How to encode a B/W movie?

[vince]

Considering a B/W picture is much smaller than a color picture, is there a way to trade the color information saved in a B/W movie for better motion or smaller file size? Thanks,

I love old movies that I record of of thr Turner Classic Movies network, but some of the older black and white films are slightly yellowed and there is often extraneous color "noise" that just eats bits. One way to eliminate this is to frameserve your AVI through VDub and apply the grayscale filter (that one might be built-in or 3rd-party, not sure which). It will make your old B&W movie look like it just came out of the Republic Studios cutting room.

You like tcm. I watch it cause its free. Some of them movies are amazingly widescreened arent they?

Where do you capture from anyway? sky digital?
