I have wondered this question myself and I’m not rendering to BD. Hmmm… I don’t think DuLt’s question is out of line. And it’s the kind of work that has to have perfect quality, because a judge may come out of the blue, stop the video, an ask about the techniques used or question the quality, or lack of it. I know we don’t need a ultra high bitrate to get decent video quality, but the current video works I’m doing are for my master’s degree in multimedia art. I’m curious at why the bitrate limit is so low. It’s not just about quality, I’m trying to find my own workarounds that cap. Moral of the story is that more is not always better, nor optimum, particularly when delivery methods are taken into account. Turns out that visually, the bottom end of that 10:1 test range was not noticeably different, so most of the end product was encoded at 500- or 750kbps, depending on subject matter (which also can affect choice of bitrate). Starting at 5Mbps, I stepped the value down to less than 500Kbps. For example in a project I’m winding up now, I did a number of bitrate comparison tests to determine an optimum value for my client’s uses. But in many cases, those artifacts are below perceptual levels even at much lower bitrates. Yes, high bitrates reduce visual artifacts. I know, it’s a little absurd, but using a bitrate value as a quality benchmark isn’t really the best practice. According to MediaInfo, my intermediates run at about 544Mbps 4:3, 1024x768, with a little over a minute of animation ~= 4Gb. Even that was a jaw-dropping visual quality experience.ĭuLt: If you really don’t want a cap on bitrate, simply write to raw AVI. Now, the highest bitrate I encountered was ~18mbps. I’ve rented a number BD disks over the last two years and I routinely check the bitrate.

Note that the max bitrate for BD is ~25mbps.

#Avidemux bitrate too low software
I’d highly recommend using BD authoring software if you’re on windoze, both for h.264 encoding and for creating menus (and all that jazz). VirtualDub might help if you’re on windoze. I use ffmpeg for high bitrate encoding but Avidemux and Handbrake can also do a great job. Using some other dedicated app is really the way to go. Believe me, by allowing this Bleder is really doing you a favor because there are more than two dozen options involved. Until then I encode manually.įor the rest you can render out lossless and encode using other apps. I for one would love to see webm added to the presets. Maybe in the future more presets will be made available. The only preset that works out of the box with Blender encoding options is DVD. What exactly is your problem? Three suggestions were posted and they all work without problems. Uh…sorry but yes this does sound like bitching without a reason. If you need more info please post a more specific question and/or problem. So I can now easily make high quality SD DVDs. I’ve really become too sloppy to take it since I’ve discovered that DVDStyler can take intermediate (i.e HuffyUV) videos as input, encode up to 10mbps and spit out the complete DVD file structure. This is the highly recommended route which is slower but more reliable. render out to lossless image sequences (say pngs) and use an external app to encode to a delivery codec and mux video and audio. This is the route I usually take and have had no problems with it so far. You can then use some external app (say FFmpeg, Avidemux etc) to encode the original HuffyUV video to a delivery codec of your choice, setting the bitrate to whatever you like. In this case, rendering will usually be lightning fast (as it’s not heavily compressed). render out to a lossless codec such as HuffyUV. If you feel that rendering is limiting whatever you want to produce there are two main solutions:
#Avidemux bitrate too low full
SD footage at 30mbps? Sure, if it is uncompressed or something.Įven the max bitrate for Blue Ray is 25 mbps and that at a full HD resolution which is 6 times more than the SD resolution.ītw, my 550D records at 43 mbps but that’s 25 fps at full HD. For example, SD DVD video is typically at about 5 mbps (and can go up to 10mbps). I’m not sure if you realize just how high a bitrate that is. the max bitrate that can be set is ~14mbps but this is the delivery codec we’re talking about here.
