The best episode of Bugs Bunny, an informal poll

[Matt Keys]

320x144 and 320x200 or so

Hmm. Well, i'm almost at fullscreen with these. i'm gonna try a portrait size encoding. .....erk!

[Matt Keys]

If I get some time tonight I will encode a video using your settings at 320x240 and see how it runs. and then you can play it too, we will compare results.

[jongjungbu]

Well, I just tried it now at 240x192 so that it could fit into portrait size and encoded it at 25fps and i finally got 25 fps, barely.<br>:)<br>In one sense, that makes me mad. In another, those settings for High quality portrait mode are 240x112, so mine is actually larger and still meets the 25fps. I'm just thinking maybe because I was trying to get these full screen at high bitrates ..and that prolly wasnt gonna work. let me know how your success is.

Movie trailers for d/l would be cool (and legal, right). But what about movie clips, is that ok?

[Paul]

dont people use pocketmovies.net anymore?

[Matt Keys]

My understanding is that we can distibute clips of movies and music videos so long as they are under one minute. But I would like to hear from a lawyer about that.

[Paul]

really? one minute... i suppose theres a law against splitting a film into 120 files and playing them seamlessly... somehow?

[Matt Keys]

I would imagine there is. I think you could still get some funny stuff into one minute. We will have to find out for sure on this one before we start doing it though.

[Paul]

since this has become an encoding thread. how big would my enterprise episodes be if optimised for pocket pc? is divx any good on ppcs?

[Matt Keys]

I have not personally got divx working, but chris has and he said its pretty good. How big your enterpise collection would be depends on the quality settings you use, and the length of all of them put toghether.

[Paul]

well they're about 43 minutes each and i just want them to be good quality. i dunno what settings that would be but something like the quality they use for trailers...

[Paul]

okay, i've got one of the trailers - the size is something like 320x240 and its in mpeg1 - 2.14mb for 10 seconds. <br><br>i want it to look almost as good i suppose... whats good settings for that? i think i can get a 128mb card which i know is a little on the small size but its not a full film - just one episode at a time is fine with me.

[RICoder]

Half the battle is optimization v. quality.  Unfortunately unless you have REALLY good software, its tough to do...

[Paul]

thanks...
