An Introduction to MP3 Encoding

by StormChaser Why bother? With the ever dropping price of storage media, it's a perfectly reasonable question to ask, but regardless of how cheap the storage media becomes, it's still far cheaper if you can fit far more audio content into the same given storage space, especially if the loss in qua...

Re: Blu-Ray conversions -- Anyone having any success?

I'm pretty much an ATI user myself. But, I'm not a gamer and most gamers believe pretty strongly in nVidia. I'm a serious gamer, or used to be, hence all the ATI cards. They may not win on paper very often, but they beat Nvidia hands-down in the real-world for gaming. It's just a shame that all of ...

Re: Blu-Ray conversions -- Anyone having any success?

Thanks for the extra info, Rodger. Glad you're getting on OK with the CUDA encoding. I'm all ATI here so don't have the luxury. Don't forget to post a working preset to help out others who may be struggling with it. :)

Re: Blu-Ray conversions -- Anyone having any success?

...it is converting at lightning speed compared to my CPU conversion. It will have this disc done in 3 hours total. That's about 1/14th the time it would have taken using the CPU to convert. This is a slower computer for sure, but I don't think it would be 14 times slower then a fast computer. In t...

Re: MC 0.7.5.4702 full problems. With captures (jpg)

I try to convert from one xvid avi to another... Do you mean a transcoder can´t do that? Are you serious? So are you now saying that the transcode doesn't work even without subtitles? I think you really need to start following some of the advice you've been given here regarding what settings give y...

Re: MC 0.7.5.4702 full problems. With captures (jpg)

I try to encode an avi video without audio, to the same one with subs (srt) and black borders, just to watch it in my standalone dvd player. Hi Luisppk, This doesn't directly answer your problems, but standalone DVD players don't usually like a horizontal resolution above 720 pixels. Neither do the...

Re: Xvid Preset

Thanks mixer. I'm working on three presets at the moment for converting to XviD/MP3 in AVI for standalone players producing different target MB/hr sizes and I'll post them all together in the presets thread when I'm done tweaking. :) PS I've made a minor correction to the preset in the post above re...

Re: Xvid Preset

I've been looking around for an xvid preset XML file for a while... My xvid conversion just keeps failing no matter what the settings, so I would like a working xvid.xml to know eliminate some unknowns. My 'HQ' preset for standalone players giving around 666MB/hr (11.1MB/min) for MediaCoder Version...
