I've played around with a lot of the parameters, and would like some help in getting the optimal set.
I don't care about file size. All movies will be played via a software player.
Some things I do care about are:
1. Must be MPEG-1 for maximum compatibility across multiple platforms.
2. I don't like popping. I've noticed that depending on various parameters I've chosen for mpeg2enc I get intermittent popping.
3. The video must be as "clean" as possible. In other words, I would like to minimize jpeg compression artifacts.
I've padded out my images to maintain dimensions that are multiple of 16, to prevent the green padding from showing up.
Some things I've tried are making every frame an I frame by using the following options:
-g 1 -G 1
This doesn't really seem to help. I've found that -g 1 -G 3 does much better, while -g 1 -G 2 causes severe popping.
I've read in the archive that -H can help with images that are pretty free of noise, but I don't notice much of a difference.
I've also tried to crank up the bit rate, but that can result in poor quality images once the bit rate gets too high. Is there some intuition I'm missing?
So if I don't care about file size, and I want the best quality movie what kind of parameters should I be using?
Thanks, James
