I have footage captured on premiere from my video cam...
1. all the footage I have has scanline lag in it... IT'S DIGITAL VIDEO, THERE SHOULDN'T BE INTERLACED SCANLINES! That makes no sense at all...
2. Alltoavi reads my widescreen vids as 4:3, but thankfully I can fix that manually. Divx converter doesn't give me that option.
3. Alltoavi is taking my 50 minute DV vids and pumping out 3 minute divx files... Yeah... I've done it before (sometimes with the interlacing problem, not always), but for some reason, when I actually NEED it to convert for work, it decides to be a little female dog on me. I even tried converting other files made the EXACT SAME WAY and they worked... It read as being -138% complete (that's a negative, by the way) and it said I had -5 minutes left, but it worked out in the end... It doesn't do that with these, it just gets to 100% and spits out a file that's a fraction of what I put in... in actual length, not in size...
So... I can't use movie maker, because you can ONLY do 4:3 in movie maker. Premiere takes hours to pump out anything that's not DV, and even then, it looks like crap. It's jittery. So MM and premiere aren't options. I'm so frustrated I... Well, it's not that I can scream, I have... several times. I tried to muffle it with a towel, but I don't think it worked...
Ok, so that last bit is unneeded info when it comes to getting this to work. I don't know why Alltoavi is deciding not to convert JUST THESE files. I would have given up and lived with the stupid interlacing problem, but... I can't live with distorted image or incomplete videos... one of about 100 of my problems at the minute...
