i am posting the first in the series of shuvo’s wedding videos. this is the first part of Ashirbad.

the picture quality seems pretty good, compared to the earlier vids. however, there are black sidings. instead of the standard 352, i think i’ll use 384 on the next encoding. unfortunately i’ve already started encoding the 1st one of Shuvo’s series. for the incredible amount of time it takes to do it on my laptop, i think i’ll let the next one be as it is. switch over onto 384 from the next and see how it goes.

another option is to encode in the exact resolution of google’s default size, since thats where i’m hosting. that in itself might cut down on some of the dithering from resize. we’ll see.

home video shot in our apartment and outside. I’m experimenting with different codecs and sizes when encoding from the raw dv. this one is encoded in 352×288 with mpeg-4. the earlier ones were done in 512×384 while the codecs varied between xvid and mpeg-4. let’s see how this one turns out.  I’ll be posting the series on Shuvo’s wedding shots next.

the final part of the series, part VIII.
