AVI to WMV??

Postby angrypanda » 17 Feb 2007 13:39

Hi,

Using some info in a thread I found here I tried to convert (?transcode) an AVI video to WMV format. The results are pretty disappointing. Can you help?

The command I use is:
"C:\VLC\vlc.exe" -vvv %1.avi --sout-ffmpeg-qscale 1 :sout=#transcode{vcodec=WMV3,scale=1,acodec=wma,ab=96,channels=2,samplerate=44100}:duplicate{dst=std{access=file,mux=asf,dst=%1.wmv}}

The original AVI looks great, but the resulting WMV has loads of JPEG compression errors and looks rubbish. I understand that going from one lossy format
to another is only going to make things worse, but not by this much surely?

The other command I have tried is:
"C:\VLC\vlc.exe" -vvv %1 --stop-time=30 :sout=#transcode{vcodec=WMV3,vb=2048,width=512,height=384,scale=1,acodec=wma,ab=96,channels=2,samplerate=44100,audio-sync}:duplicate{dst=std{access=file,mux=asf,dst=%1.wmv}}

But the result is still pretty cr@p :?

Any help much appreciated.

Best wishes,

Jon.
