Hello all,
I tried the transcode to xvid through mencoder (and just about every other freeware out there, tmpegenc, flask etc) and I'm not getting comparable quality video output. I've tried to mess with the options to the best of my abilities but nothing I've done so far seems to produce a reasonable quality video from the mpeg files of the tv recordings.
I tried a software called blaze media player and it was able to convert to wmv (including other formats). But what made me take notice was the file was nearly 1/3rd in size and I could not perceive loss of quality (in the wmv file).
My question is:
From what I can see from online searches, it appears a lot of people are looking to create xvid files - is there any advantage over a wmv file in doing so?
Thanks,
