DeluxePaint animation conversion problems
« on: March 28, 2009, 06:55:35 PM »
Hi all. Got a slightly annoying problem with an animation I'm making for a member on YouTube who asked me to make an introduction animation for his videos which are railroad themed.

I've produced a very nice 300 frame animation in Deluxe Paint 4, and I use the PD program anim2mpegB to then convert it into an MPG file which works beautifully on the PC (studio12 and movie maker) since my friend is limited to WMV.

My problem is in converting the DPaint anim5 into MPG. The program leaves ugly lines occasionally in the process. Any way to eliminate that, or is there a better converter?

Thanks. I'm not doing anything radical, just a straight DPaint HiRes Laced using the default palette.

Its not truncating, just the odd lines that appear infrequently.

I'll give it easy mpeg a try though.

I used anim2MpegS which is the Stanford version, and after figuring out that I had to add Split and YUVS drawers, it converted very nicely. Here's the results.
