getting the best quality video exports?

Post by Southcross »

I have a couple of videos I need to export for our local law enforcement... I've tried tweaking a few things (Bitrate, FPS, different file types) and I still get a lot of JPEG artifacts in the export. File size/bandwidth isn't an issue

The following FFMPEG_OUTPUT_OPTIONS works for me:
-r 23.976 -qscale 1
It generates an mpeg 1 file, and the quality is pretty good.
If I need a different format, I just transcode it with avidemux.
Rather inefficient, but I seldom need to export myself.

There are other posts in this forum that discuss what settings worked well for others.
