Random HD Clips

A random collection of videos I've made over the past few days with my new high-def camcorder. It's partly to test YouTube's newish support for HD videos (and get me used to editing them), and part...

Really nice. No narrative is necessary to make something pretty.

just a tip rob, next time you upload a video in hd, leave the resolution at 1920x1080. it looks so so much better and crisper, because amazingly youtube's resizing thing seems to look really good. btw, how was abunai?

Well my ultimate goal in most of my footage is to make it into some sort of compilation in the future. So you think that the use of a "lossless codec" is best in this situation? And thanks alot, thorough explanations are very helpful haha.

Oh and also, what settings do you use? just curious. They seem to preserve the quality really well haha.

Unfortunately, it was quite a while ago that I made this video, and I no longer use TMPGEnc because of its terrible instability. I now use VirtualDub and AVISynth (both of which are freeware) to deinterlace, resize, crop (duration-wise) and compress videos.

However, it's the compression (codec) settings which really affect the quality. I use XviD, set to VBR (with "quantizer scale" set to around 2 to 4), "Motion search precision" at 6, "VHQ mode" at 2 or 3 and "use chroma motion" ticked.

There are other settings on XviD, such as "Quarter pixel" and "Trellis quantisation" which help too. Trial and error is the best way to see what each thing does. However, if you're editing your video, the key to keeping the quality is to never compress (lossily) your video until the very end. Use a lossless codec such as HuffYUV or Lagarith to avoid losing quality for temporary videos,or use VirtualDub's "frame server" to eliminate the need for temporary videos.
Sorry about the essay.

Thanks for explaining the deinterlacing process you used! I just bought a new camera and was annoyed at the difficulty(impossibility) i had editing footage with it. Ill try the method you explained now.
