How do i make a mini mkv file?

[brotherhood1997]

I want to make a mini mkv file, i got amagai ss 821mb episode 1, i want to make it 100mb mini mkv. What program should i use to make it mini mkv file?

[hech54]

A video editor, leaving you only the opening and closing credits?

[brotherhood1997]

which video editor?

[brotherhood1997]

i want to decode it to 100mb, but i got told by my friend to make a the bitrate smaller.

Tell your friend he doesn't know his butt from a hole in the ground. Taking an already ruined movie (4.7Gb down to 821MB), and compressing it down to 1/8 of that size will be unwatchable.

[brotherhood1997]

okay, so what should i do then?

I wish there was a like button
" Tell your friend he doesn't know his butt from a hole in the ground" I need to get that into a meeting some how

Hi

May anybody tell me, what exactly "MINI MKV" is?

thanks

Something like this:

Buy a bigger hard drive. I strongly suspect you don't want to have to learn encoding settings and don't want to wait for long encoding times, which are necessary for high quality with lower bit rates.

File size = bitrate * running time

So yes, to make a smaller file use a lower bitrate. The issue is what quality the video will have with that lower bitrate.

Thanks for sample

I'm asking to know what does "mini mkv" mean?

Is that true, mini mkv files are encoded files from another mkv files with lower bit rates (not from sources like Blue ray Disks)??

It just means very low bitrate MKV files. It doesn't matter what the source was.

Thank's jagabo

Does anybody know What 8bit/10bit (Mentioned in some anime mkv files) is??
Like this one: Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo [10-bit, 720p]

[jagabo]

8 vs 10 bit is the bit depth of each video channel (Y, U, V). 10 bits gives smoother gradients but many computers and most standalone players cannot play it.

[Selur]

it specifies whether x264 with 10bit precision or 8bit precision is used. (It has nothing to do with the color space that is used.)
current x264 build can be found over at: http://komisar.gin.by/

I thought 8 bit vs 10 bit was the size of the number they use to 'fill in' each 16x16 square. 8 bit would give 256 possible combinations, 10 bit would give 1024. I figure somehow they blend numbers to get more precise results. I'd loved to be corrected, I actually do wonder about this occasionally.

[El Heggunte]

Yes, I know this thread is from the stone age.

I have been searching many places for an answer to this question. Any Help?

1) denoise + unsharpen the source video

2) use MANY b-frames

3) use LOOOOONG gops

3) choose a low-bitrate quantization matrix

4) enjoy

And we've forgotten an important step: MKVToolNix

[ndjamena]

If you have Lossless Surround Sound Audio and you only intend on watching the thing through stereo speakers, you could use EAC3To and the Nero AAC Encoder on it too. In fact you could use EAC3To and the Nero AAC Encoder on it anyway...

Which question?

42

43

[ndjamena]

There's no such thing as 43! And there's no such thing as a Mini MKV, so there's no way to make one. There are MKVs and that's that. If you want to know how to take an MKV and make a smaller version we'll tell you, but please don't throw buzz words at us.

It's the number of bits used to represent each sub-channel of a YUV or RGB pixel. For example 8 bits of red, 8 bits of green, 8 bits of blue, a total of 24 bits for the entire pixel. You are right that 8 bits can represent 256 different values, 10 bits can represent 1024 different values. Take a greyscale image (the Y channel in YUV) for example: 8 bits can represetnt 256 different shades of grey (from full black to full white). 10 bits gives you 1024 shades of grey. So 10 bits can achieve smoother gradients.

43 is an arbitrary value which can apply to various situations such as i have 43 Cheetos left.

Riiiight, it didn't make sense that you could encode 8-bit videos in a 10-bit encoder until I thought about it. So it does a colour conversion from 8-bit to 10-bit, compresses in 10-bit (and is therefore able to get closer to the original colour without needing to get it exactly) then on playback it's converted back to 8-bit, and if it's converted properly banding and such is reduced...
