-====== Encoding animation with Xvid ====== 
  
-This is a guide to configuring the options in the [[http://​en.wikipedia.org/​wiki/​Xvid|Xvid]] (version 1.xx) codec for encoding. Specifically these settings are optimized for encoding animation, such as [[http://​en.wikipedia.org/​wiki/​Cartoon_animation|cartoons]] and [[http://​en.wikipedia.org/​wiki/​Anime|anime]]. 
- 
-These encoding options should be available in any operating system where the Xvid encoder is installed. 
- 
-The **bold** options are the specific changes that are recommended. The //italics// are the comments on the options. 
- 
-**MAIN:** 
-  * Encoding Type: **Two Pass** 
-  * Target size (MBytes): **???** //(Whatever size of video you want)// 
-  * Quantizer: ?.? //(Useful only for single pass quantizer based)// 
-    * [ ] Interlaced //(Only useful if you need to Deinterlace - generally do not use; filters are better for deinterlacing)//​ 
-    * [ ] Cartoon mode //(Only for very flat color cartoons, generally do NOT use)// 
-    * [**X**] Turbo Mode //​(Increases Speed in 2nd pass 2pass mode)// 
-    * [ ] Greyscale 
-    * [**X**] Chroma Optimizer ​ 
-    * [ ] Packed bitstream ​ 
- 
-**MOTION ESTIMATION:​** 
-  * Motion Search Precision: **"6 - Ultra High"​** 
-  * VHQ Mode: **"4 - Wide search"​** 
-    * [**X**] Chroma Motion 
-    * [**X**] 4MV  
-    * [**X**] HQ AC 
-    * I-frame interval - Min: **1**  Max: **300** ​ 
-    * **CONFIGURATION NOTE**(nbsp)(ndash) Numbers for framerate 
-      * [[general:​Glossary#​NTSC|NTSC]] (American|&​ Japanese) = 300 
-      * [[general:​Glossary#​PAL|PAL]] (European) or FILM (some DVDs) = 240 
-      * [[general:​Glossary#​HDTV|HDTV]] = 1200 
-    * Advanced Simple Profile 
-      * Numberof B-frames: **3** //(Use three as the number minimum, greatly improves video quality)// 
-      * [ ] Qpel //(Stands for quarter pixel)// 
-      * [**X**] GMC //(If you plan to only playback on PC use it, if you want to be compatible with standalone dvd player don'​t)//​ 
-      * [**X**] BVHQ //(Produces nicer looking B-frames)// 
- 
-**QUANTIZATION:​** 
-  * [**X**] H.263 //(Better for cartoons & anime)// 
-  * [ ] MPEG //​(Generally better for live action)// 
-  * [**X**] Trellis quantization 
-  * Quanitization restrictions 
-    * I-frame quantizer Min : **2** //(or at 1 for full CD, requires experimentation)//​ 
-    * I-frame quantizer Max : **31** 
-    * P-frame quantizer Min : **2** //(or at 1 for full CD, requires experimentation)//​ 
-    * P-frame quantizer Max : **31** 
-    * B-frame quantizer Min : **2** //(or at 1 for full CD, requires experimentation)//​ 
-    * B-frame quantizer Max : **31** 
- 
-**SECOND PASS:** 
-  * Two pass tuning 
-    * I-frame Boost (%): **10** 
-    * I-frame closer than... (frames): **1** 
-    * ... are reduced by (%): **20** 
-    * Max overflow improvement (%): **5** **(default)** 
-    * Max overflow degradation (%): **5** **(default)** 
-  * Curve compression 
-    * High bitrate scenes (%): 0 
-    * Low bitrate scenes improvement (%): 0 
-    * Overflow control strength (%): 5  //(20 is good for full movies(nbsp)(ndash) requires more testing)//
