Hi Andrei, Well, yeah, but code doesn't change all by itself - there are people making the decisions, etc. Basically, it looks like mjpegtools has a too long development cycle. All the good stuff is always in CVS, and it stays there for years. I guess you're probably still a young fellow

2007-11-06 Thread Andrew Stevens
Hi Andrei, Is it possible that the hi-res matrix does not provide the best image quality? It is very possible! The 'hi-res' matrix does not roll of higher coefficients for inter-coded frames at all. As such it only sane if you have LOTS of bits. If you have less bits a matrix that trades a

Hallo The author/maintainer of mpeg2enc has obtained a modicum of development/free time and has checked in, today, changes to mpeg2enc that restore (or should restore ;)) normal operation and produce non corrupted video. So, do a 'cvs update', rebuild and commence

Hi Andrei, So how usable is 2-pass encoding with 1.9.0-rc? Not at all useable - there's still some bits not yet programmed. The -A 0 stuff is all there and up and running already. Is 2-pass already documented somewhere? (for users, not for programmers) There's not much to document it
