Ok thanks for your advice
. I'd rather use 9000 kbit/s for 1080p and a higher bitrate for lower resolutions but i'm not quite sure how you worked out the bitrate for 1080p. (1920x1080)/(1280x720) = 2.25 .75x4000 = 7000 but i don't understand what ^ means and how it comes to 7348. I didn't know what resolution to use if the bitrate was too low so I got the idea from this site:
http://www.binsearch.info/viewNFO.ph...776729&server= but if it's safe to increase resolution higher than what i have, when i have to use a lower bitrate then that's good
.
So Adaptive Dead Zone set to conservative wouldn't degrade quality even with animation that compresses well, because it only uses it when there would be artifacts anyway?
The guide i read was this:
http://thenexus.tk/encoding-xbox-360...wmv-hd-movies/ the first guide I read but now i want to understand and improve settings.
I'm encoding animation with DQuant set to I frames only right now with a bitrate of 12075 kbit/s. Adaptive Dead Zone is off though. I'll let you know the results.
Yeah i've read version 3 is faster. I'll get that soon. Thanks a lot for your time and help. It's much appreciated.
