dvd > xvid

[blas]

hi i left gknot. i think i could get better result manually..

well iam using:

dvd decrypter + dvd2avi
then:

i make an avs file:

mpeg2source("movie.d2v")
crop("y1,y2,-x1,-x2)
lanczosresize(new,resolution)

i tried lanczosresize and lanczos4resize its the same result i think.
iam making 2CDs rips pass1 config is:

Global TAB:
Motion Search: 6 - Ultra High
Quantization type: MPEG
FourCC used: XVID
Max I-Frame interval: 300
Min I-Frame interval: 1

enable lumi masking: NO
enable interlacing: NO

Quantization TAB:
Min i-frame:1
Max i-frame:31
Min p-frame:1
Max p-frame:31
Min b-frame:
Max b-frame:

(all setting is gray, i cant change them)

Two Pass TAB:
i-frame boost: 10%
discard first pass: yes
dummy 2nd pass: no (grey)
curve compression: (all grey)
high:0
low:0
bitrate playback:240
payback with bias
fist pass stats: its okey

Alt.Curve TAB: all grey
Curve agression: medium
high distance:300
low distance:300
automatic min relativle quality: enabled
strenght: 50
min quality: 50
automatic bonus bias: enabled

these arent grey:
max bitrate: 10000
max overflow improvement: 5
max overflow degradation: 5

Debug TAB:
automaticly detect optimizations
CBR options: (all grey)
reaction delay factor: 16
averaging period: 100
smoother: 100

done.

2nd pass setting are the same, i use Xvid 2nd pass Int. and i just set the file size, no change in advance settings..

now you know my settings
the question is how can i make sharper rips? so sharper lines in the image
lanczosresize and lanczos4resize its the same its cool but i've seen rips from some rls groups with much more better quality.

someone told me that i should use MPEG Custom, but i wont do that because my DVDplayer (Yamada 6700) wont play that 100%

please suggest me some other things. some filters or dunno
iam using avisynth+vdub

thanks in advance:

Alot of the settings were greyed out because those are the 2nd pass tuning options. Try and lower your quantizers to 1,6,1,6 on the second pass. The first pass uses 2 across the board to analyze. Use perfectXviD to read your stats file for proper Curve agression distances. Make sure the movie size is calculated properly. There are a crap ton of guides here and on other sites. You need to experiment with other guides and come up with your own conclusion. Oh ya, experiment with a small clip like 5-10 minutes worth, it will be alot more efficient.

If you have an avi that you think looks nice you can check out what quant matrix was used with MPEG4Modifier.

"Use perfectXviD to read your stats file for proper Curve agression distances."

i opened the 1st pass video.stats there. what, or how can i change anything there? i mean whats that interval etc. i have absolutly no idea howto make proper curve agression.

thanks in advance.

celtic_druid:

i checked an internal 2cd xvid rip, that has very good image.
the result was:

Pixel Ar: Square Pixels
Packet Bitstreams: NO

Packed bitstream: No
QPel: No
GMC: No
Interlaced: No
Aspect ratio: Square pixels
Quant type: H.263

I-VOPs: 1640 (1,74%)
P-VOPs: 45841 (48,58%)
B-VOPs: 46878 (49,68%)
S-VOPs: 0 (0,00%)
N-VOPs: 0 (0,00%)

Max consecutive B-VOPs: 2
1 consec: 55,71%
2 consec: 44,29%

i dont know whats these..
well i used H.263 for a 1 cd rip and it was unwatchable
very crappy image.
