Hi I have tried several of the options provided by the nvidia encoder and in all cases, the only virtue of the nvidia encoder seems to be speed. As soon as I start limiting the target bitrate (using -b:v option), the video quality suffers in fast changing areas of the picture. We will continue to use the nvidia for some time to come and hope to see an updated version that can work better at reduced bitrates. thanks, Sreenath _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-user mailing list [email protected] http://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-user
