Hello all,
I'm evaluating these two products to use in removing commercials from
video transferred from my TiVo Series 2. I like TMPGEnc's editing
interface, and the fact that I can go to the exact moment when a scene
changes. However, I can never get the same video quality as VideoReDo.
To me, it seems TMPGEnc re-encodes the file when I'm done editing. I've
set the video output settings to match the source, and according to the
re-encode analyzer, only the frames where I cut the commercials are
affected. The output is still not as good as VideoReDo's result.
I would prefer to use TMPGEnc because of the interface, but if I can't
get the same quality as VideoReDo then there is no other choice for me.
Is there some setting in TMPGEnc that I can set so that it does not
make any change to anything, other than remove the commercials?
VideoReDo has an Output File Option when saving, and you can choose "No
Change" for the Bit Rate. I can't find a similar option in TMPGEnc, and
the only thing I can do is choose "Constant bitrate" for the video
output. According to the TMPGEnc help file, when CBR is chosen it uses
the same bitrate as the source. It doesn't LOOK like that to me though.
Any help or advise is appreciated. Thanks.
