MPEG2 vs H.264

[cooro10]

wow in college i didnt understand a single bit. But this Video really sums it up well.

[marcusBX]

Japan makes some trippy videos..

[grogmaninteractive]

This video is amazing! That's the right way to teach something!

[ReloadPsi]

I keep hearing the Demon Headmaster in my head barking "Do you deny that I am extraordinarily efficient?"

[Zandarck]

This is so clear and informative! Thanks a lot for this =)

[xXiZRdx]

This is a video for a presentation

[racenuke]

Am I on drugs or something? I'm so lost lol

[Elit3KD2]

I didnt understand any of that...

but the music was cool!

[victor1139]

Where can I get a copy of that .pdf? the link is down and I would really like to use this information for a homework I'm doing about h264

[cheesuwen]

@victor1139 Old link down, updated. Thanks for the view.

[victor1139]

@cheesuwen thank you very much! :)

I keep seeing the word "efficiency" in the video. Is that something like taking 11 minutes to explain something that 2 minutes would suffice? I guess not. You managed to give 30 examples without really saying anything. When making this video, why not ask, "is it practical" "is it helpful" "is it a waste of your time" "does it lose the viewer's attention after a while" That person probably had no common sense. Thus a crappy life sucking video was born.

[cheesuwen]

@lureyourkidsinvan Totally agree!!! Tell that to Panasonic, I didn't make this, Panasonic did. I just repost, haha...

So I guess I sum your statement, don't buy Panasonic, buy Canon, buy Sony. Oppsss... I am outdated, Canon and Sony also heads to H.264 base...

[nousernameremain]

H.264 or x264 seems to be a very good codec. However, I realized that there is a pretty noticeable loss of color, or maybe of contrast... :S

[homebrewelectronics]

You know what...you lost my attention at 3:20! A simple explanation can be done in text format than how you wasted over 10 minutes of crap that I never even bothered to watch! Mpeg2 requires more space than mpeg 4. Mpeg 4 SUCKS! Why is that, because it produces noise in the picture quality. The noise being little black fucking lines shoot across the image. Mpeg 2 Is BEST! Why is that, it produces vivid images and much higher quality that is worth appreciating! As a professional, I will use DVD.

[cheesuwen]

@homebrewelectronics - Sorry man I wasted your time! This was uploaded quite sometime ago and was for showing some friends in discussion about formats. And of course, the new AVCHD (new then). Yes, DVD is still a good format for SD. If your clients expectation is only SD, then that's it, DVD it is!

[YoungBucksFather]

WHAT IS BETTER ? H.264 or MPEG2 ??????????????

[marcusBX]

@YoungBucksFather H.264

[towersecuritycameras]

Amazing graphics....What graphics program did you use to do this video?

[cheesuwen]

@towersecuritycameras - I did not do this, it is from the DVD that came with the Panasonic Cameras.

[camboy1132]

mpeg 2 seems to be a faster project.720X480 seems to be a descent picture quality and 59 minutes. moving the scale to bigger to smaller size & playing on a Flat TV you can see the fat blocks in the picture quality.700mb is terrible and you get fuzzing picture with big blocks if you take some of the picture quality away. putting the scale at about 2gb should be descent. but if you put the scale at the finest it will use more GB & more space.H264 take 5 hours to converts from dvd time is valuable

[cheesuwen]

@camboy1132 - Totally agree, H.264 is highly compressed and hence a slower workflow. Nonetheless, technology is improving so fast and at present, any i series chip can work the flow pretty fast and smoothly. In no time, it should not be any problem.

[juanjose38]

Excelent video perfect to explain

[cheesuwen]

Thank you.

[Bloodbane424]

This video really explains how both codecs work very well, thanks for uploading it.

[cheesuwen]

Your are utmost welcome...

[Bloodbane424]

@cheesuwen "Your are" lol :P

[cheesuwen]

Sorry, "You are utmost welcome.".

[Bloodbane424]

@cheesuwen You don't need two periods. Just one inside of the quoted text. :)

[jmoyet]

so im guessing this video was upload as H.264?

[cheesuwen]

Yup, I rendered this video using the AVCHD/H.264 compression format. I used a lowered average bit rate and maximum bit rate for the variable bit rate to keep the file less than 1G for YouTube purposes.

[jmoyet]

I'll use those settings from now on.

[cheesuwen]

I saw your video comparing the 2 compression formats. It is a great example to show. Although not much can be seen through YouTube, it can be seen. Great stuff!!!

[jmoyet]

Thanks.

But for some weird reason I keep getting a red flash when using the video from my JVC camera on Adobe Premier CS3. so for a few videos i had to use divx then started using mpg for the HD videos since i couldnt use h.264 from Adobe with out getting a red flash in the video

[cheesuwen]

Yes, I saw those red flashes too. Did you alter the frame rate or change the resolution in final production?

[jmoyet]

not on those videos.. just did some hd tests by resizing the video to hd size and the flash went away...

computers can be weird sometimes...

[cheesuwen]

icic...

[playman350]

I want to recompress a video in H.264 using Vegas Pro 9 after editing. Original is a MPEG-2

[timm2020]

Great Video, got good information from it.

I did not know that much about the two.

Thanks

[cheesuwen]

No problem
