Hi Gr?goire, > just done a small try to convert an Euro1080 FTA preview > to mpeg4, with a bitrate of 2500 with mencoder : quality > was very bad... >Anyone already converted (and keeping the resolution) > HDTV with a perfect quality to mpeg4 ? ROFL (sorry!). MPEG4 compression already sucks on normal TV. Doing that to a HDTV resolution should be outlawed ;o))) Please don't misunderstand, but re-compressing (mpeg4) something that is already compressed (mpeg2) is ALWAYS going to give you miserable results. Doing the same to a high resolution picture is only going to make things worse. A bitrate of 2500 isn't enough for standard quality TV. You'll need at least 3-5x that rate if you want to see the advantages of HDTV. At the current stage of development, I never understood why mpeg4 is still around. CDs and DVDs are so cheap nowadays, there is no reason to give up quality for size. Regards, Reinhard -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
