Doodle Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 I have a WMV file that I edited using VideoWave. The bit rate is 8000. I would like to export the edited video as the same. There are so many settings to choose from. How can I export as WMV and 8000 bit rate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim_Hardin Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 Video Copy and Convert is an easy one to use. Expand the Options and set what you want (sorry, the Compression can be set to WMV and not just MPEG2 as I have here) Otherwise, VW uses a Variable Bit Rate (VBR) for WMM files and all you can do is select the one that is the closest match to the Resolution you want to output.

Doodle Posted November 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 Thanks Jim, I'm using VideoWave because it's easier to chain WMV files and edit the commercials compared to VCC. Do you know what choices in VW will give me WMV file format? Thanks for all your help on the Roxio forums. You've been a great helpful resource for everyone.

Try both 4.3 and 16.9 to see if there are differences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doodle Posted November 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 Can others that use Roxio NXT VW no longer have template called "Same as Orginal?" I can only find that template on my Roxio 2010 version. Can others confirm this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doodle Posted November 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 See the picture above. What compression is WMV? There are many to choose from. What settings should I change to get the best close to 8000 bit rate? How about the audio settings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdanteek Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 Try output export as in videowave choose a good to best WMV quality. Now run it through VCC and choose your 8000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doodle Posted November 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 Dont bother making my own template? I did a test using your advice: I used "Windows Media 8 Video High Qualitybased VBR for Broadband" The result of the file: Width: 320 Height: 240 Data rate: 447 kbps Total bitrate: 511 kbps Frame rate: 30 frames/second Audio: Bit rate: 611 kbps Channels: 2 (stereo) Audio sample rate: 44 kHz I then used VCC: Width: 320 Height: 240 Data rate: 8000 kbps Total bitrate: 8128 kbps Frame rate: 29 frames/second Audio: Bit rate: 128 kbps Channels: 2 (stereo) Audio sample rate: 44 kHz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doodle Posted November 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 My original file is 8000 kbps. I then use VW to go to 447 kbps. I then used VCC to go to 8000. What about the quality? Did it change? Also, I'm doing more then 1,000 files. The two step process is it really necessary? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cdanteek Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 I don't have "Same As Original." How did you get that? 16.9, all, same as original. I'm booted into a image that has C2011 Pro installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doodle Posted November 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 I have the 2010 and NXT version of Roxio. I also have images that I can boot into using Norton Ghost or Acronis. I think my video is 4:3. I will check the 16:9 settings on NXT version when my video is finished encoding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doodle Posted November 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 Using 4:3 or 16:9 didn't give me "Same as Orginal." You will NOT see the choice "Same as Orginal" if your orginal file format is WMV. You WILL see the option "Same as Original" if your orginal file format is MPG.

What is the Resolution (ie 720 X 480) and bit rate of your source? (can't make it better than the source ) As a last resort, you may have to do your edits and combining in VW then Export in any format that supports your Resolution & Bitrate, then use VCC for the final conversion...

Doodle Posted November 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 My original file is a .MPEG: Width: 352 Height: 480 Data rate: 9200 kbps Total bitrate: 9456 kbps Frame rate: 29 frames/second Audio: Bit rate: 256 kbps Channels: 2 (stereo) Audio sample rate: 48 kHz As you know I can't remove the commercials using Roxio NXT with VCC or VW. So, what I did is use VCC to make a WMV at 8000 bit rate and since I wanted the file size smaller I chose 320x240. When the file is WMV I can now edit commercials easily using VW.

Doodle Posted November 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 Are there compressions that are uniquely WMV format? See the choices here in Roxio NXT VW: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim_Hardin Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 I think VW is better for edits like you describe, however you use "Trim" in VCC and you can make multiple "cuts" there as well Your source is a bit of an odd ball size with a much higher bit rate than the resolution can support ~ well obviously it can but the resolution hardly requires a bit rate that high I convert things for a Cruz Tablet and merely use 640 X 480 @ 4000 kbps. For that screen size & resolution it works great. Also works out fine for my iPad 2. If you haven't tried any at lower bit rates, make up the same short sample (go with details and motion to see) and try several different settings to see what works for you...

bimicher Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 The original file format is from TIVO. I want to watch these files on my 42 inch screen TV. I have a feeling that "blowing" up a 352x480) video (strange resolution) to watch ona 42" screen will give poor quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doodle Posted November 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 Using "Windows Media 8 Video High Qualitybased VBR for Broadband" template in VW gave a inferior quality compared to my original. TIVO uses that strange size of 352 x 480. It actually looks fine on the 42 inch. The problem is I need to remove commercials. With the TIVO format it's not possible. Also getting the file size smaller is an issue. I have three 2TB hard drives and they are getting full of videos from TIVO. I don't think I should go above 352x480. Any other VW template I should try? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
