Encoding "codecs", and video editing software

<< < (4/4)

Neco:
There's nothing wrong with MeGUI.  Sharktooths profiles are great.

Anyway.  I use a combination of things depending on what I'm working on and what to do.

TMPGenc Xpress 4,  offers everything you have asked about.  It even have some pretty decent filters and CUDA support for them (so if you have a Nvidia GPU that supports CUDA, you can run your filters on the GPU and decrease encoding time).

However when I am working with really bad sources, or stuff that needs to be deinterlaced in funny ways, etc I will switch over to Avisynth / Vdub.

For finished DVD, Blu-Ray, or DivX Ultra (DVD menus) projects, I'd go to something like TMPGenc Authoring Works 4.
Otherwise I'll jump over to MeGUI and do an x264 2-pass with one of Sharktooths profiles.   Then mux it up into an MKV if it needs multiple tracks.

So you have quite a few options.   TMPGenc's stuff obviously can be "found" in various places, but its really a fair price for what their tools can do compared to  Complicated crap like  Vega, Premiere, and other "Pro" tools which I find too complicated and useless for my needs.

After you get your tools, its a matter of reading.  Google, Videohelp, Doom9.   All you need to learn stuff.

As for the Google trolls,  BFD,  at least he said he had tried looking and wasn't finding the answers he needed.   Beats the hell out of the 99% of people that just don't bother to try in the first place.

Ive allready googled around a bit, seems to come up a bunch of codecs for decoding..not what i need.
If its so obvius where to find it, you could link it Slykester.

By editing i mean cutting, resizing, adding effects, etc..

Using avisynth gives you a hell of a lot of control. Cutting, resizing are all easy tasks. If by adding effects you mean post-processing then that's easy too ;) No software to pirate either.

The encoder executable is usually included with a downloadable package from the developer site. i.e. x264.nl for avc. One of the benefits of megui is that it has a feature to download these packages for you. The idea is the same with virtualdub, but is a longer process.

Dont know much about avisynth, exept that it pops up in megui :P maybe ill have to read about it if its that great.
Nice :) i like virtualdub.

Ill take a look at the other suggestions later.

Apple software is not an option gogeta, sorry. iMovies looks nice tho.

I recently figured out that I needed to edit and compress some stuff, so Vegas does the editing and SUPER © the encoding. Seems solid for me so far.

Edit
Removed SUPER © link, since I really have no idea how spyware safe it is.
