What´s the exact difference between 'decoding', 'encoding', 'recoding' and 'transcoding'?
Transcoding ("Re-encoding")
Conversion of a video file which is present in a special format into another video format.Recoding
Conversion of a video file which is present in a special format with special attributes in the same format with different attributes (e.g. 2 h movie with 3000 Kbit/s into 2 h movie with 2000 Kbit/s).Encoding ("coding")
Creating a video file in a special format (e.g. MPEG-2, MPEG-4, ...) - You´ll need the right encoder (codec) in order to be able to create these files e.g. a MPEG-2 Encoder in order to be able to create MPEG-2 videos. You´ll need these encoders for transcoding and recoding video files as well.
(Encoding is usually equivalent to "compression type", as you are typically compressing the video.)Decoding
Simply opening and watching video files with a video player (e.g. a MPEG-1 Decoder for opening a MPEG-1 video file). Or opening the file by a program as part of a re-encoding process.
A codec (coder/decoder) is a software component that allows for the encoding or decoding of a file type.
Many "codecs", however, only allow for the playing (decoding) of video files; you typically have to purchase an upgrade in order to encode to the format.
For example, the free 'DivX codec' allows you to play every version of DivX content ever created, but if you purchase the 'DivX Pro codec', you can encode an AVI or MPEG file into DivX.

AVISynth | Included in Gordian Knot (GK). |
Again, who knows. Something to do with "Frameserving", whatever that is. The whole 'making scripts' thing is confusing... Comprehensive documentation included, but still complicated as heck, as it goes from A to C (assumes you already know how to do B). Wasted too much time looking at old forums and outdated web pages to figure this out. Alternative: use GK or AutoGK. From the included guide: "The simplest thing you can do with AviSynth is the sort of editing you can do in VirtualDub." |
From the included documentation: "First, you create a simple text document with special commands, called a script. These commands make references to one or more videos and the filters you wish to run on them. Then, you run a video application, such as VirtualDub, and open the script file. This is when AviSynth takes action. It opens the videos you referenced in the script, runs the specified filters, and feeds the output to video application. The application, however, is not aware that AviSynth is working in the background. Instead, the application thinks that it is directly opening a filtered AVI file that resides on your hard drive. " Sounds simple, right? Only if you know how to write, save, create an avs file, and call the script... |

Notes & Quotes:
-------
[subject: fast backup to DVD-R; removing extras]
"I don't know of any way to remove the extras without 'Nero Recode 2'
putting a blank screen or a screen of your choice. I don't like this either.
I really don't do any re-authoring so I'm not sure what your best bet as far
as programs to use. I usually only to a full backup DVDR. I'll check into though.
When I use Slysofts AnyDVD which runs in the background and Nero Recode
2 I can do a DVD movie in about 45 minutes. About 30 minutes of encoding
and 15 minutes (4X) of burning. That's as fast as I've gotten so far and I've
tried about all the other software out there. This time is very consistent.
"
"There is a 3rd choice, which does an excellent job. DVD Decrypter to rip
in the file mode then Nero's recode2. You can trim off everything except your
main movie, leave 1 extra or whatever and then burn to disc still keeping your
menu function. A full version is available for 30-days and when that's up you
can download it again. CloneDVD2 also does a super job as does DVD2One -(Ooooppp,
I guess I went way overboard on my counting -:)
OK, stick with recode2 an extremely good and much underestimated proggy.
Give it a shot, you'll never lQQk back (well, maybe sometime you will, life becomes boring and you'll want to change.
For those who are doing the vote counting, Recode2 for the top spot,
DVD Shrink using Deep Analysis and the Quality Settings a good Second
place, and coming around the track 5 minutes after the race ended, XCopy
for pple who are desperate and could care less about quality" [thread]

