Hi.
I have a huge collection of video cds. I just want to compress them @ 700k to store in computer. At preset I am using divx. Is it is a best video codec at that bit rate for the video cds. I'm also interested in WMV and Real Video. Which is the best video codec at this bit rate ?
Please Help Me.

You'd be better off asking at doom9.

It is pretty much the video version of this board.

Nero with that H.264 or whatever was excellent at low bitrates. I personally always liked using XViD for encoding, because it was faster and has never been commercialware. Divx is more popular, because it was the first lower bitrate codec that was mainstream(well that was anti-microsoft).


BTW, hope you have Super Computer or one monster or 3 of a machine. Gonna take ya quite awhile to encode, if you have alot of stuff to convert.

Video CD has only 1/4 of DVD resolution. So it doesn't matter what to use.
Imagine you have a excelent wav music file 44.1 khz after resampling 1/4. There is only 8-16 khz and transcoded to OGG 128 kbit/s. I never will listen that music even if somebody will pay me for that wink.gif

What about the real video 10. They say that they are better than the Mp4. Is it true. Is there any group who tested this ?
[In case I want to encode the dvd (Mpeg 2) @ Higher bit rates.]

Thank you for that. I think the XviD is best answer.
Thanx once again.

I don't want to convert the whole movie. I just want to convert only some clipped
parts.

Thanx for that also. I think it contains really lot of stuffs for newbie like me.

Nero/Ateme AVC. (H264) is by far the best at this bitrate. You can use it via Nero Recode.

Yes, without doubts. http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=90784
There is also an open source codec (the same standart H.264) x264 High Profile. In quality terms x264 and Nero/Ateme H.264 are very similar.

If Nero shows the same fat blocking artifacts as x264 it is absolutely not a good choice IMO. I'd prefer MPEG4 ASP style artifacts over that any day.
