What's the (best) way to compare codecs?
I'm no sure of the source material yet, but lets say DV.
So I envision encoding the DV to another form, say H264.
Then converting it back to DV.
Then it would be good to run both image streams side by side. Quicktime?
Is there a visual diff for video?
Is DV a good format? what would be better?
I ran into some comments about MPEG-2 having better image quality than MPEG-4. This seems counter intuitive to me. I would like to get the source and compare.
Any help is appreciated.
