Hi, i'm new here, and i'm thinking of getting the r4 revolution soon. But before I do, I want to ask a simple question. When you convert some sort of video file into the r4, does it's size get bigger than the original, or smaller than the original? Thx for your time

As an example, I converted the Transformers DVD (4+gigs) to DPG and now it's down to 387 megs.

Crap... That's a pretty good conversion rate. That drops to it right under 10% of the regular size!

How do you guys get such good Video sizes? I tried a Simpsons Episode which was about 95 MB, then after I converted it to .dpg it went up to about 150 MB.

Whatever, it's probably because I used the best settings possible.

What settings you choose? In some cases choosing Ultra or High increases the size.

I had a 1gig movie i made in Premier, converted it to .dpg and it was 12.3meg
If you don't believe me i''l take a screen shot

EDIT: If you browse through this guide I'm sure it says something about dpg files increasing in size

Yeah, I used Ultra.

I don't think theres any quality differences really? Next time I guess I'll try medium/low settings.

Not only are you reducing the resolution in most cases, but also the frame rate. I'm not up to date on DPG video, but last I checked, you couldn't do more than 18FPS or for a fullscreen video without problems in Moonshell. That's a 25% reduction in frames for a 24fps movie.

You can't give a simple answer though. Using high bitrate DPG conversion on a really horrible, overcompressed source file will produce a bigger file than the source.

If you're converting from a higher quality video to a lower quality video (or of equal quality in a different format) don't use nero. Rip the video and encode it using an ffmpeg(2) converter, you'll get better results at a smaller video size.

For windows users, I recommend: SUPER, you can find it on download.com for free.

After you encode it using SUPER(or ffmpeg equivalent), convert it into DPG form.

    If your throat closes, putting oxygen in your mouth will not solve anything - as you will be introducing oxygen prior to the area of obstruction
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    Just kiss me Kyle.
  • x65943 @ x65943:
    You either need to be intubated to bypass obstruction or create a stoma inferior to the the area of obstruction to survive
