This program has really come on since its freeware days. What excellent results. I'm also surprised how you can even convert say for example an xvid at 23.96fps progressive into PAL format and keep the entire, exact film length runtime in perfect synch with the audio and not make a mess of it e.g chipmunk voices-pitch change or blurry messy of field interpolation. I prefer PAL because of interlacing artifacts of NTSC at 29.97fps, especially visible when you pause your DVD. Also works perfectly in my old XP based laptop.
I would say this is all thanks to the developers correct usage of FFMEG which it is based upon. The options and GUI are great. You can enhance your picture with the enhanced colors option, but on the whole I think unless your source is of vhs standard leave it well alone as it overdoes things on a good clean source. Great tool for episodic discs too.
Also just use the 1 pass as this software uses its own special version of CQ(constant quality) and it will be very rare(unless your source is a very long project etc!)for a 2 pass to be of greater benefit than this- you can still use it though, as it is there in the program options. Well worth the money I say and so great to use. There are rumours the company us struggling due to the staff being a bit light/not available whatever that means?, but I hope VSO continues as its products are really great and not overpriced like many out there. You get a full 7 day working trial to try any product out. |
