I want to encode some stuff I've got. I want to know how...

I've only experimented a bit with capturing, and haven't managed to get the results to come out as nice as I'd like, so I'm looking to get info as to what screen resolutions, filters and the like are used to get the kind of results seen in Tiny Snow Fairy Sugar and the like...

I don't have much experience with capturing myself either, but I guess it largely depends on what capturing card you have, and the quality of the source. When I did some captures with an old TV card using Virtualdub, with some video noise removal filter produced 'decent' results, but still nothing close to the quality of what most fansub groups release. Damned if I knew what they use to capture from TV with that high quality ^^;

Of course, those Tiny Snow Fairy Sugar DVD rips by HnK are quite a different thing though, a 'wee' bit easier to get results like that. ^_^

Ohwell, I'm probably not of too much help here, but heeey, my first post here! Yatta! :D

Take the advice on doom9, read all that stuff, then search google for "lukes video guide" and read that stuff. Only once you've got a grasp of the basics is it really worth asking for help- otherwise the scope is just too broad.

Okay, I'm not major ripper as everyone will know, but I try to follow things. Essentially Doom9 is okay for the basics, after that try http://svcdguide.animeaddiction.net/ if you plan on anime rips.

Essentially though the final settings are your own and it varies very much depending if you want VCD/SVCD/DviX etc. The best advice is to play around until you find something you like. From experience with some of the more intensive codecs (e.g. divx4) try playing it on a weak processor (Vaz, stop complaining Razz

), or else on a small resolution monitor (you too Snoopy Razz

)

Doh! That as me!

Doom9 and the svcdguide one both seem to be entirely about DVD-ripping, not video capture, but as i'll likely be doing that at some point too, still handy sites to have on record...

haven't been able to get into luke's video guide yet - apparently a very busy site, as every time i've tried to look at it, i've gotten geocity's "this site has exceeded its allocated data transfer" message. this fills me with optimism. or dread, not sure which.

lukes video guide is wholly concentrated on capturing cartoons. (He does powerpuff girls, but its largely applicable).

Just checked and:
A. I didn't have any problems.
B. He has a downloadable guide.

SOOOOoooo....
