ok,

i'll take a step back.............i wanted to see where the jitter, and shake was coming from,

so i wanted to overlay a box over both the original video, and the gout version, and compare

those..so.............. i created a still image with a box surrounding the video, and then overlayed them..(i had to back later, and adjust contrast, etc)..

****************NOTE : IGNORE THE JPG COMPRESSION, the actual videos are much clearer ****************************

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

# overlay clip with a box

clip1 = Mpeg2Source("M:\data\movie\dvd\star wars ep 4-gout\VTS_03_1.d2v")

subs = ImageSource("C:\data\vid\to_sort\vidcap\mpg\test01-boxbl.jpg").ConvertToRGB32

Overlay(clip1, subs, mode="Difference", opacity=0.4)

ShowFrameNumber(offset=9, text_color=$ff0000)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

----------------------------------------

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

i did the same for the gforce version...

-----------------------------------------------------

but you know what? i still didn't see the video go outside the frame for the original?

however, there was a ton of jitter/shake WITHIN the frame.........from frame to frame

when you stepped through, in many of the shots, the static camera shots, the fx shots

everywhere...............i never realized how much SHAKE there was going on?????

so what can we do next? ......

later
