Juu-chan! 久しぶり~!

Yeah, I have DivX and various other codecs installed (as well as far more encoding programs than I really need XD) but I still don't fully know what I'm doing. I've read dozens of guides and I still find it hard to remember whether I should be using constant/variable bitrate VS constant/variable quality, what's the formula for working out the filesize or quality I want, whether or not I need to compress or demux or apply filters, which is the most suitable container etc etc so I just go by instinct and trial and error...

Thank you! Though I don't own anything at all, barbosa2007 just kindly invited me over to play ^___^

Ohisashi~ <3

Hmm, I wonder what's wrong then. It's really easy to encode rather than re-encoding it using avidemux. Do you want me to make a guide for you? You're using virtual dub, right?

But I'm really glad to see you again. It's been a long time and I kinda miss everyone :)

Eheheh, thanks for your offer! But I probably just need to improve more ^__^ You can see the AniShi New Year SP sub for an example of what I mean - I managed to get the filesize down a bit from 1.8GB to 1.3GB, but the quality still isn't as HQ as I'd like it to be.

I gave up on using Avidemux and VD since they kept crashing (;^__^A I currently use XviD4PSP which is great for its flexibility since it can encode from almost any format to almost any format.

How are you these days? I admit I don't really check my flist any more and I don't do much on LJ apart from post AD translations

Okay then~ If you would like me to make you a guide for VD, just tell me <3 I usually encode .ts file using avidemux and the quality is good too. There's not a problem with me. I'm using Win7 btw~

Oh, I didn't join the comm and now that the membership is closed I couldn't join lol I just recently back in the fandom, though only for a short period of time (just to tend ANM for the time being until the current leader that I've appointed to replace me come back) so I was late in joining haha. So I'm sorry I didn't know about the Anishi New Year SP ^^''

Just fine I guess? I was currently sick, I think I'm too stressed due to my day job, so I'm resting now. I don't check my f-list anymore now as well, I just don't have the time between day work and also subbing ^^''
