Nero Digital AVC Advanced Tweaking

[lpvtech]

I managed to find out some info on tweaking Nero Digital AVC 's options.. Its just too simple ..

Just Goto %Drive%:\Documents and Settings\%user%\Application Data\Nero\Nero Digital.
There you'll have the XML file which has the data about
nero's encoding options including the matrix information..

With that you can even change your own matrices.

Make sure you edit the info at the last step, just before encoding.

Now that you can tweak and change even the matrices in ND,
it makes it difficult to choose between x264 and ND.

The only thing is x264 is free but ND has to be bought and cannot be used with
other application... But that should harm too much since Nero Recode has its own
stuff.. You know its mostly automated with complete control your encode now..
So you don't have to sit before your computer to look into each step like
indexing, audio and video etc.. It's just automated..

can you post a sample xml file please

Thanks Shon3i, I tried to post my XML file... But it was just too large... Thanks for doing it for me...

[bond]

are you sure that this is for avc and not asp? i dont see any special options except the matrix one

[lpvtech]

It depends actually...Check out the <Name-Value> Code at the top..
My XML Code was just too big.. It happened to have many references.... When you change the options every time while encoding, it changes.... When you use ASP then the XML contains stuff abou the ASP and when you use AVC, it contains the settings about AVC.. It has your current config. So the trick is to change the XML Code at the last step of your encode, before pressing the Next button ..


May be the Video Unique ID has something to do with it.. Well.. We'll need to work on it. What all I can say is, we are one step closer to tweak Nero....

The best way is to let Nero code them and then edit out the parts we need to be modified.. That's it..
