Which is easily solved with FFDShow and Haali.<br /> <br /> And do you know that H264 is actually optimised for low bitrate videos, like bitrates of 500kbs?<br /> <br /> I personally recode using x264 and neroaac to achieve an average filesize of 90-175mbs, depending on the type of show. Usually I get an average quant of 18 which corresponds to CQ2 of MPEG4(DivX &amp; XviD included)<br /> <br /> And when you recode, of course you drop the resolution to SD size. Who needs the HD when the target is 140mb or less?<br /> <br /> With certain tweaks and optimisations, you can achieve better results with x264 than what I've done so far even.<br /> <br /> Personally I dont use rmvb anymore for recoding anymore. Color information is lost real media only supports 65535 colors. Though it is up to what you want. <img title="Wink" src= "/images/emoticons/classic/icon_wink.gif" alt="Wink" /></p> Tue, 22 Jan 2008 23:05:57 +0800 www.sgforums.com:2023:300252:7792411 abao http://www.sgforums.com/forums/2023/topics/300252 <p>If anyone wants to retain <span class="">MKV</span> format, it is fine, just that, it is not as stable as <span class= "">AVI</span>, and for those who are waiting for Evangelion: 1.0 You Are [Not] Alone (movie), i watched the cam version with chinese sub, this movie is totally about the anime series, and they remark into a movie</p> Tue, 22 Jan 2008 23:05:35 +0800 www.sgforums.com:2023:300252:7792407 allentyb_v2.01 http://www.sgforums.com/forums/2023/topics/300252 <p>With the huge amount of anime series in my HARD DISK, i can even host a direct download site, so do you think i don't know my stuff, huh?<br /> <br /> i still insist that, MKV is bad a s s format, every once in a while, i download a mkv file, example [spoonsub] Sketchbook full colour's, the video frame was lagging, and i thought there is problem with their encode, then i realise, the problem lies with the codec, and i had no choice but to update my k lite again!</p> Tue, 22 Jan 2008 22:57:08 +0800 www.sgforums.com:2023:300252:7792370 allentyb_v2.01 http://www.sgforums.com/forums/2023/topics/300252 <p>MKV is known to cause a lot of problem, if you don't know any S H I T about codec at all, and you can search IT format, and you will know how many problem it cause, and do you even know, when [GG] released MKV format for their code geass ep, a lot of people using vlc player, have problem opening the file, and now you tell me, which format is better!<br /> <br /> MKV or AVI!</p> Tue, 22 Jan 2008 22:47:24 +0800 www.sgforums.com:2023:300252:7792318 allentyb_v2.01 http://www.sgforums.com/forums/2023/topics/300252 <blockquote> <div class="quote_from">Originally posted by abao:</div> <div class="quote_body">mkv does not eat up your hdd... ... get your facts right <img title="Rolling Eyes" src= "/images/emoticons/classic/icon_rolleyes.gif" alt="Rolling Eyes" /> its the bitrate that adds up to the final filesize of a file.<br /> <br /> Becoz most fansub prefers to encode 704x396 @ 175MB for avi (XviD, mp3) and 1280 x 720 @ 233MB for mkv (x264, aac), it seems that the size is larger.
