I am new to the AMV thing... I would like some suggestions on programs etc. to use to convert files and edit the video. All my videos are finally encoded in VCD format for viewing through DVD player.
Specs: 1.2GHz Athlon
512mb pc133 RAM
TONS of drive space (~160 GB ^_^)
GeForce 2 MX400 vid card
Programs:
VirtualDub 1.4.10
TMPGenc 2.0
Winamp (re-encode audio for muxing in TMPGenc)
Currently I am encoding video in this manner:
-- Converting 320x240 to AVI with V-Dub, SmartSmoother (diameter 7/threshold 35) and WarpSharp (depth 40) filters with DivX low-motion @ 2100kbps, 100 <crispness> and keyframe every 10secs.
-- Strip audio from AVI and re-encode with Winamp
-- Multiplex encode AVI and WAV files in TMPGenc to VCD specs (MPEG-1 352x240 29.97fps CBR 1246kbps, Layer-2 44100Hz 128kbps).
As stated before, I would like some suggestions for software to edit/splice/create these files.
Hope this isn't too much information. Thanks in advance for your input!
