Handbrake Encoding Artifacts
Handbrake Encoding Artifacts
I recently put an 8800gts in my system in place of my old x1800xt. I'm using what I believe is the newest handbrake edition (0.9.4). I have been getting artifacts on my Q6600/4GB DDR2 - 800/8800gts. I don't get them with my 8600gts/FX-60/2GB DDR 400 (same version I think, though it might be older, I'll verify). Moves get vertical lines/artifacting in most quick moving high contrast screens. DVD files/DVD shrink produced files are artifact free pre-encoding. Any thoughts on why I'm getting this problem? My Q6600 setup is like 4 or 5 times faster at least at encoding to mp4 than my FX-60 so it's worth my while to use it if I can fix the problems.

Re: Handbrake Encoding Artifacts
Sounds like the video card is giving you issues. Could be a bad memory chip or faulty solder... The NVIDIA cards made a couple years back were known to have issues.
Did you buy the card used online by chance? Lots of e-bay cards are 'oven fixes' and will only work a short while before giving issues like that.

Friend gave it to me for free because he got a GTX 260 (well 2 of them). But why would it just be the mp4 files and not the VideoTS folders that work? Also games look fine and have no artifacts. Just seems odd.
Re: Handbrake Encoding Artifacts
Apop you are right, in at least that is is the graphics card or related to it. If the memory on the card was bad wouldn't I see artifacts in all things? It is only MP4 video I have issue with. I can watch avi/mkv/divx/wmv/anything not encoded with h.264/x264. Is it a driver issue or some other issue? Anyone else have an 8800gts that has windows 7 and the newest driver got an answer? Is it my decoder? (it worked same computer with my x1800xt fine). This is frustrating as all my encodes I deleted because of artifacts were all actually fine .

I may need to make a new thread, but an Update:
VLC plays the files fine. WMP with an 8600gts and FX-60 Plays it fine with CCCP codec pack and same with WMC. My main rig with the x1800 plays it fine. With the 8800gts it no longer does. I think it has something to do with drivers and directx video acceleration with the 8800. VLC doesn't use it so that is where I got the idea. Really frustrating. How do I turn off the use in media center/media player?
