Video sample rate only 12bit (XviD)?

[Henry The Ripper]

I've seen may rips that have good quality and the video sample rate is 24. I've been getting 12 for a while now and I can't figure out how can that be configured? I think it might have something to do with my other problem, witch is oversized files.

I'm using the latest Xvid 1.0 Beta3 with the default settings and Guardian Knot 0.28.7.

AFAIK, "All" MPEG codecs work in 12bit mode !!!

Could have to do with VDub's fast/full-processing mode...

See what colorspace you get when you use VDub's full-processing-mode !!!

Even when it shows 24bit, It should be still 12bit...

Hi -

I'd recommend you use the search, this has been covered. The files are not actually 24 bit.

Hint: XviD uses YV12 colorspace.

Most MPEG-like codecs are 4:2:0 YUV, which is 12 bits per pixel on average. What you're seeing is most likely due to the renderer used:
it may be rendered as 4:2:2 YUV (16-bit), or 24-bit RGB.

They're all the same, and it's always better to avoid colorspace conversion, so 12-bit YUV is the best choice.
