okay so now ur gonna
do your part where were gonna converts
the
ice age to you me moving
into I'm xvide
and in a format that will maintain the
DC-three audio so we're not going to
convert the on you
to mp3 we're going to maintain a dozen
has
ac3 for optimal audio quality so how do
you do that
as you can see I've got ice age here so
first thing we're going to do is far up
FSM bade X which is the application
for use in this case story on fire it up
handbag and the application when it's
thirds
yeah at work try for free and
first thing to do is to drag
the application into the open
field so now we have a cheap told
to open up this application and as you
can see it found it
and an encoder as been my default picked
for selection
first thing you're going to want to do
is to change this
to be and exhibited coming corder format
guess dats the best option to create an
exhibit file
as an AVI that will be readable by both
Windows and Mac
the next thing we're going to do
is we're gonna go under filters and
we're gonna figure out what is the video
format and what cropping
needs to be applied to it sought to do
that you will click on the
or a crop tab and this will far up
playback the movie as you can see here
and
this will L if S&P
X to figure out what cropping values are
required for
be here I'm actually going forward
and the movie tech she look at multiple
feels
and to make sure that the values for
cross
are properly adjusted so when you're
happy with that
Kent Bush the press the Escape key that
will bring you back
into test FM big X and as you can see
here
crop values have been found to be for 8
0
to and now
that being done you can clicked on the
video tab
and go and change some options there
first thing that you will notice is that
the film was
detected to be NTSC feel which
essentially means 23.976 frames per
second
and that the size of the movie was 2.35
to one ratio
standard an film size
and the sold in video size or desired
output size was figure 2b 640
by 272 pixels you may want to change
this if you want
for example if you wanted to maintain or
the original size
love 720 pixels wide
you could change that value to 720
press the Tab key that moves it to
I'm the next feel as you've noticed the
value
for height hasn't changed so to make it
adjust automagically which we need to do
is
three select 2.35 21 and now based on
the aspect ratio
and the desired height is 304
pixels so now at we're done with this
remember when you actually extracted
your DVD
you also I knew where shown that the
link to the movie was actually one hour
and 30 minutes
so in our case we're gonna have to
adjust that because some time
mplayer slashing quarter I have problems
reading the
the length of time of the movie so we
have to manually input it so
30 minutes plus when hours 19 minutes
so we're gonna tell the excess embed
X that the length of the movie is ninety
minutes and we're gonna ask
what is the proper video bitrate: that
we should set for discussion at the
a resolution so in our case well click
what is the best video rate
and it tells us it's a.m. 1,178 kilobits
per second
now for good measure ray always through
an extra 200 kilobits
per second in the mix so going around
the serb and to 1400
kilobits per second for video next up
is going into the audio section where
were gonna pic that we want to pass
through the origin of audio
so we're gonna pass through the audio
and therefore we're not gonna do are
any arguing calling and that's about it
and this section you could also change
the audio track
so from zero which is the default value
to maybe one or two depending on the
audio track that would contain
the language you want to follow for
example if you wanted to do
encoding of the French track you would
just select one
because it happens to me to French
channel filters
to go back to him again is where you
could apply some
the interlacing no easing the ringing
and the blocking option
but since that's a pretty clean movie I
we're not getting do
any of that next up the options that
this is where your
gonna break make-or-break the in code
quality of your movie
so general rule
is for exhibit you will actually pick
high-quality
use be frame to passing coding
and tree quantize Asian
this will ensure that you get the high
quality movie
and it's going down into past the first
pass to figure out
how many bits needs to be allocated to
each frame
I over duration: the movie to actually
meet the target
1500 bits per second for
the next thing you want to make sure is
that fewer few min to max
are cue few min if to and Q max
are 30 this way you ensure
a wide range hav potential quantity per
frame that can be used
by access and pay or by an encoder when
it will actually
tree the movie so with that done
there is that the one thing that's left
to be done is to click the PIN code
by Don here and let second big
do its magic and create the movie
so as you can see it started the
creation process
and if you go b-side the window where we
used only see one thing which was
ice age now you're gonna see a siege to
tactile that
EDI and the log file the first
phase I love the encoding which is the
first bass carving calling the file
and that file will be used to read the
mouth bits
that these two be allocated to each
frame for the second password
including will take place and as you can
see it slowly progressing
Indian callings one person's been done
the first phase
you can also get some more details about
the encoding
and what's happening buying clicking on
the law bill
I in this section and you're gonna get
display of what's what has been done
when inning colder started see see
in Corning started on this they and in
colour versions CPU with nasa details
about the source file itself
hope this helps you make good quality
exhibited
copies have your legitimate DVD
that you all
