...about credits encoding...

[ookzDVD]

Dear Forum,

I really want to know your experience or the _solution_ from
developer team point of view. ;)

The objective is to encode the credits at the end of the movie
with the worst setting (I don't care about the quality) as long
as it can save the highest bitrates for the movie.
PS.
I usualy only hear the music or song (audio part) not the
video part of the credits ;)

So... which credits encoding method should I choose between
desired percent rate or fixed quantizer ? And what setting
should I apply with.

Thank you.

if you want to do it in the lowest quality possible, then a fixed quantizer of 31 is as low as you can go.

by the way, i remember seeing a post recently where someone had an avisynth script that dealt with the credits differently than the rest of the movie... basically it did the movie with neutral bicubic, and then trimmed the credits and applied a temporalsmoother(10) filter to them as well as bilinear resizing, then returned the movie and the credits combined. never tried that myself, but you might want to look around for that thread if you're interested in compressing the credits as much as is humanly possible.

@ ookzDVD

If you care only about the audio part of the credits, and not about the video part at all, try something like:


splice(trim(source,cut_off_credits),blank(trim(source,only_credits)))


Say, replacing the credits video with only black - I think that´s the highest compression you can get ... ;)


[edit] Even in MetaCode, number of brackets should match!
