You might get better results using Lagarith, but it's a lot slower. I advise people to shy away from using lossy codecs because they usually aren't encoded in a way that makes them frame accurate and they just end up causing more problems IMO.setMosaic wrote:Oh I see. So, it's the same thing, and me here thinking that this file was kinda abnormal. Yeah, need a new hard drive, now. I have 350gb at the moment and a lot of raw episodes to convert, will be sort of a pain in the ass, dang it. I was happy with DivX till I find this forum and what people really use for better editing. There's no way to get the same quality with a small file size? Knowing that I can encode to .mp4, there's another way? Or I have to stick with those options?
I encode everything to UTVideo or lagarith nowadays. I use a 1tb hard drive for all my editing and its more than enough.
