tmpgenc of course. the kvcd tables were designed to reduce the bitrate to allow for longer playing time - once detail/contrast/sharpness is lost it can not be recovered by raising the bitrate. > With kvcd you can use higher bitrates. I have to encode a movie with Yes, and defeat the purpose of using the kvcd tables in the first place ;) Depending on the material you can see the effect of the kvcd tables - slight softening or less sharpness at times. > more than 2 hrs at a bitrate between 4000-4500kbps. For clean material I'd start with "-q 6 -K tmpgenc -E -10" - that's been a good combination of parameters for me.
