That's good to know. I sort of expected that, but it's good to get it confirmed. I'll play with higher values for q. > If you want a stream with a exact size prediction, you have to use a CBR No, i don't want a _very_ precise estimation.

Since you raised the issue: I'm converting NTSC DV streams. Those are interlaced by default (i believe the "professional" notation for them is "720i"). Then i should use -I 1, right? At least that's what i understand from the man page. What's your advice? Should i attempt to deinterlace? I guess not, because i intend to watch these SVCDs on TV (i also make DivX copies to watch on computers). But perhaps i'm missing something?... -- Florin Andrei http://florin.myip.org/ ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: With Great Power, Comes Great Responsibility Learn to use your power at OSDN's High Performance Computing Channel http://hpc.devchannel.org/ _______________________________________________ Mjpeg-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mjpeg-users
