is there any mpeg prog which can do thing like VirtualDub?

becos i rec direct from tv to my pc into mpg file..
there is some noise & the file size is big

got 2 que

1 . is there any mpeg prog which can do thing like VirtualDub?
2. is there any way to make the size small beside changing the graphic & size for H & L without touching any thing?

1) Not to my knowledge - Mpeg format is more difficult to modify.

2) if your capturing setup allows, reducing the bitrate will reduce file size, but with a corresponding reduction in viewing quality.

ehh forget to say is i already caputure the file into mpg.. so i dont know how to make the size smaller rather than do anything which make my graphic lousy?

VirtualDubMod works with MPEG files. It won't capture to MPEG (as far as I know), but will let you manipulate the file.

[shujuan]

but it cant save as mpg file.. =/

[Ripper2860]

Oooops! Forgot about that!!

powervcr 2 by cyberlinks captures in mpg2 to whatever file size you want.

As does Intervideo's WINDVD Creator and WinDVR 3.

Womble MPEG-VCR would be the closest thing that I know of (and use). It will let you easily cut out commercials, save to different bitrates, etc. I don't think it has any sort of filters for noise, though, and it is payware... around $120 or so.

One of the things that I've noticed with my MPEG TV captures is that it doesn't look so good on the PC, but looks great when I burn to DVD and play on a TV. Keep in mind you are capturing an interlaced source (assuming you're in the US) and thus, it will not look great on a monitor (in my experience).

If you want to spend the bucks, you could also try Main Actor or Adobe Premiere Pro. These programs handle mpg input pretty well and have various filters.

Or you could frameserve to CCE or MainConcept's MPEG Encoder with an AVISynth script. More on that in the guides to the right.

Good luck!

I use Womble quite a bit and it's the best. Oh, and the guides are to the other right. :P

[hudsonf]

Is that your right or my right?

[Tommyknocker]

You can always use Virtual Dub and framserve to TMPGEnc. I do it often, and it is almost like capturing in MPEG, and you only have to save once.

[shujuan]

TMPGEnc take quite a long time to convert.. =/

anymore other prog?

or is there any other way to do that ? i dont mind to convert into other format as long the graphic is gd & noise is remove
