Nero Digital AVC archival quality settings

VA_TAPER · 23rd March 2005, 18:27

Hello all,

I'm tried and tested many a codec and am really happy with ND AVC. I seem to get an overall better quality picture than even high bitrate MPEG-2 (DVD max settings in TMPenc) when working from SDI imported video from analog sources.

I am trying to find settings that will provide archival type quality for my conversions. My main problem is that in darker areas of the picture I am getting blocking between different gradiations of black and can't seem to get rid of them. All the material has been corrected for the lumiance levels, but it is still an issue.

I am using 704x420 4:3 anamorphic resolution with bitrates up to 3kbps for the video.

What settings are reccommended for the highest quality for archival sources?

Also, a quick side question, I can import an .avs scrip in to recode, but how do I get it to find an audio file as well to mux or convert/mux into the .mp4 stream?

Thanks all in advance for the help.

peace, chris
