A few days ago, I did a comparison of mpeg2enc vs CCE, which is supopsedly *the* enocder to use for high end work, just for my own amusement. I came across a website someplace (sorry, I forget the URL) that compared various encoders and also inclxuded the DV and the encoded results for each encoder. So I grabbed the DV and compared for myself. To my eyes, mpeg2enc did just as good a job at -q 4, though the file size was about 50% larger. At -q 6, the file size was very similar, and the quality was *almost* as good (you could start to see some block noise in darker areas). That was particularly interesting, since CCE used a 3-pass encode, where mpeg2enc did it in one pass. (Gotta hand it to CCE, though -- it was faster overall using three pases than mpeg2enc was in one.) Considering CCE is $large and closed source, I'll take mpeg2enc -- especially since I hear good things (like multipass encoding) are planned for future development. :-) -- Robert Kesterson [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: SourceForge Enterprise Edition + IBM + LinuxWorld = Something 2 See! http://www.vasoftware.com _______________________________________________ Mjpeg-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mjpeg-users
