    Thanks Sciascia,
    but i'm aware of Doc's registry hack for improving the comp. ratio and therefore the
    image quality, but my question is where is better to do the deinterlacing, TmpgEnc or
    VirtualDub
    ?

      mits: I prefer deinterlacing (if I have to do so) in VirtualDub since you can use Donald Graft's exellent Smart Deinterlacer add-in which does a better job at general deinterlacing than anything else I have dealt with (it's also free)

        Technoid - might have something to do with the incorrect posting date a few days ago?

          Greebe,

          What's up with the "." your posting everywhere?
          If there's artificial intelligence, there's bound to be some artificial stupidity.

            (X)VCD settings and question

            Hi all,
            The last 2 weeks i was testing various settings for creating an XVCD and i concluded to the following settings as far as the quality is concerned (displayed on 25'sony-TV and played by a sony 725 DVD)

            1. Capture 704*576 / 6.6 comp. ratio using Matrox MJPG (i can't capture with Huffyuv because i have a Mil II/RRS (not YUV2 support) and a P-II 350 @ 466 (3.5x133)

            2. Encoding with Tmpgenc 12b using :
            PAL-VCD template, unlocking the template from the extra directory and changing the following,
            frame size : 704x576,
            rate control mode: automatic VBR (CQ_VBR), CQ_VBR settings :Quality:100,Max Bit Rate :2500/kbit, Min Bit Rate: 1500/kbit
            Motion search accuracy: high quality
            Video Source : Interlaced
            Field Order :A
            Deinterlace Filter : On, Even Field

            3. Burn with Nero (on CD-RW disk only) having unchecked the option for VCD compliance

            The result is pretty good (even on 25' TV),
            i dare to say better than VHS

            The question is :
            Do i have to deinterlace in VirtualDub or in TmpgEnc ? which one is better ?
            I made a test deinterlacing using VirtualDub,
            but apart from the extra time it took i didn't see any difference in the final mpg.
            Any other suggestions for improving the quality ?

              I think that making sure that you're capture is as good as possible is the first important step. I also prefer MJPEG, its faster, easier and edits nicely. It is also a little smaller and the reason I bought a card that did HW compression. I tweaked mine up to almost 3:1 compression and it re-encodes beautifully.
