Mission-Improbable: Second Wind

I ran an SBC encode in Nandub from the near 200MB XviD Danny put up, filtered and everything.

#ASYNTHER Default (AVISource)
AVISource("C:\MI\MI2_720x480(xvid).avi")
_2DCleanYUY2(0,3,2,2,0,5,5)
Convolution3D(preset = "animeHQ")
SmoothHiQ(7,15,25,15,5)
BicubicResize(512,384)

That was my script, and I set Nandub up for a two-pass SBC at 1124kbps max IIRC, and it came out at 96.4MB while not looking like absolute shit. Go me.

1) encode it to MPEG 1 with a bit rate high enough to endure the quality and what not.
2) encode the video like it was last time (well, the 2nd encode or 103 meg version of MI1). or if this the way you guys did it then consider me an ass ^_^

By number 2, do you mean the size of the screen? If so, then I definitely agree on that. I was trying to figure out why M:I 1 played on my computer without a problem, but M:I 2 was out of sync (as in the end of the video). I finally realized the reason today while watching Scryed at my anime club. The problem her was that M:I 2, at 720x480 had a bigger screen size than M:I 1, which was 512x384. While I can play 512x384 files fine on my computer, 720x480 .avi files usually end up out of sync when I play them.

Can't help but notice that in the intro (Which is.. scary...) that my avatar wasn't shown. In fact, it seems like not everyone's was shown at all... were they? I haven't gone frame by frame, but I definitely didn't see mine. (Though I saw my name in the credits.)

I mean... My part didn't suck so bad that you wanna disown me, did it?

Guys, you gotta realize that this is only a WORKING model. This is by no means the final version. I am going to try to get EVERYTHING worked out by the end of the week.

Why am I the only one who enjoyed it. I thought the editing and transitions were better in this one than in MI:1.

I would be fine with 720x480, but for online distro that's not needed and it also makes everything looked squished I think the intro was done in 720x480 native format though and would look squished if it was resized to 640x480.

:\

Neways. I think it's best that we hold off on MI-3. MI-2 had a bunch of problems of people with a lack of interest and not doing their part. So, I don't know. Of course it's not summer and this is the time that people probably can do it. But then again people with lives will probably be at the beach :O

Eh, I loved MI:2. I thought it was a lot better than MI:1 in most respects.

Except my part, I had to avert my eyes. I almost cried.

Was your part the Princess Mononoke part? That's the only part I thought was sub-par.

Flint's part was the NTHT one (right before mine)... that kid's, NicholasDWolfwood, part was the Princess Mononoke.

i thought the Princess Mononoke clip was just scenceless sped up clips with no real signifcant value to the video. there are a couple more clips i got the same impression on but im not going to mention them all (well only 2 more) only the PM clip is what really got to me

I would like to now publicly apologize from my clip (Totoro) but I was kind of stuck between a rock and a hard place in a lot of ways. So, please, forgive me! -_-
