Kvcd: Motion search position options?
 

Hey Kwag I was wondering, when you encode your movies using kvcd templates what option do you use for motion search position. Is high quality (slow) worth it, or do you think high quality (very slow) is really worth it, i want quality I don't care how long the encoding takes, thanks! Is there a noticable difference!

Use "High quality". Don't use "Highest quality". It's a waste of time, and you won't see any visual quality gain.

It actually produces a bigger filesize than "High Quality" :wink:

What's the difference between "normal" and "motion search estimate"? I can't spare the time to use the High Quality mode.

You'll get faster encoding speed with "motion search estimate", but the file size will be much larger and you get less quality ( using a same CQ value as "normal" for reference ).

So, normal would be better than motion search estimate?
