This is about “Total Recall” [this particular disc was a HongKong import with three movies in it; Total Recall was 1.87 GB. I know, I know, they ought to be shot (“No trial, no jury-just straight to execution”-Pulp Fiction)]. Although DVD2AVI said the source (4:3, 29.970, NTSC) was Interlaced, AutoGK judged it as Progressive. Moreover, I did make a tiny project file with a high-motion sequence from the source and examined it frame by frame; every fifth frame was a repeat of the fourth one, but interlacing artefacts could not be discerned. So I made the .d2v project file with Force Film OFF, and then opted for IVTC in GKnot, correcting for frame count.
I have encoded it with GKnot two times. Each time, compressibility test gave different estimates. I kept the % figure between 60 and 70 each time.
The two efforts produced these two files:
Information.....1st Encode.......................2nd Encode
File Size.......703MB Custom 748MB not acieved...750 MB Achieved custom 750 MB
Frame Size......416 x 304........................256 x 192
Length..........158829...........................158829
Keyframes.......4009.............................3810
Data Rate.......762 Kbps.........................822 Kbps
VbrMp3 DataRate.116 Kbps.........................116 Kbps
The files look no different from each other. Conceding that the eye may not spot subtle differences, which file should I keep ? Which should look better on projection ?
I know that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but which one is scientifically and logically better ?
Tell me if it an absurd question, some more info is needed.
Thanks and Regards.
