Some stuff. *READ!!!*
I'm currently writing down a lot of info relating to video compression, codecs, formats, don't go all ??!?!? if a thread pops up and then disappears or gets edited or whatever.
At the moment I'm planning (threads, I suppose) General explanation of codecs/containers. More advanced terms related to codecs/containers. Expressions used in relation to movies, frames/par/dar/interlaced/fps/whatever. Encoding guides using meGUI, premiere and vegas, profiles for megui (both xvid and x264) for download & easy use. Common Programs and what they're good for. A thread with whatever tutorials we have had posted here - they're not many but they deserve to be seen (x-booze has done a few neat ones) -more to be added as it appears in my head.. If I get my will through we can also consolidate the old stickies into one (similar to what they've done on the class forums at wow-europe), for cleanliness. This will hopefully clear up a lot of confusion and reduce the amount of questions that need be asked. Eventual suggestions in this thread or by PM, please. |

Nice idea Thiras Donnow if you planned on adding this in your guide but I think some people would like to know how virtual dub works for video compression. I've been using it for a while now and I think rendering in virtual dub works way better then in vegas or other editing programs

Immediate Music.. No really.
But anyway, I would like some tutorials on encoding since I know practically nothing on this field! Last edited by GZProduction : 12-17-2007 at 11:52 AM. |

MeGui and h264 kick ass. I did a test encode for one of my older projects and h264 blew xvid outta the water qualitywise. With half the size! The only downside was a very long compression time.
But I still think a VirtualDub guide would be useful - at least for those Stage6 DivX compressions.

Wow I just tested X264 encoding with MeGui I'm never going back to Xvid. The size quality is awesome. Blew my socks off The long compression time is totally worth it

I'm probably the only one, but my experience with megui was kinda bad Couldn't play it without VLC (though I think it should be playable with quicktime) and the sound didn't fit the image when I got further into the movie. I don't know if it was because of the movie length or because my computer couldn't handle it though I think overall the codec is probably really good, might just be a few holes in it that might be good to test if making a guide about it as well! But that's just a suggestion
