It's hard to tell how much of the flaws i see are from a flawed input file and from the result of the encoding.
#Small encoded anime forums 720p
Originally this is to take 1080p video to 720p to have them match ( they didn't have said resolution for some reason), and take up half the space. Took an episode of 224Mb to 58Mb ( though the audio was untouched). Lastly, I think the audience would've probably been anticipating to see the result of your encode, rather than another AVS example with an advertisement as the header comment.Currently doing some experiments on encoding using VBR options, and i must say i'm surprised. "4.7GB" DVDs, when in actuality, it's roughly 4.7 billion bytes, or 4.7 billion bytes / 2^30 bytes/GB ~= 4.377GB), then okay, I suppose 10,000kB is fine. If you prefer to go by the way that industries mask disk sizes (eg. I'm not favourable of guestimating the length of a video.Īdditionally, 10,000kB does not equal 10MB. Q2 for Xvid, CRF18 for h.264).įor a more accurate reading of the start and end time of your selection, there are shortcuts. Several key factors play into how much a video can effectively be compressed without visible loss of quality, which is why a lot of people suggest referring to the 1-pass options (eg. If 10MB per minute was optimal, I'm sure there'd be a lot of 240MB (+ audio) anime encodes.
#Small encoded anime forums how to
Where should I start? Since I take it you know how to use VirtualDub (or at least VDM, since you used it in the video) and AviSynth, it would have been a good idea to cut out the unnecessary parts, like sitting on Google typing things, deleting them, then closing/minimizing the browser and the bit about trying to rename an open file.Īlso, 10MB per minute sounds like years of research in video compression thrown out the window to me.
I'm a part of the group of people that learned how to use ASS with the MorphineX guide (giving the syntax and 1-line descriptions) and Notepad. I really don't think anyone needs a guide to figure out how to use them apart from the syntax. Changing the font size and name, using pos and move are all very basic. Regarding the typesetting video, I think you should've skipped some of the basic functions, or if necessary, covered them very lightly. there were some things I felt needed to be noted. The typesetting and encoding videos though. The timing tutorial looked alright from what I saw. I took a quick look at the videos, skipping through.
There are many notable subbers in those fields, so watching releases by them and seeing how they do it can often help you with your own skills (though, a warning on that one - if you do it too much, like I do, you start noticing things with every release that you wouldn't have before, and start picking apart releases without even realising it.)īut yeah, best newbie advice = learn from the experienced people around you. For example, I found that I like to time with the video open (although I time to the audio), because if there's a bit that's not so obvious to time, I can flick to the part in the video and sometimes that helps (not always though).Īlso, another thing for those who wish to take the basics further, I'd suggest looking at the way that other people do each of those. I couldn't read any of the buttons that were clicked, which almost makes the whole learning process obsolete.įor any newbies wishing to learn any of these, I'd suggest messing around by yourself with some of the programs until you've found a method of timing/typesetting/encoding that suits you. The video quality hampers this too much, I found. It is probably more helpful than the basic typesetting video listed above.
In light of Devastator's response, I made a new typesetting guide video demonstrating the creation of a "Note Box" that uses vector drawing, clipping, transformation, timed fade, etc. So for the 99% of you who reads this forum regularly, don't laugh too hard if you do watch these videos and find the methods grossly archaic.Īgain, all the examples only scratch the surface of each arena - but knowing these basic things will allow you to produce a somewhat watchable result. There are probably much better ways of doing all of the above - but this is what I know on how to do them. Timing (I apologize in advance about the volume):
Since they are hosted on YouTube, the qualities are horrendous but watchable.
