h.264 encoding

[anonymous_whatever]

How do you get h.264 intraframe only encoding?

can you encode intraframe only with x.264?

[poisondeathray]

with x264 you set the keyframe interval to 1

--keyint 1

But in your case, you have to specify interlaced encoding as well, (bottom field first for DV)

--bff


Here are the other parameters. If it's too much, try a GUI for x264, there are many to chose from

And don't expect good quality with lots of compression.

Or with intra for any format at low bitrates (h264 or otherwise) . Intra requires high bitrates for decent quality, it's just that h264 will be slightly better than something like MJPEG

[edDV]

Intra h.264 is only slightly tighter compressed vs DV or DVCProHD (4xDV) for similar quality. The formal standard is Panasonic's AVCIntra which uses 50 or 100Mb/s for 1080i or 720p vs. 100 Mb/s for DVCProHD.

For SD, DV uses 25 Mb/s. Equivalent h.264 intra only is ~14-18 Mb/s.
