Hi - Saw the posting earlier today (oops - it's after midnight now ;)) about fitting (S)VHS onto a DVD and having space problems.
I (just) finished the 2nd encoding run of the day - a bit longer than expected since both tapes were in the 90 minute range. A 92 minute movie (164514 frames) from VHS ("Cry of the Banshee" - 1970 Vincent Price movie, not one of his best ones but "ok") ended up looking like this: -rw-r--r-- 1 sms staff 19806724800 Dec 20 23:13 cotb.dv the raw DV file obviously ;) after 9h15m of encoding time using this pipeline: smil2yuv -a $N.wav ../$N.smil | \ y4mshift -n 6 | \ yuvdenoise -S 0 -r 16 -t 5 -l 3 -b 14,4,692,468 | \ yuvscaler -M BICUBIC -I USE_704x476+8+0 -O SIZE_704x480 | \ bfr -b 10m | \ mpeg2enc -M 2 -f 8 -q $Q -4 2 -2 1 -N -o $N.m2v the resulting .m2v file looks like this: -rw-r--r-- 1 sms staff 2164256895 Dec 23 00:05 cotb.m2v audio (224kb/s mp2) adds: -rw-r--r-- 1 sms staff 153701185 Dec 23 00:09 cotb.mp2 With overhead that's just a touch over 1/2 full. Black out the garbage and using yuvdenoise does wonders ;) Cheers, Steven Schultz [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Mjpeg-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mjpeg-users
