what program that you use to compress MPEG ?
 

I USE xingmpeg encorder V2.20 at 384k/secBut video post told me that , the quality are poor.
Could you please give me an advise.


Thanks a million in advance :)

you people gotta start using DivX

I took a video I shot that was 63 MB as a raw MPEG, and with MPEG4 compression, the file size was 880K with no noticable or audible loss of quality :thumbsup

DivX is going to be the next big codec ... it is already happening

Cutecookie, long time no hear.. send me a ICQ your old one is not working.

I agree Divx is great, adjustable compression.. I use it with Virtual Dub.

Do all of the common movie players ( Windows Media Player, Real Player. Quicktime, Winamp etc) play Divx out of the box?

How did you even find that program! That company went out of business years ago.:)

Most people I know use TMPg. It's shareware and does one heck of a good job en coding mpegs.

Now, if you want even better quality mpegs and are willing to put out a few bucks for the program, NOTHING beats Vegas Video by Sonic Foundy!:thumbsup

they have a couple versions of the codec here, including a free add supported encoder

The Panasonic MPEGI & II encoders are probably the best arround http://www.pdn.co.jp/mpeg/index_e.html

I use it for all of our movies at http://www.skan-media.net

Anybody using Winamp to play video should be shot ! I have never seen a player even shittier than Realplayer until winamp introduced video ... even they know they fucked up ... I talked to Justin, and he said that they are soon suspending the wimamp video support ...

Windows Media player et al don't support DivX out of the box, but you simply give your members a link to the free codecs, and then your video players will support it.

I have tried many thrid party codec packs, and have found this one to be the best one BY FAR !!!

divx is cool, but I hate telling my members to DL new software. I rather use something that will work as soon as they get into the site

Second to that...:thumbsup

If you really need mpeg this one is the best for booth speed & quality.

My thoughts exactly........I can see them doing that on their 2nd or 3rd visit, but not when they've just signed up. How do other people handle this?
