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.
 
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.
 
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?
 
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.
