  RE: Capturing Mini DV: Is it possible to adjust the output file type ?
  Hi Mike. I'm assuming you are going to re-export those projects again in MP4 Format using the doubling of the frame rate as discussed earlier as the combing effect is very distracting on all three videos. Otherwise they work very well. I know

  RE: Capturing Mini DV: Is it possible to adjust the output file type ?
  @CarpentersMate Mike: The MP4 is, to my eye, the wrong aspect ratio. It is currently 3:2 when it should be 4:3. The people's heads currently look a little wide, and setting the aspect ratio to 4:3 in MEP makes them look more natural. The aspect can

  RE: Capturing Mini DV: Is it possible to adjust the output file type ?
  @CarpentersMate Hi Mike . . . . Would a larger initial 'captured file' resulted in a higher quality output file? I'm not convinced.  . . . For me the issue is not whether a larger initial captured file would give higher quality - it will help

  @Stan-Yarrish Hi Using the original images to maintain highest resolution in the project, the simplest method, not requiring any specialised player or Photostory installed, would be to export as a 4K 3840 x 2160 UHD mp4 video file. This should play

  RE: Can I transfer my version of Photostory to a Chrome laptop that I own
  @Stan-Yarrish Welcome to the Magix user to user forums. Photostory runs under Windows OS. Your chromebook runs Chrome OS so I think it extremely unlikely that PS will even install, let alone run, sorry! OTOH, I suspect you could render and export a

  RE: MPEG-2 to MPEG-4
  @jak.willis So what is it about H.264 that it can’t cope with rapid motion without increasing from 25 to 50fps? Probably because you're only getting 25 frames every second with H264 (remember H264 is normally a progressive video codec), whereas

  @jak.willis I've done some comparison encodes. The secret seems to be to export your MP4 at 50fps. I set my movie properties to 50fps as well. Using the QTGMC process at 25fps, I still get dodgy video, but at 50fps for both QTGMC and MEP the video

  RE: MPEG-2 to MPEG-4
  @jak.willis I'm struggling to see much difference between those. We do need to see the original (or smart-rendered version). Using the Main Concept MPEG encoder in MEP, you should be able to smart-render a range of a few minutes for Google Drive.

  @ericlnz Hi Eric. This is just a guess but if you have a TV that increases the standard screen refresh rate it could be done to reduce flickering or bluring. It may be worth Googling. Ray.

  @jak.willis Hi I was actually referring to the default encoder for MPEG-4. With that you aren’t able to select interlaced or constant bitrate options. Or at least on my version you can’t. And there’s no option for 2-pass either. Are you referring to
