Improving picture quality with TMPGEnc

[frogmella]

hello peeps,

I'm converting a divx movie to VCD, i've done a sample and the picture is now a bit pixelated compared to the source, it's a in pal 352x288, the final file size will be about 650mb so i still have a bit more room to play with, how can i improve the pic qual?


thx

You could increase the bitrate, but then it would'nt be a standard vcd anymore, it would be an xvcd. You would have to check that your standalone player was capable of playing xvcd.

There are several options:
-Higher motion search (like maximum)
-Noise reduction filter
-Soften block noise
-Longer GOP
-Uniform quantize matrix (like an 8x16 grid)

frogmella:

In TMPGEnc, choose Load and then go into the Templates directory. Choose the file Unlock and click on Ok. That will unlock the options so you can change them.
