Just wondering if folks might point me to something - I will share my
knowledge when able, but right now am a dreaded newbie. Here is areply
to another with same question -

sorry for taking an eternity to respond - but like I stated i am learning
how to maximize my P3 because i believe that i will not need a P4 until I
reach the limits of this machine.
i am using freeware tools, and I did not know about several very nice
tools - MPEG2CUT, VFAPI, ASISYNTH, which when combind with VIRTUAL DUB,
creates a tool box beyond belief. I've cut down on the amount of need of
total recodes, but still my tools do not on the fly support direct MPA
and/or LPCM - so using dbPoweramp which is freeware, it takes about 1 and
1/2 minutes to convert to wave a file that is 90 minutes or solong.
I appreciate your reply and I mean it - but I could not reply immediately
as I was trial and erroring at the time and had no good response.
Currently my question about video is this:
I find my P3 is not powerful to encode the way WinDVR sts me up, but I
find if I set the machine so every picture is an I frame, my machine can
handle it like perfect. But when I try to then bring the file down to
AVI it is expecting B and P frames and does a lousy job of transcoding.
According to the "Unofficial Faqs' WinDVR at 640x240 encodes every other
line and from a visual point of view on my computer and television, I
find the picture extremely sharp, encoding at 9000 with no problems on my
P3.
Xvid instead of DivX can handle this setup but is real slow. Mpeg4-v3
works overall best. But I guess I really need to get away from my own
thoughts as to how many angels I can place ona head of a pin, as I am so
used to squezing space and I no longer need it as I have unlimited space
through my VCR and Cd-RW.
Anyway as I might have given away - with space galore - i can be hoggish
and not learn anything. But in transporting the files to share, I need
to shrink them down so they be viewed.
these words will be in a new question - getting back to the question: Do
many folks or even a few use a VCR as a storage medium, which to me is
perfect after editing as 6 hours is available on a tape real cheap?
