2 Questions

Postby MiyaDV » Thu Apr 12, 2007 12:27 am

I'm trying to get my Music Video down to below 100MB, right now its 117MB(it's game footage so yea its gunna be big) Encoded with XviD..
I was wondering if there was a way to make it smaller without reducing quality too much.. I was thinking of resizing so I tryed resizing with vDubMod and AviSynth but when I go to the option (Direct Stream Copy) It's YV12 x.x is there anyway to get past that?


And... I have some .mp4's, I need them in .avi containers (I know it's not good to have them in those, and blah blah blah but I just have to for something >_>)

So I was wondering how to go about doing that, is there any program for that? Also I need the .avis to be around the same file size, can't have them uncompressed.

Thanks in advance if you can help me x.x

1. to resize, you will need to re-encode. I'd go back to your original source (the one you made the first 117meg xvid in the first place with), apply your resize to that and then encode it as a new xvid file. You cannot do it the way you describe as far as I know.

2. if you install the CCCP codec (google it, I don't know where it is offhand) and use the directshowsource command in your AVS script file, you should be able to open your mp4 file in VDubMod and then re-encode it as some flavor of AVI if you wanted... but realize, unless you're doing it as a lossless codec type, you'll probably be downgrading the quality level...

Have you tried a 2-pass encode? Reference

I assume that you compressed your audio, too.
