Nero Vision (edit:) Motion Adaptive Frame Rate Conversion |

| Can anyone just tell me a little more about motion adaptive frame rate conversion, or frame rate up as i've read. I can't seem to find much information about it. Should it be used with progressive encoding?
(Original:) In Nero Vision 6 (Nero 9) under make a dvd/more/video options/encoder quality fine tuning, there is a slider next to the word speed. It ranges from one to one hundred. On the right of that it shows the arrow box with the word quality above it. Now, I would guess that one hundred would equal the best quality, but I remember when encoding that the lesser the quantizer the better the quality. I just wanted to clarify that one hundred would be the best setting for quality. The only reason I ask is because to the left of the slider is the word speed, and I just wanted to make sure before burning. Also if anyone would like to make any comments on any of the other settings because I only have basic knowledge of them. untitled.bmp Edit: I changed aspect ratio from Automatic to 16:9 |

| This is the problem with toy software. It uses non-standard terms and methods of describing functions. This is like using qualitative descriptions instead of meaningful numbers.
In this case, treat it like a qualitative percentage. The higher the better. It has nothing to do with quantiser encoding, as you are doing a 2-pass VBR encode. Behind the scenes it is probably doing things like choosing a different encoding matrix, perhaps sharpening the image (which can give the impression of a higher quality image, even if it isn't). As you go to the left, you will get faster encoding, but potentially lower quality as the encoder cuts corners to get through the job faster. Again, in trying to simplify the controls and settings, they also hide what is actually going on, leaving you no option but to simply trust them and hope for the best. Where does this leave you ? I would select a small section of the video you are working on. A minute or two will be enough. Then run a series of test encodes at various quality settings, from 50 - 100 % in 10% increments. From this you will get a feel for what quality differences (if any) it produces, and also what impact on the encoding speed this setting has. Disclaimer : While I was once a Nero burning Rom user back in the day, I have long since left it for far more capable tools that require far less resources, give far greater control over the result, and produce far better quality |

| I read somewhere in another thread something with the registry that even though you change the settings it still is registered to encode a certain way. Speed doesn't matter to me what matters to me is the quality. Anyhow thank you for the elaborate answer. |

| If quality is important to you, Nero is the right tool.
Personally, for a simple start, I would recommend AVStoDVD. Use it to create elementary streams encoded with HCEnc, then author in a decent authoring tool. Burn with Imgburn. You don't need Nero. That is, if quality is most important. |

| Ha, yeah it's taking me 13 hours to burn, but thats ok, I just let it go overnight. One more thing that I don't really understand (I don't want to have to make a post a new thread), that is motion adaptive frame rate conversion. Should I use it? Do I need it? Also, does it have to do with de-interlacing, because I am encoding with progressive, and I don't need it. Could it contribute to the quality of the video or is it something that doesn't need to be there that could potentially worsen the quality. |
