| I'm trying to encode videos, but they are too big, if I make them smaller the quality becomes very poor. I was wondering what codec Vuk uses, his captures are perfect and rather small. If you have any suggestions please reply. | |

| Global Moderator | Xvid is the codec used for the newer videos on this site.

| Cruzz563|work | like hokie said XviD is the current codec he uses, for a guide go to: www.doom9.org Download Auto GordianKnot, if they don't have that anymore get GordianKnot and read their guide they have there ![]()

| Thanks guys. I have one more question. Can you suggest a sample configuration of the codec something like two pass, which could improve the quality of the video. Thanks in advance. | |

| I'm trying to capture from DV Camcorder. The quality is perfect when the film is in DV format(which makes 4GB-s for 18 minutes). And I want to compress it. I used XviD, it's not bad, but not as good as the top gear-s and fifth gear-s RIPS. I used 2400 kbps and the quality is similar, but top gear is at about 800 kbps. That's the problem. | |

Car: Audi TT '08 Rep Power: 161 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | with those high res DV cams, you might want to stay up there in the quality chain and go for DVD quality (MPEG2), xvid/divx is for highly compressed stuff, yes you can use very high bit rates, but its so much easier to burn to a dvd using mpeg2, and it retains a very good amount of quality, your cam mustve come with some software for that? What applications are you using at the moment? |

Rep Power: 0 ![]() | VUK somehow manages to get the colour to 12 bit. I have no idea how he does that. Does anyone know how? |

| TechZ you are right about the resolution my videos are with res 720x576 whereas Vuk's are with 512x288. That's the reason, but i still think that XviD is better than the MPEG-2 in the DVD-s because DVD-s are with extremely high bitrate, while XviD with bitrate at 2400 kbps is with a perfect quality and much smaller. Thanks guys. | |
