View Full Version : Video Stabilizing Effect on Encoding

Hello,
I have been wondering a lot on the effect of video stabilizing on the quality of an encoding. I pretty sure I'm right when I think that a scene with a still background and some action will look better when encoded then the same scene with a moving background.

In my case, the backgrounds are never still and constantly slightly shacking. I was thinking about stabilizing the videos I need to provide over the web to improve quality with the same bitrate or maybe get the same quality with lower bitrate (thus saving bandwidth and uploading time).

Technical info: I start with VOBs and end with 480x360 .FLV at 800k/s.

I'm sure it changes a lot from one video to another, but I wanted to have your thoughts on this and on what AVISynth video stabilizer you would recommend.

Thanks!

Depan is quite good at stabilize video, but I do not know how much it may increase compressibility.
It made some old hendheld camcorder videos much nicer to watch.

Hello all,
Thanks for your replies, and sorry for my late one!

I had forgotten about the thread after getting other answers in a nother forum.

But the ideas here are very welcomed, I will be testing out things with these.

Thanks!
