DVD discs. I used Acrok video converter to load the disc, then converted the Blu-ray titles to .mp4 using h264 which was a standard video that appears in the Acrok menu, and used original bit rate and frame rate. If I play the resulting file in Windows 10 Pro, it looks fine. If I load it into Vegas Pro 20 or 19, it has bad glitches throughout, total distortions of the whole picture. Do you know what is going on there? I have now tried it with several different titles and different discs - same thing. Is the Acrok program doing something weird? This is on an i9 computer 128 Gb RAM, RTX 3090 GPU.

We don't know "Acrock." Sounds like maybe it doesn't decrypt the video stream like most players do. If you haven't guessed, neither does Vegas.

That said, we try hard to avoid discussions of this nature, because "permissions" notwithstanding, they may pose a conflict of interest for our commercial editors.

Read over the Community Rules, and if you decide to copy from a disc for personal noncommercial use, MakeMKV and Handbrake may be a better direction for you. Welcome to the forum.

Musicvid - I already stated that this is being done with permissions - this is for a public library that has screening rights from the copyright holder, Zeitgeist Films. So I am not some copyright violator ripping discs, all right? Your statement "we don't know this..." - so you speak for the whole group? Were you elected by everyone here to do that or what? There is a condescending tone to your reply I don't appreciate. I don't need your passive-aggressive "welcome" and "read the community rules" etc.

EricLNZ - thanks for your response, I appreciate it, but I will just look into it myself.

Maybe the external video converter generate video files with a structure, that are not expected by Vegas. Vegas is an video editor, build to edit footage shooten by videocameras. So it may be hard to support you here, since we will not have the experience with that tool.

What you could try is to change the encoder settings, that are used by Acrok. Change output formats, does it offer something different then H.264?

There is likely an issue with the rip and MediaInfo may help diagnose it as EricLNZ wrote. Of course if you can do that yourself you don't need us!
