i got some conclusions about movies generally, and here they are
1- in my opinion, the best one is smartmovie [this may sound too jerky without explanation, so here it comes]
smart movie just does everything in the most appropriate way. i did play with vdub settings, changing frame rate, compression codecs, different quality settings, resolution settings. then i re-converted that vdub-converted movie with smartmovie.. but none of them resulted a positive thing. always worse than what smartmovie does on its own with reasonable optimizations. you DO get a smaller file when changing those parameters but it DOES take `a lot` from qualitywise..
2- i didnot try the mobiclip, since having no rewind or ff option is really dumb.
3- tried a prog called rm converter that makes those rm files, yeah it converted some $hit and result is so lousy that i cannot describe how bad it is. fast moving scenes take a lot of cpu power and i will never know how it cant handle such scenes while smartmovie can.
4- 3gp is a real bullshit anyway. i put those ones on the site but nah, its just crap compared to smartmovie. especially the 8k sound bitrate limit is disgusting
conclusion
pick smartmovie if you still didnot so. and if i had an international credit card, i could think i would really register the product since it deserves the 30$ price tag at its most. those guys has programmed a really nice prog. and they dont rob us like those jerks at helix producer `shit`udios. they just want us to pay for time they consumed for making this. anyways, just shared my thoughts. cheers
