I'm using the transcode ffmpeg decoder because the other decoder that comes with transcode (libdv.sourceforge.net a.k.a. the Quasar DV codec) has slightly poorer performance w.r.t. image quality. When using ffmpeg to read the DV files, i can obtain 10% better compression when converting to MPEG2 than when reading with libdv, all else being equal. There are people claiming visual improvements of the stream decoded with ffmpeg over the one decoded with Quasar, but i was never able to tell the difference. -- Florin Andrei http://florin.myip.org/ ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
