How do I make a better quality mpeg using mencoder

Using:
mencoder /media/KINGSTON/file.wmv -vf scale=720:480 -ofps 30000/1001 -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg2video:aspect=16/9 -oac lavc -lavcopts acodec=mp2 -o /media/KINGSTON/file.mpg
I get a lot of artifacting in the result.  The original files are fairly high quality.
I want some decent output files to make DVD's

Thanks.  Had to build it from AUR.  Do you use Amarok?  Avidemux from the repo wanted to upgrade faad2 and it breaks Amarok's ability to play back m4a (aac) music files.  I encountered this on another system as well.

  • How to make sound better quality?

    So I exported a preview of my animation but the sound isn't high quality. How can I make it better quality? It doesn't sound like when I press Enter in Flash CS5.

    Go to the publish preferences and see what bit rate is set for the compression of the audio. Be sure to check both stream and event.

  • How can i make iMovie -- iDVD quality better??

    I have search about the idvd quality in this site but i can't solve my problem yet.
    I had a sony DV cam which is PC3, Pal. And I use the imovie..import...edit, then use "share" to idvd...then burn...
    So I play the finished DVD in a DVD player, i find many many pixels, the quality of the DVD movie inside is like a VCD. In fact, my DV cam is not the lastest and fine quality, but i surpose the DVD movie should be same quality as my DV cam.
    So I use another method to test whether my DV cam....(is model too old, something wrong with my DVcam...)
    (1) In imovie, use "share" to my DV cam tape
    (2) then i use another converter which is borrow from my friend, is like a DVD burner and player. which can convert the DV tape or VHS...directly convert and save in a DVD disc.
    (3) after burning the file. the quality is fine, just like what i shoot from my DV cam.
    So what's the problem?? Is the convertor between imovie and idvd not good enough??
    Or I need to use other methods? for example, use the imovie export a quicktime movie, then use the toaster make the DVD or VCD is better ?
    How can i make it better??

    select Quicktime and sele4ct full-quality
    That is an option, too, but I use that only when troubleshooting.
    iMovie automatically creates a reference movie when it saves at iMovie_project/Shared Movies/iDVD/*.mov. Using the ref.mov instead of a full quality export saves time and HD space.
    iMovie sends that ref.mov to iDVD when you press the "Create iDVD project" in iMovie's iDVD tab. BUT: DON'T let iMovie render still images if it prompts it: as a very old nasty bug, it will ruin your stills!!
    http://www.sjoki.uta.fi/~shmhav/iMovieHD_bugs.html#jaggystills
    ...how I wish Apple would finally fix that bug...
    You can also use that ref.mov as an input for 3rd party apps. MPEG Streamclip and JES Deinterlacer can "see" it inside the package but with some other apps you may need to copy it out of the package 1st.
    Notice also that some 3rd party apps (MPEG Streamclip and JES Deinterlacer do this correctly) may unexpectedly honor the deinterlaced playback setting of the ref.mov so you must uncheck that flag with QT Player before using it as in input. Otherwise the output will be deinterlaced.

    I want to know why some box of Iphone5s it's not come full accessories in box simple my iPhone 5s I have bought from Apple store last week it's first time for me use iPhone but so surprise me how the company make the phone have to use a pin to open the sim but didn't give a pin inside the box and I ask staff at store their said they also don't know some box have some of are don't have a pin come together so then they told me I have to find solution or I have to buy a pin by my self I can buy it by myself but I really don't understand how come apple big company but how it's happen like this?thank you.

    Where did you purchase this. The US phones do not come with the SIM removal tool anymore. They haven't for some time now. I'm not even sure it comes with any of the devices anymore. You can just straighten out a paper clip and do the same thing.

    My school wants to purchase three copies of one of my photo books. The school is tax exempt. How can we make a tax exempt purchase using a school credit card?

    I don't believe Apple is setup for tax exempt purchases.  It's strictly comsumer oriented.
    Are you making a profit on your book sale?  If so just up the price to cover the tax and you purchase it and deliver to the school. If not then reimburse the school for the tax and write it off as a deduction.

    my new iphone won't flip sideways, how do i make it so it will use the wide screen?

    Is rotation lock on?  If it is, you'll see most of a circle at the top of the screen with a lock in it.
    Double click the home button, swipe the bottom row left-to-right, look at the leftmost icon.  If there's a lock there, click it.  Then click the home button.

