Some Codecs Settings For Best Quality With Christv
-
- https://ask.fm/kuchniewarszawa
Hi there,
First of all: I really like the program, just looked at it briefly, but looks very nice. I want to test the capturing to see if it's better than my Pinnacle PCTV Vision program (somehow that program keeps crashing when I push the record button).
I used also WinDVR with the Intervideo Filters 3.0 from : http://mpcodecs.narod.ru/
In my Pinnacle program I use this settings:
Video compression: MPEG 1
Bitrate: (Mbit/s): 1.15
Size: 352*288
Audio compression: MPEG Audio
Bit rate (Kbit/s): 128
What kind of settings are recommended to get almost similar results for size and quality in christv?

Why AVI files not editable sometimes?
This is because video editing operating with frames. Compressed video (Let's take MPEG, for example) do not contain frames but difference between them. To start finding difference codec uses ordinal frame - key frame. If you choose non-destructive editing in your editor it will only operate with key frames. Normally, in compressed video, key frames appear only in completely new scene (100% different from previous image). After that, codec will store only newly appeared parts of the image plus moving paths of the present parts until new completely different image will found - it will be next key frame. If you place search mark, or select fragment in non-destructive editing mode, editor uses nearest key frame. If you want to make your video more "editable" or "searcheable" (video players also use key frames for positioning) you can force codec to make key every n frames or seconds.
