New codec comparison to be completed tomorrow

Post by RadicalEd0 » Mon Mar 31, 2003 12:01 am

This time its 3ivx D4, dicas's mpeg4 codec, divx 5.04 beta, ffvfw divx 3, ffvfw h.263+, ffvfw mjpeg, ffvfw mpeg1 (mpeg2enc), ffvfw mpeg2 (mpeg2enc), ffvfw mpeg1, ffvfw mpeg4, ffvfw theora beta, hdot264, wmv9 in vcm/vfw mode, xvid 03/22/03, nandub divx 3.11, and rv9 using helix producer gold milestone 6

I'm just gonna let the encodes fly tomorrow while I'm at school.

Since I'm lazy as hell and just wanted to try out this new stuff the source is only Sakura Saku at 640x480 and 23.976fps, encoded at 1024kbps. Normally I'd do like a high and low speed animation and live action clip encoded at 512kbps, 768, 1024, 1536, 2048, and at 320x240 and 640x480 each or something. But thats for some time when I'm really bored. This is good enough for now :\

maybe I'll do an audio test at like 64 or 96kbps between ra8, wma9, mp3, mp2, mp3 pro, aac, ac3, and vorbis with that clip as well.

If you're going to do an audio test, I'd run it twice - once with the music clip as normal and once with the center channel stripped (soundforge does this easily with some residue but you want to see if little stuff like that gets lost or not). It makes it a LOT easier to clarify the results.

It's only a 2.0 channel source

of course not :/
I'll post the exact settings later on when it's finished.

Also I figured I might as well throw in TMPG's mpeg1 and mpeg2 as well as CCE mpeg2 while I'm checking out ffvfw's mpeg capabilities

It may be 2.0 but there's still a "center" channel - aka the overlapping material typically in the form of the leading vocal.

hmm.. alright

the title of the thread stands :| ffvfw/ffdshow and the beta wm9 vcm are being too buggy to get any kind of comparison done today.

Expect it to be weeks to months before I actually get it up. I tend to work like -h :|
