alright, i've been trying this all day and I just can't get a suitable video file to come out. I'm trying to get a music video from a DVD, to Quicktime 400x300, preferrably in a size below 40mb (I've been trying quicktime mpeg4).
I start with a DVD with a music video; the DVD has some odd flickering which is barely noticeable. From there I ripped all the files and converted with DGMPGDec. Then I use tmpgenc to get an MPEG-1 file, with inverse telecine checked, which greatly reduces the flickering, though doesn't totally eliminate it. This file is muxed, so Quicktime won't export it into 400x300 mpeg4 with sound. So I take that file, and I've tried converting it with Ashampoo Shrink and Burn 2 into a Quicktime mpeg4 file, specifying a larger than source file size so as to not lose any quality. From there I tried resizing with Quicktime only to produce horrible quality, splotchy video. So, instead, I tried taking the m2v file and the wav and making a lossless AVI with VirtualDub, resizing it 400x300. Problem is, I get a 2gb file that neither Ashampoo or Quicktime can handle; both crash on trying to convert.
Anyone have any ideas on how to do this? The worst part is that I head over to http://markromanek.com/video/15.html and see a 400x300 Quicktime mp4 file that's only 26mb and looks ten times better than anything I've managed to make today, even at double the file size.
Any help would be much appreciated.
