Omicron,
Mind posting your newly tweaked default process and what video player you are using?
Yeah, sorry, was hoping to get a snippet on site.
The process is pretty much the standard SmartRipper/DVD2AVI/Headache/VFAPICONV/VirtualDub...Then Windows Media Encoder EXCEPT in Virtual Dub I boost BPS to 1000K (Yep, you read that right) and I Decimate the frames by 2 (every other frame).
Perhaps you videophiles would not like the results, but the 320x240 1000Kbps frames expand to 640x480 like they were made for it.
No slow downs, no audio sync problems, and I even crop my wide screen to remove top and bottom bars and cut 50 pixels from each side to use the full screen.
It is the best I have found and I tried alot of variations. The frame decimation is really not noticable on such a tiny screen and us old 5500 users are way used to it
Try it out and tell me what you think. I could go through my WHOLE process, but that would require a bunch of uploads to this site and a FAQ file in addition to the windows media encoder one that already exists.
I was hoping we could host the 16MB snippet here but I can't send the file to moderators due to size....I will post again if that gets resolved.
oh yeah and player is stock video player (not Kino) on Cacko QT ROM. BTW does anyone know how to stop the player from freaking out when you touch the screen...it comes back after a bit, but it is REALLY annoying.
O
PS(For those of you with old car adaptors for cassette/CD players, the Z works great to listen to movies while you drive, and by closign them and tunring off the screen, the bttery last a good while...though I use an extender or (on LONG trips_) a car adaptor
