Play the generated mpg in ffplay or MPC-HOME, you can notice flick every 0.5 second.

The mp4 file generated by the same image doesn't have this problem. Command line is 

ffmpeg.exe -loop 1 -i 001.png -t 30 mp4_30.mp4

Hi,

Please just play ​https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/89678527/a30.mpg using ffplay in full screen mode. Ideally, you should see "still" playback - because each frame is same. But actually you can see (especially at the low part of screen) some scene change (small difference between frames), you can see the changes several times per second!

Works fine here:

No tearing.

Try to enable vsync in your graphics card driver.

Thanks Cehoyos,

I'll try to enable it tomorrow. But as I said, play it in MPC-HOME has the same problem. And play the mp4 file in both player is perfect (that means not a ffplay or Video card settings problem?)

Hi, could you guys have another look at this issue?

If I extra frames from the video (total 750 frames in this video) using 

ffmpeg.exe -i a30.mpg %03d.jpg

Then only the first 5 jpg is visually good, others are not good.
see ​https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/89678527/001.jpg
and ​https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/89678527/010.jpg
I've provided the source image and command line to generate the mpg 

ffmpeg.exe -loop 1 -i 001.png -t 30 -target pal-dvd a30.mpg

you should be able to reproduce it easily.

How is this related to the tearing issue you originally described?

Hi cehoyos, I've enabled vsync on my Win10 machine and still can see it.

The problem I want to point out is, I created a mpg video from a single image, but this video file when played, especially on TV, you can see difference between frames clearly.

Did you see it? Do you think it's tearing issue? If yes, why the MP4 generated by the same image plays good on the same machine and the issue only exists for mpg file? And why only the first several images dumped out look good?

comment:10 by Michael Niedermayer, 8 years ago

Try to adjust the ratecontrol parameters, try 2 pass, try anything that improves quality per bitrate. Also if you arent constraint by the DVD VBV restrictions then remove them. The issue is very likely caused be VBV/bitrate constraints and the highly detailed image requireing mich larger key frames than P frames. So keyframes end up lower quality.
You can also use a larger gop size or encode intra only or encode with constant qp instead of a target bitrate

No reply, so I close this as invalid. Reopen if you think otherwise.
