I'm trying to encode a divX 5 file that plays fine in media player.

I start encoding but the colors come out very wrong. I'm encoding at the highest possible quality level and a high bitrate but this is what I see:
on the screen there are large blocky lines that are colored in what seem like basic colors: magenta, green, orange etc. the lines follow some contours of the image underneath, they are not completely random.
this only happens with this particular file

what am I doing wrong?

avicodec reports 532 Kbps for the video, 23.976 fps, 638x350 (16:9), DX50
audio is MP#.

I tried changing aspect ratios in TMPGEnc, didn't make a difference

Encode at 23.976 and add pulldown from the "Encode Mode" dropdown box.
Try top field first from the "field order" dropdown box on Advanced tab.

it doesn't matter what I change, result is the same (tried changing random things too, like aspect ratio and resolution)
the file has a funny resolution, 638x350

WinDVD creator turns it into an MPEG but I don't like it because I can't change anything, it will make a 5 gig file that looks like crap (the original looks fine in media player but the resulting mpeg is very wide) and reencoding it in TMPGEnc will probably make it even worse

this is what I see: the screen is divided into horizontal lines. when the 3D Universal logo starts to show, the top line is somewhere, the one under it is a bit to the right, the one under that one is even more to the right etc. blocks of the screen are shifted right fron top to bottom.

I also tried making a VCD with the wizard, same thing happens

every other program (like ULEAD ones) encodes it OK but none offer any control on the encoding quality/settings.

Is this the TMPGEnc result, or the original file?
I need a clip of the original file.

this is TMPGEnc result

how can I split a bit of the original AVI? (while keeping the original problem in the file, if there is one)

I see that you got it figured out.
Back with some results in a few minutes.
Totally strange.
I can encode it in Mainconcept no trouble.
I can encode it in Canopus Procoder no trouble.
CCE Basic chokes just like tmpgenc plus 2.5
Tmpgenc DVD source creator craps (locks up).
Uses ffdshow DivX5, mpeg-4 (on my system) to render video.
