Cabel/TV-tuner/encoder - yes!

[dilbert]

Hi,
I'am starting to get a hand on capture/encode TV-capped series.
But I always go for the best result.
In general when i convert vob to mpg-file (SVCD), each engoder give
the same "quality", the only differences is the time used.
Now I'am using DVD2SVCD(with CCE), and are wery satisfied with the result.

But my cabel-delivery does not have the same quality on all channels. So my question is witch encoder to use? When I use TMPGE(SVCD), marked "Noise Reduction" and "Sharpen Edge" under advanced settings, i got the BEST result. The only drawback is the days my PIII-500 is working.

If the avi-source that i have capped is wery noisless, i use AVI2SVCD (part of DVD2SVCD), and the result is OK. But some avi-capped sourses has moe noise than i like. And the result even with 5-pass encoding is nothing to bragg about.

How do YOU solve similiar problems.

Best regards
Dilbert

Check the capture forum. There are many threads where you can find different approaches.

And I disagree with every encoder gives the best quality, if that would be true we all would use the fastest encoder and forget the rest, wouldn't we? Apart from that not everyone can buy CCE :scared: .

You could try to use VirtualDub or Avisynth filters (many are much faster than the ones from TMPGEnc).

Like I said, in the capture forum you can already find many solutions, so read first THEN post.

Thank you and good night.

Cheers,

Mijo.