    I don't know about NTSC but there is a nice PAL solution for SD 16:9 for ordinary DVDs. The 16:9 image becomes 720x576 pixels. So the pixels are each quite wide, and the horizontal resolution is less than the vertical resolution, but at least no pixels are wasted as with letterbox.
    A semi-solution is to make a HD-DVD. That format has been abandoned but Apple software pretends otherwise. Apple Compressor does compressions at around 20 Megabits/second data rate specifically for HD-DVD, and Apple DVD Studio Pro makes HD-DVDs. For short projects, less than around 30 minutes, the HD-DVD can be made on a normal DVD. (I did this for a 40 minute project by cutting the bitrate somewhat.) The quality is almost equal to Blu-Ray, but who can play it? People with well equipped Apples can.

  • How do I get a better quality for my image?

    Hi,
    I have created a logo for a business online and I now need to use it for letter heads, business cards etc and when i copy it straight from the internet into a word document it looks very blurry and unproffesional. What can i do to make this better?
    Thanks
    Chloe

    Hi Chloe -
    Did you create the logo using Photoshop CS6? When you place an image on a website and then copy it staight from the website, you risk losing some of the quality of the original file. Outside of placing the logo directly into your word document using the original file, you can maximize the quality of the logo you're placing on your website by using the Save for Web function of Photoshop.
    You can access this function by going to File > Save for Web...
    This will allow you to adjust settings so that you can get an image with a small file size suitable for using on your website while still maintaining a high quality image.
    Here is a short tutorial from Lynda.com on using the Save for Web functions of Photoshop CS6:
    I believe that the blurriness that you are describing is an issue with Microsoft Word, which we probably won't be able to help you much with. However, if you have access to it, Adobe InDesign is an alternative to creating documents that intregrates better with high-quality graphics.
    Good luck!

  • How could I make Siri better?

    On the Siri official page, Apple states that Siri gets better by learning owners' accent.
    Here comes the question: how does Siri get better?
    I mean, once you used Siri and found the words are slighty off from what you actually said.
    Most people might just launch Siri again and re-spoke the sentence again until Siri finally got what they wanted.
    Is Siri able to learn the accent from this action?
    Siri sometimes got wrong on certain names especially they're ones Nickname and probably not even a complete word.
    Then Siri tried to make the whole senetence logical by changing the entire sentence which will result something completely off the original given command.
    Anyone knows how to make Siri better and more personalized?

    I'd suggest:
    1) don't have setNumeratorr and setDenominator methods. Make the numerator and denominator final fields in Rational. That is, make each Rational instance immutable.
    2) Give Rational a constructor that takes two longs. One is the numerator and the other is the denominator. The constructor removes common factors between the two and stores the values in their most reduced form.
    3) The add method can probably be cleaned up give (2).
    4) Don't name the argument to add "object". Of course it's an object. Call it "operand" or even just "other".

  • How can I make the data persistent when using plist ?

    I have a UITableView table1. And when I touch any cell in the table a new UIViewController appears and it have two UITextField's name and description. After entering the data in both the text fields I used the save button to save them. In save method I wrote the code for the data to be stored in plist.
    -(void)save:(id)sender
    indexOfDataArray = temp;
    NSString *string1 = [[NSString alloc]init];
    NSString *string2 = [[NSString alloc]init];
    string1 = nameField.text;
    string2 = descriptionField.text;
    NSDictionary *myDict = [[NSDictionary alloc] initWithObjectsAndKeys:string2, string1, nil];
    [myArray addObject:myDict];
    NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
    NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
    NSString *path = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"VideoData.plist"];
    [myArray writeToFile:path atomically:YES];
    UIAlertView *alertMesage = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle: @"Save Alert" message:@"The data entered is saved" delegate:nil cancelButtonTitle:@"cancel" otherButtonTitles:nil] ;
    [alertMesage show];
    [alertMesage release];
    [myArray retain];
    But the problem is every time I restart my application the data in the plist is deleted. How can I retain the data in the plist name I specified ?

    I think yes, I am specifying only one file name to store in the path. I understood my where I am wrong.
    If I added data in plist for two items(item1 and item2). And again I need to add next two items(item3 and item4) . How can I make item3 and item 4 do not replace item1 and item2 ?
    Thank You.
