AVI to anything better?

[Mr Club]

Is it possibile or are you going to dash my hopes and slap me in the face, whats the best tool, i have tmpeg??

[legoman666]

you could make it uncompressed .avi, thats the highest quality of anything availible... but that takes up massives amounts of space tho...

[Mr Club]

How would i even think about trying it?

When you say lots of space? how much like more then say a full DVD rip?


ill try anything once i suppose

[Mr Club]

No one is answering because your question doesn't make sense. What do you want to do with your video: watch on PC, play on DVD player, streaming media, etc. No matter what you do you CAN NOT improve on the source quaility. So there's nothing better than what it already is.

GIGO, any conversion will only reduce quaility (by definition, you may or may not be ablet to see a difference).

To make it uncompressed the easiest way is to use virtualdub. Open your avi then select Video-->Compression then select "(Uncompressed RGB)". Then under file select save avi. Your resulting filesize will depend on two things: resolution and #of frames. It will probably give you a 24bit RGB uncompressed file which means it uses 24bits/pixel. So you can calculate your filesize (in bits) by doing this: 24*(horizintal pixels)*(vertical lines)*(#of frames). Your filesize will most likely be considerably greater than a dvd rip. I don't know why you would want to do this because you'll only get bigger filesize and the SAME quality as your avi. If you recompress it to anything else other than a lossless form (i.e. HuffYUV), which will only give you about half the filesize, you'll be guaranteed worse quality. Remember "Garbage in, garbage out".

Also, I believe it against forum rules to bump your topic up. Anyways, it was only ten minutes since you last reply, sometimes it takes days to get your questions answered. This is a forum not IM so please try to be a little more patient next time

MPEG2 is pretty good, after all DVD uses it.

But as said, what is this for?

The answer for DVD is different than streaming video, etc.