How to fix audio problem if an .AVI is converted to an .MPG using TMPGEnc
To fix some audio problems (sound that was in-sync in the original
.AVI which becomes out-of-sync if the .AVI is converted into a MPEG movie with
TMPGenc):
1) Extract the audio from the movie with VirtualDub, with Audio set to "Full
processsing mode". When you open it, VirtualDub will give some audio warnings,
but we knew it, isn't it? Do in Virtuadub File___Save WAV.
2) Compress the about 1 - 1.5 GB .WAV file into .MP2 using "BeSweet"
and the BeSweet GUI (http://besweet.notrace.dk/) choosing as type: MP2 for SVCD:
it will become about 100 - 200 MB. Delete the .WAV, now it's useless.
3) In TMPGenc, when you convert the .AVI into MPEG, use as 'audio input' the
.MP2 file you just created. (Multiplexing that .MP2 with a MPEG movie isn't
possible, sorry.)
I did what this
said, but it's still out of sync!
Really basic newbie guide: "Backing Up DVDs Using Nero 6.x.x Ultra Ed and Recode2"
Q: How do I make a DVD-Video disc from a VIDEO_TS folder?
Variants: I have a folder with a bunch of VOB BUP IFO [ .BUP/.IFO/.VOB files
] files: what do I do now?
A: This folder and the files within are called "pre-authored DVD-Video".
You can burn pre-authored DVD-Video to a DVD recordable disk using Burning software,
such as Nero
Burning ROM.
Read this
guide.
Q: I have a VIDEO_TS folder (VOB, etc. files) on my hard drive: how do I just watch the movie?
A: Some software DVD players can play VOB files (the VOB files are essentially MPEGs, the other IFO and BUP files are only needed for making a compliant DVD-Video disk).
PowerDVD -- I used to use this[2] because it came free with my computer. But note that you won't be able to watch it like a regular DVD;
in other words, you won't be able to use the DVD menu, and you won't be able to select the audio track (like a different language), and you won't be able to enable subtitles.
To watch it like a regular DVD you will have to first turn the files into an Image file, then load the Image into a Virtual Drive.
Either that, or just burn it to a recordable DVD. If you don't have a DVD burner, but you have a CD burner, you could make a VCD (Video CD) or SVCD (Super Video CD) instead.
Nero Theatre -- MUCH better. Is intelligent enough to play a VIDEO_TS folder as if it was a DVD disk. (Good for previewing your DVD project before burning it to a disk.)
Also has a ton of cool little features (like snapshot, zoom, etc.) And the video quality seems to be better too.
Q: What is Interlacing?
A: http://nickyguides.digital-digest.com/interlace.htm
A: http://www.digitalfaq.com/capture/interlace.htm
A: http://www.doom9.org/ivtc-tut.htm
Q: How can I tell if my source video is interlaced or progressive (interlaced
or not)?
A: Most source in use today is interlaced. Unless it was created on a computer
or is an official release of a film, then odds are that the source is interlaced.
All broadcast television, cable, satellite, VHS, S-VHS, Beta, Laserdisc, 8mm,
Hi8, Digital8 and most DV sources are interlaced. That being said, if your original
source is a digital file, you can't be sure (it might have previously been de-interlaced).
GSPOT v2.51 or higher
detects I/L (interlace) or PRPG (progressive) and tells you TFF (top field first)
or BFF (bottom field first) or pulldown (3:2).
Nero Recode 2
will also tell you in plain English whether your source is interlaced or not:
Select "Copy DVD to Nero Digital". Then select your source video.
Then click on the "Video" button to get the "Nero Digital Video
Settings".

NOTES
Video File Formats:
M2V (.m2v) -- MPEG-2 Video stream, no audio. (See MPV.) Often seen with seperate .mpa (MPEG Audio) file.
MPV (.mpv) -- MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 Video elementary stream (no audio). Also called M1V (.m1v) for MPEG-1 video and M2V (.m2v) for MPEG-2 video.Re: m2v vs mpg2 vs cue
"i have been using dvd2svcd for all my rips/encodes. I love the quality that i get from it (4 pass vbr)... but my problem is that i am trying to make svcd's with scene selection menus. I can do this, i think, using ulead's dvd moviefactory; the problem is that factory requires an svcd compliant (mpg2) video stream.
dvd2svcd only outputs a cue file (as far as i know) so, if i use tmpgenc to get a compliant stream, as far as i can tell, the vbr limit is two pass (thats the only selection i see in the drop down menu anyway)
Is there a way i can accomplish what i want (scene selection menus with 4 pass or equivalent quality video) on an svcd?
A: [april 2002] : You can extract the video files from your cue/bin files using DaemonTools or VCDGear (latter is the better one; it should allow direct output to .m2p file after you've tweaked the settings).
" just rip the files to hard drive, then use TMPGEnc's MPEG Tools to Demux the VOB files into .AC3 (aduio) and .m2v (video) files. Then you can remux them back together as an .m2p file "Re: DVD to Hard Drive to DVD-R
"You need to extract the info from the original using a ripper. Get the ripper to extract the data and make a disc image. Then you'll need to burn the disc image back to a DVD-r " But to fit a 9 gb DVD onto a 4.2 GB DVD-R, you'll need to remove some content, then use software to reassemble the pieces.
Note that MPEG 2 is variable rate encoding process. So 2 hours can be 2GB or 6+GB. Usually the track that contains the movie and the 5 channel AC-3 are under 4.5 GB so extracting just that (losing all the extras) you'll be able to fit it on a regular DVD-r."Audio File Formats:
.mpa -- MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 Audio elementary stream (no video).
.mp2 -- MPEG-1 Audio Layer2 (audio only)
.ac3 -- Dolby Digital (AC-3) 2 channel audio, usually (mistakenly) referred to as "AC3" (without hyphen) = "Audio Coding specification 3". Variation: "DD", as in DD 5.1 (Dolby Digital 5.1).
See also: "AAC" (Advanced Audio Coding)
.mp3 -- MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3
.wav -- Linear PCM (WAVE format, aka WAV)
