Ep 12 and mini 1 and 2

Howdy all, sorry it's been so long since I posted, but I've been busy. Let's get into the AVS tip from episode 12.
Now what we coverd was temporalsoften, and what the standard numbers for this command looklike are this:

TemporalSoften(4,4,8,15,2)

or, if your using the video= command in front of your command lines, you'll use this as a standard code:

Video=TemporalSoften(video,4,4,8,15,2)

Now this set of numbers will give you a basic blur to your encode, which isn't too heavy on the blur/soften scale, but will help rid some small pixelation. You can raise the values to adjust for more softening or bluring effect to help out in a lower bitrate encode. This may a bit too techy, but a more desriptive explination of what all the number effect is this:

TemporalSoften(clip clip, int radius, int luma_threshold, int chroma_threshold [, int scenechange] [, int mode])

The clip clip, represent the video command you would stick in if your using the Video= parameter.

Now for our next full ep (13) we will be showing you how to use AVS in an actual encode. Were going to be covering a KVCD encode, which is a vcd (mpeg-1) video encode. KVCD is a good encode process to know beacuse most standalone dvd players will play vcd video when it doesnt play ripped or re-encoded dvd's or svcd's. The bonus to KVCD is that you can fit an entire movie on one regular 700mb cd, without any real quality loss, when done correctly.
For this encode were going to use a program called HCEncoder v0.17, and you can find it on doom9 at this link
Keep an eye on this blog entry just in case we think of anything else you might need.

Now, hopefully you all liked the last two mini ep's, and hopefully we can work out a schedule where we'll have all three of us and not just me, cause although I know im just super sexy an all, bryan and kyp help make me even even more deisreable, (yeah right). Ok, that's all for now, and dont forget that it's a new month so go here--> and vote for us.
