ljones Posted February 14, 2005 Report Share Posted February 14, 2005 (edited) Hi, Up until very recently I've been using realencoder ("helixencoder") to record (sometimes) video into realfiles so as to keep the files small (and most people can read realvideos, either on linux,mac or windows). Just recently though and in an effort to try to get better quality at a similar filesize I've moved onto using mpeg4 and using mencoder to encode video. But I'm finding that even with mpeg4 at its worst quality the filesizes are still noticably larger than realvideo files. Right now I'm doing something like this; (this is an extract from a script I wrote); <---- mencoder -tv input=1:driver=v4l:width=768:height=576 -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vbitrate=$quality:vhq:vqmax=31:keyint=300 -oac mp3lame -lameopts cbr:br=$aquality -vf scale=$size -sws 1 -o $name1 tv:// ----> My question is this though -- is there any direct equivilent to realmedia that is cross platform and that can output *small* files like realencoder (helixencoder) does? To date, I've only come across mpeg4 for video, I've not found any direct replacement for realmedia. (Maybe there isn't any?!). ljones Edited February 14, 2005 by ljones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fissy Posted February 14, 2005 Report Share Posted February 14, 2005 h264 maybe, but I don't think there are any working encoders as of yet. The VLC guys and ffmpeg are working on it at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
