Achieving best quality encoding
 

Hey,

I read Thiras' article but it is for Vegas. I use VirtualDub just to encode my Fraps capture and the only thing I change is music where I use an external wav file during encoding.

I'm looking for best options to encode a 1680x1050 fraps capture to same resolution without exceeding WarcraftMovies' 25mb/min limit. Ive done with 3300bitrate DivX but it is not the quality I want.

Any suggestions are welcome.

Thanks.

The xvid option window is consistent between different apps, so it would be pretty much the same in virtualdub and vegas.

You can go up to 4000-5000 for the video as long as the audio is properly compressed (128 is usually ok). The 25 mb/minute rule was decided on when nobody could record high res videos so it's sort of ignored nowadays.

Thanks, I figured out most of XviD but I couldn't find where I set the bitrate.

There :)

Oh I see. It's disabled in Twopass - 1st pass and enabled in 2nd pass.

Thanks!

Yw :) gl with your movie :)
