Is anyone familiar with xvid4psp avi setup?

Which one is the best... I can't really find info on each of the different avi format settings. If possible can someone tell me which one is best for quality.

And on another note, is increasing size for 2 pass size (230mb) for a file that's 175mb a good choice? Or should I just go with 1 pass extreme encode (constant quality, and what does the number tell... default being 3).
- and avi can be a container for x264...? I just noticed that right now...
- q16-q21, which is best?

Which is best ? Mmmm. How long is a piece of string ?

What is your source ?
What do you want to do with the file ? Standalone playback ? WD TV ? Different requirements for each.


Without knowing what you have and where you want to go, it is impossible to give you a recommendation.

Personally, I would not put H264 inside an AVI container. Standalones won't play it, and many software players will have problems. Leave H264 for MP4 or MKV files instead. If you are encoding H263, the smaller the Q value, the higher the quality and the larger the file.

It's a avi/xvid source. Just keeping it in pc, but might cut the avi and append it later on depending on my preference in the future. What's a WD? Well I'm not trying to re-encode it for tv use. I'm just making a little change in resolution (it's a 4:3), not trying to make it 720p or anything. So would that extra size be of any benefit for the 2 pass size encoding?

Edit: Oh and thanks for the response.

I've tried the 1 pass extreme xvid and it came out smaller than the original (in size).

And what's AVI DV PAL/Miezu used for? (size seems to get huge when i change it to those.)

Post a media info of the file, and a screen shot if possible. You might be making this much harder than it needs to be.

DV AVI is the same as recorded by Mini-DV cameras. 13 GB/hour footage space requirements. Ideal format for editing.
