Hi
1st of a special cheers to 1smellyfish for his help & for leading
me to chickenmans tutorial(Tnx chickenman)
That was a great tutorial by Chickenman, alot of effort was put into it , but i still have some
inquiries
i quote the statement as follows...
" This can take 5 to 10 hours or more depending on the length of movie, your computer speed and other movie parameters. Go to Options/Task Priority and set to When Active - High Priority. This speeds up the conversion by 5-10%. So turn the monitor off and go to bed. Wake up Neo and all should be done."
Okay , a poster in the Digital Video forum ,named Abdul, was getting 1 to one conversion time , with a 1.7 Ghz
processor , & 256 DDR ram , i have a 1.6 & same ram , should i expect the same as he
got , how did he get such great time ?????
i have some problematic files here , TMPG cannot open them , so i`m real curious & frustrated wondering what type of files
these are & how to make an Mpg to make a VCD.(AVI2VCD will open them if i decompress the audio with AVI decompress) , but all
i read tells me to strictly use TMPG , for quality ETC....
The so called problematic files follow with all the info i could make available , in my limited knowledge
ALL read as Video clip in windows properties , not DIVX or .avi Etc....i omit the names of the flicks Movie #..
for obvious reasons..
Why wont TMPG (Or even Nero) , open these???????
Ie: Movie # 1, in windows reads as [mm]oceans.11.ts
158 Mb in size(Only part of flick)
IMAGE
width 352 pixels
height 240 pixels
Audio
Duration 56 min 58 sec
Bitrate 55 KBs
audio format MPEG layer 3
Video
Framerate 14 frames/sec
Data rate 47 Kb/s
Movie # 2
Generally the same
221 Mb (1 Hr 14 Min , part of flick)
14 Frames/sec
Another part of this flick is called Good Cam(What
does this mean ???)
Movie # 3
159 Mb 1 hour (Part of flick)
Generally the same , 12 frames/sec
Movie # 4(Cam)
(Same general specs as others , will play
in windows , others won`t , player can`t , plays
the funky visuals that come with media player)
TMPG cant open
(smr)not_another_teen_movie-CAM
Media player plays this as well
TMPG can`t open
Here are some questions centring mostly around concerns of quality(My fear of fudging a good flick Etc...)
& i quote chicken man as follows....
"Check the Frames Per Second - fps. If its 25 fps then its PAL, if 29.97fps then its NTSC and if 23.976 then its FILM. So now click Load and load the appropriate VideoCD template. For a PAL conversion, "
Okay , i have some here @ 12 & 14 frames per second , what format are these ? & can/should i attempt to improve
frame rate?
How much tinkering around can i do in Ie: TMPG to get a quality file ???? Is there such a thing as making a good flick
out of a not so good one(Some looked worse in preview in TMPG than they did on my PC).
TMPG offers alot of options , most concern to me in Mpeg setting -Video tab...Esp pixel size , aspect ratio , frame rate ,
rate control , bit rate Etc.... The other 5 tabs scare me & boggle my already aching head(Hahahaha)
being somewhat versed in Mp3`s , i can judge whether an Mp3 is worth D/L , Ie the size compared to bit rate Etc...
To apply a similar knowledge to movies would save me a great deal of time.So to be of acceptable quality a flick
1 hour long , in DIVX should be of what file size ? , of an AVI , & an Mpg(i`ve experienced a 777 Mb Mpg being of
very good quality.Since , i believe , that AVI & DIVX are compressed (when expanded , become Mpg`s) , so they will
be much smaller with equal quality ???? But some of the 159 Mb & 229 Mb files mentioned above even look like crap on
my PC , & i`ve found everything , no matter how good on the PC , to lose quality once played on a TV(Mine , a 46 " Sony)
So if these curious files i mention above , can somehow be converted/Expaned , will they ever be any better than they are
now ? Are they really a waste of good PC time ?
Now that i have a small handle on what DIVX is , what is an AVI ? How does it compare ? How do i convert 1 of these ?
How can i tell if i have an AVI , a DIVX or ?????? It doesn`t seem TMPG can open & convert AVI.
The final inquiry (Thank god your saying Hahahaha
- ) concerns the one step process nero offers , AVI (& DIVX ??? )
straight to Mpg.i see Nero doesn`t give much quality control , & the option it gives sometimes when it can`t open a file ,
the option to reencode.Is nero of a good enough quality to let it do this ? Because often , TMPG won`t open a file
when Nero will
i say a huge Tnx to all for your time & patience , i hope that once i`m a senior @ this game , that i can return
much assistance , so friendly as you`ve all been to me
Ciao-
