View Full Version : I dont know where this question belongs since I encode with divx

I cap cartoons using vdub and use vdubmod to cut out the commercials.
usually each cartoon episode is between 6-8 minutes long. since the toons air for 90 minutes everyday, there is alot to cut and edit. I cut the commercials out and encode them all as one huge divx using 2 pass. each episode comes out to between50 and 60 megs. thats fine. the thing is that since after IM done encoding I load the divx file back into vdubmod and cut out each individual episode. the problem is that sometimes a keyframe isnt between episodes, it overlaps a cut.

my question is is there a way to mark a frame prior to encoding to make sure it gets encoded as a keyframe? or what are the effects on quality and filesize if I set divx to make a keyframe every 1.0 seconds?

any help would be appreciated.

ps. Ive searched and can't find anything on inserting keyframes prior to encoding.

in xvid you can also force keyframes with their zones feature

Maybe just fuzzy logic... :rolleyes:

Just cut out the "individual episodes" before you do the "final" encoding to DivX... ;)

Soulhunter.
there are to many episodes per cap. I use to do that. cut and save the processing settings, convert the trim to avs, load the filters I use with avs then load back into vdub to encode. I always use the same filters. so encoding them all as one bog chunk and splitting afterwards would save ALOT of time. I tried using Keyframe Enforcer, and I guess it doesnt work for the newest divx. any other tool like this out there?
