movie is upside down

**knowtaste** · December 3rd, 2003, 11:35 PM

i burnt an mpeg onto a vcd using nero 5.5.whatever and put the Cd in my dvd player a Phillips MX3900D and the picture and sound are perfect except the picture is upside down. Does anyone have any ideas. the cd plays fine on the PC. Thanks.

Yeah i just got through looking at that and my head is still spinning. Would i be right in thinking the only solution is to encode the avi file using another program then burn the decoded file using nero. that or re-install everything?
Thanks.

Knowtaste,

It's been months since I've encoded an avi, but what I always did was to use tmpgenc to do the encoding and then www.vcdeasy.org to encode it. But, then again it used to be free.

EDIT: Fixed errant website title.

Tmpgenc is still free for encoding Mpeg-1 (vcd)

I meant vcdeasy used to be free. Sorry I didn't clarify.

Did you ever find out why that happened??

you can't just let this go, there has to be a reason, and maybe other people can benefit from your info

yea one of my physics instructers was telling me about it a bio department at his school he was at getting his PHD...he said they had glasses that would flip things upside down and that after a day or so everything would flip back up the human brain is an amazing thing

wow I didn't know that

I wonder how aliens see?

**knowtaste** · December 4th, 2003, 01:00 PM

Ok i fixed it.
i turned the svideo cable around, simple as that.
NOT,
i downloaded ffdshow from doom9 installed it and searched the tabs for the one with the flip video option, checked it and burnt a perfect VCD. ofcourse all my bleeding AVIs are upside down now but thats easily sorted.
Thanks guys.

**jerrygarcia** · December 4th, 2003, 01:14 PM

I was going to suggest flipping the VCD over.

LOL!

**VHockey86** · December 4th, 2003, 04:43 PM

well
technically your brain already flips the images for normal sight, thus his glasses were "reflipping" it. lol

I do remember reading an article about that tho, dont remember the specficis but a guy wore a pair of glasses for a while (it was actualy more like 2 weeks not a couple days).

Since he wasnt used to it he was getting chronic headaches and finally had to stop wearing them

i got it wrong.
FFDshow flips AVIs XG400 flips the Mpgs.
Ran wmedia player 9, xg400 sits in the system tray, i opened it and the option to flip input output etc is right there. this time it burnt the vcd right way up.
that will be me Blazing a path across a parking lot, no doubt.
