:stupid:Im having issues to perfom smart encoding file-splitting in various 'fan-applications', since the comersial splitters seems to use trued split instead I use AVIdemux and various relatives to Virtualdub for AVI, my problem gets the same on both, the output loose in video quality for some reason, alot worse b/px quality and bitrate, it works thou, but unacceptable :) in VD i use direct stream copy on everything, and just slide-mark the places and save it out In AVIdemux i just input, slide-mark and save as, and say yes to every prompts it suggest (its accually enough to just say yes to smart encoding for it to get worse quality output i have concluded) what am i doing wrong thath makes 2 programs to lower the quality? i have talked to some people and it should not lower it, its harder to get a solution from them thou, so do you have any instead? or do you perhaps have any other programs thath you know splitt smart without lowering Quality thath you can instruct? /Thanks in advance
