KVCD: Mpeg-1 x Mpeg-2 in CD media?
 

I've been reading some posts over this and other forums and i read something about mpeg1 being more realiable and producing better quality than mpeg2. is it true?

With TMPGEnc, yes, it's true.

but what about comparing the mpeg 2 produced with cce with the mpeg1 produced with tmpgenc.
which one is better?

If you use an average Bitrate under 2000kbps then TMPGEnc's MPEG-1 is better then CCE. Above this you should choose CCE's MPEG-2.

i even do my mpeg-2 with Tmpgenc with min/max bitrate at 300-2500 and the quality is damn fine.

As said, TMPEG's MPEG-1 is the best MPEG-1 encoder.
And yes, at low bitrates, it is better than CCE's MPEG-2.

As I had to repeat in the italian forum the compression on a low bitrate in MPEG1 is better than the same in MPEG2. This is principally do to the algorithm of compression in the MPEG2. It is made keeping in mind the large support like dvd, so a high bitrate.
MPEG1 was born for a low bitrate.
Annyhow just test it to prove it!!!

tks, i'll do my tests now ;)

yea but I have found that if it is a darker movie that mpeg1 is pretty pis spoor conpared to mpeg2 in dark scenes.Just saying my opinion or i dunno :P

Another reason to always use the notch matrix ;)
