>Why what ? Are you making reference to the question about returning to DVD ?
"Techniques and tricks to make hi-quality low bitrate VGA-res MPEG's " -> Why? Betaplayer and xvid is better.
>If you are taking about VGA resolution - yes, you will certainely get something noticeably better with Xvid at 600 Kbps than with MPEG-1 at 600 Kbps, but it will not look good in either case. Blocks will be more blurry than blocky with Xvid, but 600 Kbps is very stressed to code VGA res.
For me is enough. And DVD movies is often widescreen - example 720x384 or 640x352 (because x50v only 640x480 screen 720xXXX not needed) - less pixels then 640x480. On 700mb (for archive) even 2h movies with 60 kbps he-aac with about 730-750kbps xvid 2pass looks really good.
>I've provided the vob to Enragin_Angel, we'll see what he can do at 800 Kbps. I'b be surprised it's better than our sample.
1.7Mbps is 112% more then 800kbps. Yours: "We know that you can gain about 30% in compression using MPEG-4 - not 50%, though" Give mpeg4 a chance.
>Again, the point of this thread is not to discuss the compression efficiency of Xvid vs MPEG-1, it's to show that MPEG-1 can be used very efficiently (some people still think MPEG-1 is only for VCD i.e. QVGA at 1.5 Mbit/sec!!!).
Yes. But still for what? why? 1Gb movie mpeg1 looks worse then 700Mb Xvid. More space and worse quality.
And why in aximsite and x50 general discussions? I think it is for Mutimedia section. And sorry for my simple and poor english
> 1.0 Mbps is only 41% less than 1.7 Mbps... not 70% less!
Correct, but 1.7Mbps is 70% more space usage then 1Mbps :)
