Is that what CRF does.
If I understand correctly, you're basically right, yes. However, you're more likely to notice blockiness like that on mpeg4 or divx rips - they are much worse at handling fast motion than h.264.

Cars will rip fine with MF (at least, the region 2 version will) despite making MTR choke.

Sorry for the confusion - yeah, it was an svn checkout, because I'm impatient :)

Cannot change aspect ratio

Hi, Beta 1 user, OS 10.4 with all updates installed, MacBook Core Duo 1.87 I am unable to change the aspect ratio of a movie. MediaFork produces output in the same aspect ratio as the source, with the height calculated from the width I set. All encoding settings I've tried. The only way to get a dif...

Ja, understood.

MediaFork ignores the dimensions I select

[edit] After some extensive testing I have found that MediaFork seems to be maintaining the original aspect ratio whatever I try with any codec, even in the CLI. Accordingly I'm posting in the Bugs forum instead as this is a more general issue for me. [/edit] Hi, As I note here , the 640px wide iPod...

Anamorphic video in QuickTime

I just wanted to point out that it's perfectly possible to play "anamorphic" video in QuickTime - so long as you don't mind the video being in a .mov container. QuickTime Pro allows you to set the display resolution in the movie properties - for instance, stretch your 720x424 widescreen mo...

Re: Using new Media Fork iPod H.264 setting won't copy to iP

Only because iTunes makes it so. Use an app like Floola to copy videos without iTunes, and you'll see that the iPod can actually play H.264 videos wider than 640px... Slightly annoying.
