Excerpt from Rule 12:
12) How NOT to post on this forum:

Do not ask "what's best" because this question cannot be answered objectively. Each and everyone has their own view about what's best in a certain area. The best is what works best for you!

try to use default options,
it already can produce good result;)
you might better read some XviD FAQ,
or Unofficial XviD FAQ (http://ronald.vslcatena.nl/docs/xvidfaq.html) :)

*sigh*

Why are people so hostile around here?

Sure it can't be answered objectively, but what's the harm in posting your own views and experiences on the subject? After all, sharing knowledge is the best way of gaining knowledge, or so SunG said.

In general, I've found that low motion benefits from shrewd use of b-frames, since they are best deployed in the sections in which they can reference the nearest p-frame without much difference. 2 or 3 max consecutive b-frames with a offset and multiplier of 1 should work best.

I'd recommend strict scaling if it were still available, since it does a great job on keeping frames ~ the same quality. However, one can imitate it by setting 2nd pass culling to 0/4/7.

kagura, the best way for gaining knowledge is...:readfaq: :readguid: :search:
If you cant find what you're looking for (i doubt it coz this kind of questions have been already answered several gazzilion of times) then search again and again refining your search.
Asking what's best or what ppl suggests for one kind of task is the very last thing to do.

Sure, but what's to say that a newer technique hasn't been developed since the previous post? I have no problem with someone asking a reasonable question like this.

Well, if you think asking what to do in a certain situation or what people's experiences are (how to best handle it) is the "last thing to do," there will be almost no exchange of ideas. This is especially true for compression, for which different settings work best for different types of sources, which is something that I'm sure neither the guides nor the FAQ has.
