PC Spec for encoding + Canopus Procoder
 

Hi,

Any advice for a PC spec /OS for encoding.
I’ve got someMpeg 2 files I recorded many years ago and would like to convert them to H264
I have a copy of Canopus ProCoder 3 ?

Any advice would be welcome?

Thanks ( UK based)

Use Hybrid for H.264 encoding.

Procoder is too old, inferior in every way. MainConcept is better for MPEG.

Canopus pro coder 3 wow, brings back bad memories, I ruined many tapes especially NTSC (blacks too blacks, same for whites). But i guess my incompetence is to blame aswell, i was a rookie.

I much prefer mainconcept reference v2 (now defunct), with fantastic grain retention / motion search imo.

Then you got free alternatives like HC Encoder (uses avisynth scripts)

Sorry for the ignorance, but is Mainconcept obtainable today?

By non straight roads means it may be :wink2:
