If so, what do you do and how do you do it? Currently Im using the latest Gordain Knot .35 and x264 pack on DVDs which works great, abiet taking almost 10 hours per DVD disk for a 2 pass on 90mins of video. Makes lovely quality mind. I cant get subtitles working in it though, Ive muxed two ac3 audio tracks: Jap and Eng, and the best output is standard AVI but it just doesnt give me the option to include the eng subtitles ive ripped with it.
i got something called "MainConcept H.264 Encoder" its very good and simple but christ 10hrs on one DVD! im just redoing some videos for me ipod but nothing full screen yet. i havent tryed adding subs from DVD'd yet but ill look into it.
It's two pass, set to "5" for high (not "7" which was "insane" and would have taken 49 hours PER PASS) and hexagonal search. Ive got deinterlacing (no smoothing) and bicubic resampling enabled too, so it all adds up.
Yea, fuxin programs arent multithreaded so basically it's working on a 3.2Ghz Prescott which sucks balls.
Hmm... I rather like my one-hour single-pass approach with 100% quality XviD. Big files, but it's mighty quick; very very rarely slower than 1%/min.
I'm using various apps ripping into h264, such as Videora and Avivo (got the one that works for all gfx cards), though the quality isn't brilliant. I don't mind, becuase I can't see the difference of a super high quality encoded and an average quality encoded version on my iPod due to the small screen...
Trust me, it is. Possibly not as small as it could be, but it retains every pixel of the original movie. I just need something that handes AC3 audio a bit better with my DDL card. I'm trying h264 for my iPod now.... iffy luck. Videora refuses to work right with widescreen movies (even in the widescreen mode), and I really don't wanna pay $30 for this Cucusoft thing I found that does seem to work.
