Need some help or advice with video encoding - GoFuckYourself.com

We are trying to sell the videos via the store in a way that allows the buyer to add his own URL.

Problem is when they try to do this they are rendering the video again and this compresses it again and the quality comes down, anyone got any solutions?

As far as I know, there's no way to do it, unless you are starting with the raw DV avi to begin with. Anything you add to the video will take another rendering, but if anyone knows of a way to overlay a url or whatever I'd love to hear it.

you'd have to render each customers order with the url again with the source master avi or supply the raw or larger avi to them so they can do it

However I have rerendered compressed wmvs in sony vegas and the results were not that bad.

It's probably their settings they are using of the software if it's doing that bad of a job providing your original wmv was pretty good.

oh and white & yellow with a black stroke seems to do better than say reds or blues

What I'm thinking of doing is offering the option of sending the RAW version on DVD to clients. The problem is they are so fucking big putting them on the server will mean we need a terra bite and then downloading. Serious video people will wait for it to come in the post.

Thanks for that, the client was working off an Mpeg 720 x 576, not sure of the bit rate.

Guess sending a raw version be post is the option.

"preview in player as" and then save it. Use Vegas.
I do it all the time.
Nice meeting you in Amsterdam.

In Avid is requires another rendering, there really is no way around it.

Nydahl · 09-23-2005, 06:21 AM

True is that watermark is rendered in the file so you must always do it.Anyway if you set up the input video datas correctly you don't loose the quality at all - you are loosing just few bits and none is able to recognize that.

Paul Markham · 09-23-2005, 10:56 PM

Panic over.

Just got an email from the client, he had his settings wrong. Proper settings no problem.

tony286 · 09-23-2005, 11:21 PM

a option print to tape and send it to them that way to encode it to whatever they want.

Tranz007 · 10-17-2005, 11:41 PM

Better option. Encode it to Flash FLV and on the way out dynamicly place any clients water mark over the video on the fly. No re rendering or encoding.

billywatson · 10-17-2005, 11:44 PM

I use Adobe Premiere, and I just had to save all my projects on a timelime, add the URL, and render again. It's really not an option, cause of limitations with time and disk space...so I just opted-out.

I just don't offer it anymore.
