| 321955 | 2005-02-07 02:03:00 | SVCD is scalable as far as quality goes, Compression down to 1 cd's worth would be ugly enough to kill a cat at 50 paces. SVCD uses mpeg2 compression,the same as DVD so at full quality its fine,damn fine. I would use dvdshrink to compress to a good size (and ditch the trailers,credits,add-ons,bonus material,unused soundtracks etc etc) and then save the output as an image (as mentioned already) and play them via a virtual drive. |

| 321956 | 2005-02-07 02:11:00 | This also gives the benifit of excellent quality and when you decide its time to free us some space you can burn the iso to DVD and have a fully complient disc that will play in a standalone dvd player . Never seen the use of divx,xvid and whatnot, its still too big to email, and the quality is like staring at dog puke . . . . . this applies to audio and video . |

| 321958 | 2005-02-07 02:31:00 | I wouldn't use mp3 on a movie, and I doubt it suports the advanced audio capabilities in a DVD soundtrack, 5.1 dolby and the other one that escapes me at the moment. Anyhow,when I do compression outside of the pre-defined standards i always specify what audio codec and at what bit-rate I want to use..... |

| 321959 | 2005-02-07 02:37:00 | LOL DivX will do DVD quality encodes if you give it anywhere from 650-1200MB per movie... The audio is downsampled to Stereo/Surround MP3 @ 44/48KHz and any bitrate you desire - 320-448Kbps is excellent! Hell - don't bother transcoding the audio and keep the original AC3 track in there and use a codec like AC3Filter to decode or pass on the track to your Live/Audigy for breathtaking full 5.1 sound! Do the maths - encode your movies and save space without comprimising quality!! |

| 321960 | 2005-02-07 02:37:00 | XviD is better compression that DivX if you ask me - It looks great! At 700Mb there is a difference but its not very noticable between an origional DVD and the XviD! It uses mp3 or AAC, Im not sure which. Pretty sure its 112kbps mp3 though by default. |

| 321961 | 2005-02-07 02:42:00 | It just occured to me that Lo may have been referring to mpeg2 using the mp3 format for audio which as i understand it is quite correct. As to the others,a 1200mb movie is hidiously ugly. But then,I value quality over storage space....and i watch em on my tv with my 5.1 setup, not on a comp screen. |

| 321962 | 2005-02-07 02:47:00 | I watch them on a 19" Monitor at the other end of my Bed. You tried an XviD movie of late? Theyre quite good.... |

| 321963 | 2005-02-07 02:49:00 | As to the others,a 1200mb movie is hidiously ugly . BS :annoyed: I also use a large monitor (and have used a tv) with a full 5 . 1 setup . . . It sure beats 4 . 7+GB per movie and there is not really a noticeable difference if you encode at the proper resolution with high bitrates . . . Maybe you should put in some more practice? :lol: |
