Default Re: 2-stage AMV encoding, the smarter way

I also find the direct AMV conversion to be less pixelated, sharper and have better color than the 2 step conversion.
Oops, sorry, you're right, the examples were mislabeled. They are backwards. I renamed after I uploaded and I guess I renamed the wrong way. The 12.7MB one was definitely the 2-stage, color-compensating one - too much saturation when viewed on a PC but it makes for better color on a 1.5" ChiPod screen.

The names have now been corrected.

I used AMV Convertor 3.68 at HIGH software settings for both examples.

This one is example-direct-to-AMV.amv

This color-compensating one, is example-pocketdivx-AMV.amv

This NEW 2-stage video clip, adding IVTC to the VHQ CODEC setting, reducing sound quality to 1 (since it is vocal only), backing off the contrast setting to 2 and saturation to 10, seems to look slightly better on my YP757F 1.5" screen.
