| 141279 | 2003-05-04 05:18:00 | I've copied a video into a vcd and play the video using a vcd player however i have problems playing the disc.The cd reads but the pictures are fuzzy.Stuck on the first picture.Sounds are chippy.pictures doesn't move. Whats causing this?I have a 200mhz 64 ram computer .4x4x6x external cd writer. Does slow computer affect how the video is play?How can i fix this problem? Tammy |

If you are only playing it on computers, I would use the DivX compression rather than VCD as it has better compression, and is also more asymmetrical ie the computer spends more work compressing the info, so that it can spend less work decompressing it. Fuzzy pictures are caused by lack of depth to each frame. This means that when the movie was created, not enough disk space was allocated to each frame, and so the blurrying of the picture is the way that this space is conserved. The choppy playback is caused by the slow computer. With most video algorithms, the specs call for the player to drop frames when there is too much information to handle. So when your GPU/CPU is getting bombarded with all this video and audio information, when it gets too much, it just ignores a few seconds so it can get on top of the work load again, the result is the picture skips the ignored information. The solution is to : Use a better compression algorithm if possible; Use a higher bitrate so that each frame has more data; run it on a computer with more RAM/ a better GPU. Iain |
