File : 190 MB (190 MB), duration: 0:34:23, type: ASF, 1 audio stream(s), quality: 34 % Video : 175 MB, 712 Kbps, 12.79 fps, 640*480 (4:3), WMV3 = Windows Media Video 9, Not checked Audio : 16.21 MB, 65 Kbps, 44100 Hz, 2 channels, 0x161 = Windows Media Audio 9, Supported This is the original source file that I have. Is there any point in increasing the bitrate to a higher number? I beleive that this would just make larger file but not improve on the quality of this file.Infact other than applying sharpness filters or noise filters there is not much improvment to be had. Are there any experts that would give me a pointer for the best approch when converting these files to be stored on a DVD (using a DVD at this bitrate means I can store larger number of VCD quality mpegs?) but quality will not be improved over the original file. Right?
You can Not really improove the Video Quality of any Image you can only try to filter out undesireable aspects of the Image, but if you try to clean up the Image you will actually be lowering it"s Quality because you would need to re-render the File which greatly degrades the quality... You also can not compare the Bitrate used to create the WMV/ASF file to the Bitrates used to encode to Mpeg2/DVD, In reality if you wanted to make a Standard DVD out of this File you would have to encode it at about 10 times the bitrate that was used to create the File in the First Place and the Quality will still Be Much lower than it is Now ,so you can not compare Bitrates used to create files of different Formats....
