how did you get it that small? i'm converting a 124 min movie and the thing is already almost a gigcdl said:I've converted Mr. & Mrs. Smith (120min) and the file is appr. 500Mb
Well, video is 384kbps and audio 96kbps, so pretty low, but I don't see the difference. First try was with video 768kbps and audio 128kbps.wezman2k said:how did you get it that small? i'm converting a 124 min movie and the thing is already almost a gig
don't try and encode any video for the iPod with a bitrate of 768 because the 768 limit is for the video and audio combined (that is, when you're using h.264. those settings are fine for MPEG-4). i'd suggest a bitrate of about 500 - 600 for the video and i use 160 kbps audio, works great. hope that helpscdl said:Well, video is 384kbps and audio 96kbps, so pretty low, but I don't see the difference.

the benefit of running two passes is that on the first pass, it doesn't really do any encoding(well, that's what i think, could be totally wrong) it just looks through the file and precesses where it can compress it more. basically you (in theory) get better quality files and/or smaller file sizes. so basically, two/multi passing a movie will pay off in quality, but will take a lot longer (incredibly long time for h.264, but worth it for the space saving and quality)wezman2k said:haha, i'm dumb. i was totally reading the label wrong, it was in kilobytes, not megabytes.
but again, what is the benefit of running two passes instead of one?
i'm talking about mult-passing in videora. when you transcode the dvd file into mp4 - for the ipod.laxattackdog said:what is multi-passing? is that where you save the dvd to your HD and then convert it instead of converting directly from the dvd?
