Well, if size doesn't matter you can use '-K hi-res' :-) What I use for high quality encoding is a custom table made up of the hi-res Intra matrix with the tmpgenc nonIntra matrix and then -K file=myfile > I mean, when I encode an old VHS-movie with poor quality, could the > result be _better_ with kvcd or does kvcd save space only? kvcd's claims to fame are 1) smaller filesizes (lower bitrate) and 2) reduced splotchiness (pixelization I think is the term used) during dark scenes. The kvcd folks never made any claims about increased quality. For old VHS movies that have been run thru yuvdenoise and/or the medianfilter the use of kvcd tables won't really hurt the picture too much more. A good reason to use the kvcd tables in this situation would be to reduce the blocks/splotches during dark scenes. Experimentation is an important part of the process - try it and see what happens.
