201 kbps video I found seems better than the 70 kps encoding

[Guest kasuku]

I've picked up this 160x120 clip that claims to be 201 kbps at 12 fps and windows media property screen says that it is wm9 audio and wm7 video. This video is totally smooth with no lagging at all. The clip is 3 minutes and is 3 MB so i don't know if I should believe the bitrate.

Now I've encoded a few 70kbps clips with the encoding settings in the tips forum and I get lagg frequently and the quality doesn't seem so good.

so i'm thinking WTF :!:

Is there any way to analyse this magic clip further so that i can use the same setting for my videos?

I can always send this video to anyone here if they wanna have a look and maybe compare with their encodings.

................. errr maybe i should not have offered the clip .......... yet .......... i'm worried about copyright issues and stuff ............. its a clip of Pink - Family Portrait incase some people were getting high expectations.

I will consider sending the clip to the site regulars

These settings here will give you almost that rate. I've used them a few times and they work well for me :)

cheers fozzie .......... i think your post just might explain it.

I have windows media encoder 7.... can i still encode with those settings posted?

[Guest fozzie]

Unfortunately not. You need to use Windows Media Encoder 9.
