Tutorial: Matroska x264 Encoding 2.3

[Torque]

Ok so if I use this to render a 5 min long video (800 x 600) compared to me rendering a 5 min long .avi encoded video, how would the file sizes compare.

[Daffy]

Once again it compresses better so you need a lower bitrate to achieve the same quality.

[boxXx]

ok i'm getting to understand more of it now

ill definatly use this on my next video that gonna be edited once

[Daffy]

Lets see who'll be the first to use it...!

[Ostits]

Awesome tut daff, was gonna ask for this for the SA comvid!  

[BoBsaget]

Click to edit the video profile and go to the last page and select the CQM i included "gta.cfg".
You need to select this everytime you're going to encode something.
Click ok and then Enque, you will now be taken to the queue and you can start encoded your video.

What should I be clicking here?

Edit, Oh I see, btw you forgot to say you have to make a folder in c:/progr.../megui/tools/x264/x264.exe

Adding the x264 would be usefull for people who don't have it yet, same for the Huffyev.


Edit2:

Okay this is my result, I kinda screwed up some things I geuss cause the quality could have been much better..

Code: [Select]

x264 [info]: slice I:42    Avg QP:21.98  size: 48362  PSNR Mean Y:52.68 U:57.83 V:60.69 Avg:53.78 Global:44.08
x264 [info]: slice P:1888  Avg QP:25.38  size: 35381  PSNR Mean Y:41.24 U:47.96 V:48.25 Avg:42.54 Global:41.44
x264 [info]: slice B:783   Avg QP:25.72  size: 13502  PSNR Mean Y:40.56 U:47.79 V:48.59 Avg:41.94 Global:40.96
Anyways it's still not bad..

(BTW DON'T WATCH THE CLIP IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW THE ENDING OF HL2 EPPISODE ONE!!!!!!!!)

You don't have to add x264.exe, MeGUI downloads it for you and updates to the most recent version when there's a new one out, just hit "Tools" and "Update".

EDIT: Just watched it now, outstanding quality... better than what you see in the best Counter Strike and Quake 3 movies, what bitrate did you use BoB'eh?

[brandon6199]

I was the first person to encode a GTA:VC clip to .mkv

[Daffy]

^ Fact but who got you started?

[brandon6199]

The Great Jonas

[Eddeman]

^ You talking to me ofc!  

I'm gonna use this when I get a comp that can record at non-crappy resolutions, cheers editingmeister

[Cody]

YES *downloads the tutorial with the rest of the tuts I have*
But i'll prolly stick with 3M MP4 since it's good enough for me.

So what types of media players can play .mkv files.

[plumpegg]

looks nice

OH OH I KNOW THIS! CAUSE I WATCH ANIME AND ANIME IS IN .MKV FORMAT OMFG.
