How about use X264 for Carbon Coder

[vfx3love]

Hi everybody,

           I try encoding music video clip by Carbon Coder with SD profile ( best profile recommend by they): H.264 resolution 720x576, bitrate CBR 2Mbps but quality look so bad . Had many blocking in moniton fast and artifact detail .

           I know X264 can output high quality more than Carbon Coder but hard config and no interface control task jobs . Can use X264 internal for Carbon Coder ? Can your help me ? Thank so much .

           And I have one more question : I know X264 development by Aimar and him hired to Ateme . Ateme had Kyrion File Encoder with ads the better quality encoder and best than X264 . Where can find quality compare them ? . Sorry for my english no good .

I know X264 can output high quality more than Carbon Coder but hard config and no interface control task jobs .

MeGUI, HandBrake, ...? There are many frontends that help with these things.

x264 command line really isn't that hard to use either, but you'll need to encode audio separately.

And I have one more question : I know X264 development by Aimar and him hired to Ateme . Ateme had Kyrion File Encoder with ads the better quality encoder and best than X264 .

Maybe in 2006. x264 has improved a lot since then, and I doubt Ateme has anything better to offer now.

Where can find quality compare them ?

The only place that seems to do codec tests and comparisons correctly is the group at MSU: http://www.compression.ru/video/index.htm
Their most recent test can be found here: http://www.compression.ru/video/codec_comparison/h264_2011/

To summarise, x264 has lead every test they've done for the past few years.
