Less is Better

Post by SQ » Tue Jun 17, 2003 11:12 am

Indeed. Just fades with minimal special effects.

A realtively less used Final Fanatasy then the others, with a song that hadn't been added into the database. "Sora" by Yoko Kanno, from the Escaflowne Movie soundtrack.

Simple and pleasing, indeed =)

Unfortunetly there was a problem with compressing and it has a lot of horrible snow in the video track. =( I tried so many different codecs and settings to try to get rid of it (many thanks to Tab who helped me out here) but it never did. I did manage to get there to be less snow then there was previously.

Anyhow, "Zidane's Home"

I tried not to use the too popular ones.

But some I couldn't avoid, such as the snips from Dagger's haircut, and the very last part that's from the ending, not to mention the all-famous one where dagger is singing on the balcony. =\

but thanks for your feedback! =)

Hey, that was pretty good. Short 'n Sweet. :mrgreen: FFIX is one of my faves.
You had some good timing in there. Good job!

But, yeah, as you have said, quality wanst too great... :( Maybe try using DivX instead of XviD? I found the same problem when I was making my FFIX video, had it all in huffyuv the entire way through and then I tried it into XivD and there was pixilation like you wouldnt beleve... :? Then DivX seemed to work perfectly fine, I dunno why but it worked.

Big Dude, I've tried every codec. XviD turned out to be the best, believe it or not. =\

However, I was playing around today and managed to get quality as good as the huffy in a 60mb .mov file.

I'll see if I can get someone to host that instead, as the quality of the mpeg at that same rate was 75mb... Hrm...
