You can see a slight loss of detail and the blockiness is somewhat more apparent. Since the bitrate ended up being so low I would be tempted to increase the quality (change -q 8 to -q 7 or perhaps even -q 6) and trade some play time for quality. I found the image to look better on a LCD (portable DVD player or computer monitor) than on my TV set. Probably due to the TV set's blacklevel/brightness not being set right - it is an old set that should be replaced (it overscans quite a bit more than one would expect). To me the interesting (but not completely unexpected) part was that both of the standalone players had no trouble with the CVD format even though I used 48k audio instead of the (S)VCD standard 44.1k Cheers, Steven Schultz ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email sponsored by: Enterprise Linux Forum Conference & Expo The Event For Linux Datacenter Solutions & Strategies in The Enterprise Linux in the Boardroom; in the Front Office; & in the Server Room http://www.enterpriselinuxforum.com _______________________________________________ Mjpeg-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mjpeg-users
