rendering avi movies what is the best compressor when rendering out movies as avi?... best for quality?
Humm not sure mate, depends whether you want to stream it or you just want high quality video. Have a look on the net and see what there is, if your using Premiere to render it then have a play around with a few codecs, just remember to check it on more than one machine to check it works across the board. I just usually stick to MS Video 1, Cinepak and MJPEG (Motion Jpeg) Then again these may be a little out of date for what you require.
im rendering from after effects... then im gonna take it into premiere to render as mpeg2 (dvd readable) i'll have a playabout now.. i dont suppose u know how to lay movie files out onto cd so a dvd player will read it?
Humm unless you have a dvd burner then no, But........ Providing you convert it into the correct sized mpeg2, you can use nero to burn the movie as a VCD. That way, 7out of 10 DVD players can play VCD's as well.
yeh im going to use nero.. (its for the quality vid screen stuff) so wud i just need 2 convert the avi into mpeg2 (720*576) and it wud be fine?
After Effects? What does it do? If its the kind of program that can generate realistic explosion effects I'd be interested in rendering some to AVI for conversion into a game I mod for As for AVI.. I'd compress it in VirtualDub using the latest XVID codec.
If you've got an .AVI file, the best program i've heard of for converting is called TMPGEnc. Supports most MPEG formats and keeps the quality. Me and Lazman have used it a few times for ripping DVDs onto VCD/S-VCD.
sorry to hijack the thread but what mod u working on mate? My mate is working on a star wars mod for battlefield 1942, I used to work for a mod called front line force for hl which lost steam last year.
MPMP 2.0 for Bridge Commander - it incorporates my graphic/sound enhancements, and someone else's 32 frame explosion mod with my explosion textures... its well cool. I've done textures for the new ships you can use, including the Defiant You can have a look at the explosion effects and some of the ships - i recorded some short demos from in-game, but you'll need XVID Codec and the FFDSHOW filter to view them in Media Player They've all improved since then tho! Part 1 and Part 2 XVID can be downloaded from http://roeder.goe.net/~koepi/ FFDSHOW can be grabbed from http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/ffdshow/ffdshow-20020617.exe?download
