Help?

[cipher]

im using FlaskMpeg
and im ripping from the .vob files
i read some guides and tried some configurations but the quality
is not so good.
can someone tell me what the configuration should be?
i used 720x480
PCM,48,000 Hz, 16 Bit, Stereo
29.971 Frames/Sec, 593 KB/Sec, DivX codec

A tough one....
Make sure you use DivX 4.01 It may be slower than 3, but there's no messing around with low and high motion.

Get a bitrate calculator, or use 1 pass-quality based encoding.

Encode audio as MP3 NOT PCM, at around 96kb/s to 128kb/s
depending on the quality you're after, and don't forget to normalize the volume.

Then for NTSC choose de-interlace, and use the default settings in flask. For PAL de-interlacing is not neccessary, but I have found it sometimes helps get rid of those irritating pixellation effects you sometimes notice.

Or if you fancy a challenge, try two pass encoding, which I can't explain, because it's still a bit of a mystery to me, so go read a guide!

Hope this helps!

I see why you are having problems.

First of all, don't use PCM audio, it's uncompressen and will take up more space than the video. Use Mpeg layer 3 instead.

Also your framesize is much too large for 593 kb/sec.
Either lower frame size or raise bitrate.
I use 1100-1700 kb/sec for with a framesize of 704*X (trying to fit a movie onto 2CDs).

Finally a frame rate of 29.971 is likely to cause you some interlace problems, I suggest you look into some other encodeing methods, using the dvd2avi tool with either vfapi or avisynth.
