if you want quality and an encoder that's free

use xvid4psp

or use what sensei uses MeGui

or just use x264 directly.

(heh, when did Sensei start using meGUI? Seems like I successfully corrupted him).

ZiNgA BuRgA Wrote:You probably don't have your settings configured properly.  x264 is also constantly updated.  A properly configured x264 should beat the MainConcept encoder.

Correct. Use high settings, and x264 should be supperior. Tests done by some guys have also confirmed that.

ZiNgA BuRgA Wrote:I'm quite sure you will care about encoding speed.  On x264, "--me tesa --merange 64 --bframes 16 --b-adapt 2" will slow down even top of the line CPUs to a crawl.

Also --ref 16 --trellis 2 --partitions all --psy-rd 1:1 --decimate 0

Now you got pretty much the slowest you can get

ZiNgA BuRgA Wrote:Try an x264 command like this (use the latest build - rev999):

Code:

x264 --crf 23 --level 3 --partitions all --me umh --subme 9 --ref 3 --mixed-refs --direct auto --bframes 8 --b-adapt 2 --b-pyramid --weightb --trellis 1 --no-psnr --no-ssim -o out.264 in.avs

level 3 doesn't support all the search partitions... Can't remember exact which ones it doesn't support, but P4x4 is definitely one of them.

Which is gay...

How is YUV bad?  H.264 uses YUV anyway.

Almost everything these days use YV12, (YUV with different chroma subsampling).

You really don't want to use RGB...

Thanks :)

Fate/Stay Night. Anime's not that good though. (Not saying it's bad, just not excellent).
