Well, I finally figured out how to get POV-Ray to output non-3:4 ratio frames,
so I'm playing around with using Wide screen setting.
For extra resolution, I'm generating 16:9 frames at 2048 X 1152 for scaling
down. The default output setting is:
PNG image data, 2048 x 1152, 8-bit/color RGB, non-interlaced.
Which got me thinking about colour depth again.
POV-Ray says that png and ppm formats can handle upto 16 bit/color RGB. And
the Hollywood standard for movie editing is 32 bit/color RGB. But I don't see
anything in the how-to or man pages/help pages regarding colour depth?
Can I use 16bit/color RGB png or ppm images?
I'm also thinking about trying 4196 X 2304 frames to scale down to 1024 X 576.
Time not being a factor, I prefer max quality, would yuvscaler or y4mscaler be
best for this job? I'd like to keep the maximum image quality right upto the
mpeg encoding stage.
I still need to work on my modelling, but there are plenty of POV-Ray models
on the Internet if you know where to look.
Any other comments/suggestions about rendering images for wide screen DVD
resolution would be good on this thread.
Cheers,
John Gay
