LV - Hah! Hah! Hah! . . . I think you've created the first Christmas Cracker, Vid/TechHead Joke . ..

Anyways, back on message . . . You saying that there is a setting for invert etc within WMEnc? Where he be? Any ideas . . ? In the meantime I'll pass this on . . many thanks . . . I really did appraciate the humour . . in this Topsy-Turvey World . . erm . ."Keep yer End Up Pal!"

Grazie

Glad you liked the humor.... I don't know of any feature in the Windows Media Encoder that would invert video (I do use the latest version but I am no expert in it).

It honestly sounded to me like it was a joke (that I thought was quite funny)... I mean how on earth can a video be upside down? What sort of setting or video codec would cause that to happen? This just sounds soooo funny.

I can imagine as a joke capturing some video with the camera upside down... or maybe even inverting it within Vegas and giving it to a colleague and faking suprise when they come back and say... hey... this video is upside down! Really.... I wonder how that happened... must be something wrong with your PC.

Anyway... it sounds like a most strange problem.


[edit]... or are you sayijng the source video IS the right way up... but somehow the encoded video after WME has done it's stuff is upside down?

Hiyah LV! YEah I guess it could have been a joke. But, this is from a pro forum I belong to. It would be very remiss if this was the case . . but point taken.

No, I believe it is a real World experience for this chap. And yes, I'll ask if he has in some NLE way "inverted" the clip. However, I'd like to know if WMEnc has a setting to be able to invert . . maybe he has clicked this . . I don't know .. . I'll ask him. But is it your thoughts that this would be a very "unusual" result?

Grazie

I've just been looking through the WME interface... and I can't find anything obvious that would invert the video. There are a LOT of options and settings... so I cannot rule it out...

Okay, the "can't rule it out", maybe something is in there - yeah? Is there a "default"/"factory" setting this chap could revert to?

Grazie

I've seen this happen with old versions of WME and for once I can honestly say this is not cause I live at the bottom of the world.
But don't laugh it does affect somethings, convergence being one of them.
But here is a techie funny story. Many, many years ago someone was setting up the first demo of color TV in this country over a closed link. Camera in one building pointed at bowl of fruit and monitor in the other. Techies get everything setup and looking as good as early TV could and go home. Next day they come in a lttle early as today the public get to see it for the first time. Colours are out something horrendous and no amount of tweaking will fix it. You've probably guessed it by now, overnight some joker has spray painted the fruit.

. . . okay, okay, okay . . I will stay on message here . . but yes, my one is the In-Console monitor being removed and put back in upside down . . The backroom guys didn't take to this . .after the 2nd hour of hi-tech head-scratching, somebody came clean . . .

. . okay, convergence and older WMencs may have it?
