Hmmm... I'm by no means an expert, but i've heard people saying that the "non-standard" SVCDs will actually play just fine on most standalone players. I did a bit of testing myself, and indeed my SVCDs can be played almost anywhere. > Also -q 3 is too low a value -- you will most > certainly get a better output with -q 8 or so.

See mpeg2enc --help or man mpeg2enc details (note: the man page > in mjpegtools 1.6.0 has -f 4 wrongly stated as standard VCD) The thing is, i like to be able to control the length of the resulting MPEG stream by controlling the bitrate. This way, i can fill up a 700MB CD with exactly one 30 minutes cassette, and the quality is outstanding. If i use standard SVCD, the bitrate is lower and of course i get artifacts, etc. > Sometimes I find it useful to denoise the video by piping the > output of lav2yuv to yuvdenoise -l 1. Yes, good idea, i'll try that. -- Florin Andrei http://florin.myip.org/ ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: With Great Power, Comes Great Responsibility Learn to use your power at OSDN's High Performance Computing Channel http://hpc.devchannel.org/ _______________________________________________ Mjpeg-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mjpeg-users
