h.264 (or x264) - Should I start encoding in this format?

Inuyasha the 3rd · Post by **Inuyasha the 3rd** » Tue Jan 24, 2006 6:50 pm

I've been thinking about encoding my future AMV's in this format for quite some time. I've heard it produces alot higher quality encodes than XviD does. So, should I go for this now, or should I wait? I mean hey, XviD was a pain in the ass at first, but I figured it out.

So yeah.

Should I go for this codec? Or keep going with XviD?

I had been wondering the same thing for a while... It really all has to do with how much shit you're willing to put up with from the masses of half-wits that won't attempt to understand how to play your video.

I'd also suggest you include a detailed explination on how to get it working with sith several diferent options, but don't expect to not get comments saying people couldn't play your vids...

Hell, I already get that with <i>DivX-compatible</i> XviD.

Haha, yeah. Good point there. I'll probably might tell them to install VideoLAN. That would work out perfect. Strange.., I never got complaints about people not being able to play my vids. (I think I did, but I forget..

)

Do you know what you're doing?

If yes, then go ahead.

If no, don't bother.

Yeah, I do. But do I apply the same methods I do with XviD, or is it different when it comes to this x264 format?

That doesn't sound like you know what you are doing

Well, first off, I've been too used to XviD, so yeah. But I would'nt mind reading a guide on how to encode in this format. Because im a total n00b to this.
