Cool. I'm trying to basically get as close to lossless compression as I
can. I can't do rawrgb, it's just too large. However, why does something
like:
/usr/bin/mencoder -tv on:driver=v4l:width=640:height=480:input=1:norm=ntsc
-ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mjpeg:vhq:vqscale=1 -oac mp3lame -lameopts
cbr:br=192 -o /mnt/c/test.avi -endpos 60
use more cpu than something like:
/usr/bin/mencoder -tv on:driver=v4l:width=640:height=480:input=1:norm=ntsc
-ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mjpeg:vhq:vqscale=2 -oac mp3lame -lameopts
cbr:br=192 -o /mnt/c/test.avi -endpos 60
Shouldn't it be the other way around?! After all, I'm doing less
compression with vqscale=1 than vqscale=2. Also, what's the best method
for deinterlacing? I've tried lavcdeint, but it seems to add artifacts...
Thanks again!@
