Spell checking, line wrapping for better readability, some additions/better explanations.
Michael: are my notes about error-resistance correct? Is two-pass with b-frames still not fixed? git-svn-id: svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/mplayer/trunk@6271 b3059339-0415-0410-9bf9-f77b7e298cf2

by chageing the quanizer per MB in the future, but msmpeg4 doesnt support that so it cant be fixed

for that)

FAQ: Q: the file is much too small
|
||||
A: vqmin=2 or 1 (be carefull with 1, it could cause strange things to happen)
|
||||
Q: i want to use -pass 1 & -pass 2 with vmax_b_frames>0
|
||||
A: read DOCS/tech/patches.txt and send a patch ;)
|
||||
Q: which provides better error recovery per filesize increase data partitioning or video packets?
|
||||
A: data partitioning
|
||||
FAQ: Q: Why is the filesize much too small?
|
||||
A: Try to increase vqmin=2 or 1 (be carefull with 1, it could cause
|
||||
strange things to happen).
|
||||
Q: Can I use -pass 1 & -pass 2 with vmax_b_frames>0 ?
|
||||
A: Read DOCS/tech/patches.txt and send a patch ;) (XXX still not fixed?)
|
||||
Q: What provides better error recovery while keeping the filesize low?
|
||||
Should I increase data partitioning or the number of video packets?
|
||||
A: Data partitioning is better in this case.
