Good software I can use for re encoding??

[kumarprabhatn]

Hi there.. I have few dvdrips with following specifications
Video:
Format : AVI
Format/Info : Audio Video Interleave
Format/Family : RIFF
File size : 181 MB
PlayTime : 21mn 56s
Bit rate : 1147 Kbps
Codec : DivX 5
Codec/Family : MPEG-4
Codec settings/BVOP : Yes
Codec settings/QPel : No
Codec settings/GMC : 0
Codec settings/Matrix : Default
PlayTime : 21mn 56s
Bit rate : 1094 Kbps
Width : 704 pixels
Height : 512 pixels
Aspect ratio : 4/3
Frame rate : 25.000 fps
Resolution : 8 bits
Chroma : 4:2:0
Interlacement : Progressive
Bits/(Pixel*Frame) : 0.121
Writing library : DivX503b894p

Audio:
Codec : MPEG-1 Audio layer 3
PlayTime : 21mn 54s
Bit rate : 126 Kbps

Now the point is that I want to compress them to nearly half of the file size with minimal loss of quality to h.264 format or something like that. Can anyone tell me which software is good in doing that and with what settings?

Softwares needed:

AviSynth 2.5.7
http://www.free-codecs.com/AviSynth_download.htm

Microsoft .NET Framework Version 2.0
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=0856eacb-4362-4b0d-8edd-aab15c5e04f5&displaylang=en

meGUI
http://mirror01.x264.nl/x264/megui-install.exe

NeroAacEncoder
http://www.nero.com/nerodigital/eng/Nero_Digital_Audio.html

1 - Install AviSynth
2 - Install .net framework 2.0
3 - Install megui
4 - Run megui and do a complete update
5 - Extract NeroDigitalAudio.zip and copy the file neroAacEnc.exe to meGUI folder
6 - Inside meGUI go to menu Tools/Settings/Program Paths and configure the correct path to the file neroAacEnc.exe and clic on the button Save.

Well now everything should be working correctly.

Open the windows notepad and write this command

AviSource("C:\Directory\video_file.avi")

Save this file with the extension AVS (exemple: encode.avs)

Configure the meGUI window like this

Clic on the button Config on the video encoding and configure all windows like this.

Wait some time until meGUI finish encoding the video and audio tracks.

Now that you have the video.mp4 and audio.mp4 you need to make those two files become one for this you need to mux those two files.
Clic on the menu Tools/Muxer/MP4 Muxer and configure like this

Clic on the Queue button and back to the Queue window clic on the Start button and wait some minutes for meGUI to finish the video and audio Mux.

Well this is the end, you have now a 90 MB file with video h264 and audio AAC.

Hi!

Why don't you just use the same software that you originally used to create the .AVIs from the DVDs and adjust the compression rate?

Now the point is that I want to compress them to nearly half of the file size with minimal loss of quality to h.264 format or something like that. Can anyone tell me which software is good in doing that and with what settings?A simpler but equal quality level method is to use Nero Recode. Set target size, select Cinema AVC profile, and use max quality settings with all tools and advanced options enabled and deblock set to default value.

Well.. The software works great !!Thanks :) .. Are these standard settings for all rips, i.e. for ripping from a dvd too?? But there is a slight noise in the video. Is there any filter in megui which can eliminate that??
