Hi,
is there anybody who would help me to answer these questions?
1/ Which codec is the best for EDITINIG purposes?
2/ Which codec is the best for DISTRIBUTION on CD-ROMs?
I´ve been working on a project which includes these need-to-be-done steps: 1/ conversion of the ripped *.vob files into avi (using FlasKMPEG) in order to get a source clip for later editing (in Premiere and AfterEffects); 2/ conversion of the edited material into the video format being used for distribution on CD-ROM.
I suppose that „which is the best“ questions may sound a bit silly as the answer always depends on a number of circumstances which the author often forgets to mention. Not to do the same here are some of them:
1/ As for my computer: PC, Duron 750, HDD 30GB, 128MB RAM, 32MB video card. 2/ As for the speed-storage-quality problem: I really prefer to wait a bit (slow rendering) and delete something to make space for huge files than to edit clips of small, matchbox resolution. (Still eg there may be some too CPU intensive codec that would be annoying even for a patient man like me:)) 3/ As for the final product: I´d like to make a multiplatform CD-ROM, for both PC and Mac comps, if possible.
As far as I know: 1/ for editing, codec using the frame-by-frame compression (may be Motion JPEG?), should be the best one. 2/ I´m not sure but there may be some specific limitations (regarding a codec) when converting vob to avi. 3/ There must be some limitations regarding the editing software (I guess it does not support simply all existing codecs).
Thanks in advance for your help.
