Okay that makes sense. I was trying to create something to play on a regular DVD player.

What's the make and model of your DVD Player?

It's one of those local makes (something called DVS). If I'm not mistaken, mpeg-4 was one of the supported formats so maybe I can play these files :P . Better find the user manual and check.

question

Post by JohnMalkovich » Mon Jul 21, 2008 12:50 am

Hi !

First of all, thanks for this helpfull topic, I hope we'll have some nice videos with those brilliant settings.

I have a question, when I encode a video of mine in AVI, with almost all video codecs the brightness goes very high. Any idea why and how disable this ? Is there an option somewhere for gamma or brightness setting ? It's really annoying when I have a pretty dark video, and when I encode it, it goes very bright and that's not beautifull, because I use some dark effects in Premiere, and they disapear after mediacoder encoding, whatever codec I use (XVid, h264, ...)

Thanks you for your help.

There is a brightness and contrast slider if you go into the picture tab and click on "effects".

Mp4 container uses x264 codec. Few standalone dvd players can play them.

If your player is MPEG-4 compatible that means it plays AVI containers with the video codec DivX or XviD and audio - mp3,mp2,ac3.

Not only is it not illegal, but the video is already on your computer. You don't have to download it -- it puts it in your cache whether you like it or not.

Use Video Cache View (google it ... i can't post a url) to see what videos are in your cache and retrieve them if you'd like.

Then open it with Media Info (google it...it's at sourceforge) and you've got all the information that B!ink gave.

There are no setting in x264 mediacoder for "Refine motion vectors use in bidirectional macroblocks" and "Mixed reference frame" is only a value such 1, I assumed 1=true then ?
