Here is my edited script I changed it so the audio and video use fifo's to get rid of tmp files. I also changed -V to 230 -b to 2430 found a bit calc and chose a higher bitrate for the size I use added -B 122 which is my audio bitrate *96 + 1% of a+v -I to 0 since I added deinterlacing since I set that -q to 10 man says it is a good one for svcd even I still don't understand what it does
I was checking the man page and came across this and would like a bit of info and suggestions on use "-Q|--quantisation-reduction 0.0..4.0 This flag sets the amount quantisation is reduced for blocks containing unusually large amounts of sharp image detail. Setting this value 0.0 produces the most efficient use of bits but may cause visible/artefacting around detailed sections. A larger value may help suppress artefacts, however, on noisy source material this may cause a "swimming" effect on textured backgrounds as the noise cause blocks to be boosted at random. The default is 0.0 (off)." My source material has a little noise but I also hate artifacts/blocks so is there a good setting ##################################################################### cd /mm3 ## Change to partition for video capture mencoder -tv on:driver=v4l:width=480:height=480:input=1:norm=ntsc:amode=1:adevice=/dev/dsp:fps=29.97 -oac copy -o recording.raw.avi -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=huffyuv:vstrict=-1 -endpos 01:03:00 ## Capture from tv card mv recording.raw.avi recording.avi #avidemux recording.raw.avi ## Cut out commercials and stream copy to recording.avi mkfifo stream.wav mplayer recording.avi -ao pcm -aofile stream.wav -vc null -vo null </dev/null & cat stream.wav | mp2enc -v 2 -b 96 -o sound.mp2 ## Convert audio to mp2 mkfifo stream.yuv mplayer -nosound -vo yuv4mpeg recording.avi -vop lavcdeint </dev/null & mpeg2enc -o video.m2v -B 122 -f 4 -q 10 -I 0 -V 230 -n n -F 4 -r 32 -4 1 -2 1 -b 2430 stream.yuv --correct-svcd-hds --aspect 2 ## Convert video to svcd mplex -f 4 sound.mp2 video.m2v -o svcd.mpg ## Combine audio and video into svcd vcdimager -t svcd svcd.mpg ## Get svcd ready for burning rm stream.* ## Clean up a couple files ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Mjpeg-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mjpeg-users
