Activity Forums Compression Techniques Unusual Frame Size for MPEG 2

  • Unusual Frame Size for MPEG 2

    Posted by Dave Ornowski on January 12, 2007 at 5:08 pm

    A client is requesting an MPEG-2 of an animation he created with a frame size of 4448 x 768. I’ve tried to change the frame size of the template in Procoder, but it doesn’t seem to allow this. Is it even possible to create an mpeg 2 at this size, and if so, which compression tool should I use? Thanks!

    I am pretty sure ProCoder doesn’t support this resoltuion. You would need something like the MainConcept MPEG Encoder.

    You must use “Generic MPEG2” and then you can use any parametrs
    I’m not sure about this resolution, and….how you (or client) want to playback this video file?
    May be best choise will be downscale to HD format?

    Thanks for the suggestions. I tried Frippy’s suggestion, and set Procoder to generic, but it still won’t allow me to use anything but traditional frame sizes. Also downloaded a demo version of Main Concept’s encoder, but it doesn’t seem to allow changing the presets at all.

    MainConcept full definitely allows changing and customizing frame size, but I am not sure if this might be a limit in the demo. In any case, I did try to see what the max frame size the retail version can encode to and it appears to be only 1920×1080.

    Try to encode with DivX/XVidD or WMV…
    Or change resolution to 1920x____ and encode to HP@HP MPEG2 HD
