Hiya folks,

I've noticed that there are understandably a lot of varitions in what people feel is "best". Which guides do you tend to go by? I've noticed that the guide on doom9.org varies greatly with the one recently written up by a talented individual.

One used curve compression, the other used mentioned it might have been to use MPEG, another liked the idea of curve compression, another disliked the idea bigtime, one liked i-frame boost, the other didnt.

Recently I tried and encode and got a file that was 90 megs when I was shooting for 160 megs. From what I read I believe this to be because I need to enable more options so that the codec can make a better quality encode. Undersaturated?

I guess what I'm wanting to ask is which one do you go by? Are there any settings that are just flat out *Wrong*?

Just follow iago's 2-pass guide (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=36915)

its the most recent guide and includes the latest settings many forum-users tested and suggested. don't use doom9s guide as it is very outdated and doesn't cover current xvid features.
