This guide will teach you how to render a in the new .mp4 fileformat with great video and audio quality using the x264 codec, please keep in mind that this will require a lot of discspace.
This is what you need for it:
* VLC Media Player -
www.videolan.org* The Huffyuv Codec -
http://neuron2.net/www.math.berkeley.edu/b...ffyuv-2.1.1.zip* The x264 Codec - Bottom of the post...
* Avi Synth -
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=57023I recommend recording in either 1280x720 or 800x600 to make it as easy as possible to follow this.
Step 1:[/b]
Make a new folder called for example x264, put this on your fastest drive so it goes as fast as possible... in my case my the C:/ drive so the address to the folder will be "C:\x264"
Put the files that was in the x264 archive in this folder.
Step 2:[/b]
Next open your Video Editing program, in my case Vegas and render your movie.
Make sure that the dimensions of your project is in 800x600 or 1280x720.
You have to render the audio and the video seperately in .wav and .avi format.
So start off by rendering the "
.wav" file which should be easy, use the
44 100 Hz; 16 Bit; Stereo; PCM preset.
Now we have to render the video, choose "
.avi/" as the filetype and press "
Custom".
Select "
Video" in the 3 options you should have below the settings.
Choose "
Huffyuv" where it says "
Video Format" and press
ok and then "
Save".
Step 3:[/b]
Now we're done with the Vegas part and we will start working on the x264 encoding.
Right click on the file called "makemp4.bat" and open it in notepad or another text editor.
Change "
mymovie=mymovie" to:
mymovie=THE_NAME_OF_YOUR_MOVIE.
Change "
mypath=mypath" to:
mypath=C:\x264 or the path you extracted the x264 codec and your moviefiles in.
Change "
myabitrate=192" to:
myabitrate=128 since 128kbps for your audio is enough.
Change "
myvbitrate=3250" to your desired video bitrate, 2500 is good enough for me.
You're now ready to press "
Crtl+S" to save the changes you made in the file and close your text editor and start the encoding by double clicking on the "
makemp4.bat" file.
You need the most recent version VLC Media Player in order to be able to play the file so remember to include it in a archive when you upload your movie.
