Fucking Weeaboo
I recently got a new video capture device, allowing me to capture runs in HDMI, the AverMedia C027. I'm looking over capabilities for it to record in 720p (it does 1080i, but not 1080p). Looking at recording choices, for HDMI I can either record in MPEG-2, AVI (which doesn't seem to want to work for me, as it throws me a "resolution change" error and stops recording), and MP4 (H.264) (well, it does record into iPod format too, but I think I can safely skip that). So I'm debating on what format I want to record in.
Both allow a recording size of 1920x1080.
MPEG-2 allows a higher video quality. Right now I have a 30000 quality, where the H.264 caps at 15000. Audio Sample Rate is 48000 for both, but the Bitrate for MPEG-2 allows for 384 (I'm currently set at 320) vs a cap of 192 for H.264.
So what would be better for the site, and what is going to work with anri-chan for encoding? Also, what is an easier format to edit should I want to make sample clips for myself?
(Final size after recording doesn't matter - I have plenty of HD space. But a MP4 encode of about 1m31s came out to about 70MB while a 3m31s MPG file came out to about 254MB.)
At this point I'm only using it for HDMI recording. While it is capable of recording component/composite/s-video, there's too much stutter on the display (probably due to being forced to take out the video card due to a lack of PCI-e slots and using onboard instead), and recording in s-video is just easier for me to do on my dvd recorder instead. If I ever get a component splitter (I am using an HDMI splitter so I can play on my HDTV w/o lag), I may use it for that too, but not at the moment.
Edit: Looks like MPEG-2 is probably my better choice, since anri-chan handles it just like my DVD VOBs.
