I know this post is old but i cant keep myself from thanking maverickrohan for his excellent first post.

I am sure trying On2 VP6 for encoding a few samples
I always loved to use a codec that provides Quality with Compresion.

I never used to install VP3/6 Codec from the Klite Codec Pack
After reading your thread i am for sure going to use in in my future
encoding but i feel the time required for compression is a bit more
than Divx and Xvid.

I have now tried On2 VP6 and found out that the compressions + Quality
is really awesome. I have become an instant VP6 Fan.

Is there any hardware Divx DVD Player that has also got support for VP6
Codec.

I have encoded a sample of 30Sec with 688 x 288 resolution.

and the size with Xvid Codec is 10MB approx with AC3 Audio
I encoded it with VP6 and the size is 2.8 to 4.5 MB with AC3 Audio

I used the following settings for VP6
Bitrate:- 300/350/400/450/500
One Pass - Best Quality
Stream from a server CBR
Progressive
Noise Reduction - 0
Sharpness - 7
Rest Default
And the quality is awesome.

I feel 500Kbps is gr8 for DVD Ripping.

Thanks for the info!

Bye!

[maverickrohan]

thanx 4 thankin me

U can try encoding in 1P-Good Quality rather than 1P-Best Quality.........

It gives nearly the same quality as Best quality with the time required almost the same as DivX/XviD...thats a huge improvement.........

 

[maverickrohan]

about the hardware VP62 player............the On2 site talks about VP62 being easily implemented in commonly available DSP Processors.....it depends on the popularity of the codec n bussiness prospects of h/w vendors...whether they'll make h/w VP6 Players

 

[quad master]

Hope so that they support the beautiful VP6 Codec in there
hardware player and someday we might see a VP6 HW Player

i cannot believe it...........this thread has resurfaced after almost HALF A YEAR.............

Anywaz

@drvarunmehta
the link u have provided is just the link for the decoder n not the codec as a whole..

CO-DEC stands for ENCODER-DECODER

now since VP62 was a really good product n was doin well On2 have decided go commercial with it.......so u cant download the Encoder officially

K-Lite Codec Pack is the best codec pack where u not only get VP62 (encoder-decoder both)

but also DivX WMA audio codec for ripping the audio in videos......@ 64kbps! it gives u amazing quality with really low filesizes which then allow u to increse ur video bitrate........

Another trick about K-Lite Codec Pack is that if all the codecs uv installed on ur comp dont show up in ur encoding softwares like VirtualDub or #1DVD ripper.......goto k-lite codec pack->Config->codec tweak->clear VIDC entries....

@rollcage
diff between VirtualDub n VirtualDubMod is that the former only supports MPEG1 whereas the later supports MPEG2 as well...

Another worthy encoding s/w is AimONE....its very stable n supports many formats..........

But when it comes to tweaking videos VD rocks.......

 

[club_pranay]

i'll go for DivX 5.2.1 Pro!! amazing clarity with very less space!!!

 

[imcool]

personally, i like mpeg-4 for portability and h.264, but now that you've said the nfs2 videos were vp62, i'll try it out.

 

[maverickrohan]

well divX 5.2.1.........does give better quality compared to divx 5.1.1 but only at bitrates above 500kbps.....

when u wanna rip 2:00 hour to 3:30 hr long movies to fit on 1 CD(700MB)...DivX sux........

n VP62 gives amazing quality for low bitrates...... n at high bitrates VP62 is as good as the real...

i cannot believe it....this thread has resurfaced after almost HALF A YEAR....

alongwith VP62 Codec

i hav read the Help file

thing but could nt understood was the detail that settings have

1.Defult volume?

2.Does the .avi file can be copied on normal cd
if so then does it playable as dvd movie on hifi systems

3.wat should be the resolution.

4.temporary bufer n wat is special optimisation

5.wat is ASPI, i installed but duno wat it is

6.why the Audio Setting for .avi dont show WMA

7.The Setting req to be done for VP62 Codec (a diff tab opens)
and
it also has a option to Browse to the settings file.

I know this is lot of questions
but couldnt understood those.

 

[gxsaurav]

Well, whatever, try encoding to Nero Digital H.264 AVC, it kicks everything out of the compotetion even DivX for DVD, & a lot better then H.263 for TV recordings

 

[Santosh Halemani]

Then where do I find k-lite codec pack. I used to do it with my fav divx. Now change is the step to advancement.

Also tell that how do u compress audio from a movis?
Is it by extracting audio with virtualdub and then convert it and then attach it using Dr. Divx right?

Which is the best codec for audio then? bla bla bla answer me. tHANKS........
