recode mkv file to work with DXVA

[Smile_M]

Hi, I have a few mkv files that are 1080p resolution. They do not work with HA using dxva.

I'm suing Media Player classic Homecinema.

Club 3D HD3850 AGP 512MB
P4.3 Ghz HT
3GB RAM

Win XP Pro SP3

-----------------------------------------------------------

I extracted the files using MKVextract but don't know how to recode them.
Tried to fix them using http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=972503 it does not work. So the only option is to recode them. I would like to get MP4 file that would work with DXVA.

Thank you.

File I need to FIX:

Use Xvid4PSP to re-encode the mkv file. No need to extract it first.

Are there DXVA profiles ? I can't seem to find any?

[Smile_M]

Recoded the file and DXVA works however there seems to be quality drop?

File size is not 80mb but 37mb what did select wrong?

Somewhere along the way you have halved your bitrate.

[poisondeathray]

You reduced the resolution from 1920x800 => 720x576

You will lose quality anyways because you've lost 3.7x the number of pixels from the resize! Furthermore you are using a lossy codec => more quality loss

You are using constant quality mode with CRF=21. If you want to reduce quality loss, try again with a lower setting such as 16-18 if the settings allow you to adjust them

[Smile_M]

Can anyone help me get settings for XviD4PSP 5.0 to encode in same quality as my original file?

[Smile_M]

OK , encoded it with extreme preset changing only AVC level to 4.1,
Audio settings are:
ABR
AAC-LC
Bitrate 640

Configure tab:

48000Hz
Converter SSRC
Keep original channels

Input:
------------------
Codec: AC3
Codec ID: AC3
Bitrate: 640 kbps
Channels: 6 ch
Samplerate: 48000 Hz
Delay: 0 ms

Output:
------------------
Codec: AAC
Bitrate: 640 kbps
Channels: 6 ch
Samplerate: 48000 Hz
Delay: 0 ms
Amplifing: 0.0 dB
