Windows Media Encoder - Optimal settings?

davsva · 07-06-03, 08:05 AM

Hi!

I downloaded Windows Media Encoder 9 yesterday. Can anyone recommend what settings to use when converting a full lenght movie for PPC2003? Like audio quality, fps, bitrate etc.

Hur bra kvalitet på filmen vill du ha?

Jag brukar köra på följande:

320x240 (glöm ej at rotera filmen)
Ljud: 22050 - 16bit mono - 48kBit/s eller 64kBit/s
Fps: 25
Bitrate 300kbps
Detta funkar perfekt på en vanlig film.

Men är det en actionfilm så höjer jag till 350/400kbps på bitrate!

Hoppas detta hjälper!

(Det finns ingen mirakel inställning som funkar på allt - ett tips: om du skall konvertera en film så kan du ta det partiet som är mest krävande i filmen och gör en test konvertering med olika inställningar för att se vilken som passar just den filmen)

Tried to translate it. Always harder to translate than using own words, but I hope it is almost correct :-)

What quality do you want?

I use the following:

320x240 (dont't forget to rotate the movie)
Sound: 22050 - 16bit mono - 48kBit/s or 64kBit/s
Fps: 25
Bitrate 300kbps
This works perfect on an ordinary movie.

If it is an action movie I change the bitrate to 350/400kbps!

Hope it helps!

(There is no "magic" setting that always work- a tip: take the most demanding part of the movie and try to convert if with different settings)
