Tests and Results:

---

To test out the program I picked 5 segments from the DVD to play with. I did a run through with the program to make sure everything worked correctly. I mixed them up from different parts of the disc. They included large segments that went across chapters and smaller segments that were less than a minute long.

I tried a number of different codec’s that were available to me and adjusted a few of the options such as video quality, subtitles included, outputting to an AVI stream and a few others.

A few of the tests can be seen below. For constancy these are all Segment 1 encodings.

Full Quality 4:2:2 Uncompressed With WAV Audio

• Medium Quality – 5120Mb

• Highest Quality – 1675Mb
• Medium Quality – 850Mb
• Minimum Quality – 480mb

• Medium Quality – 690Mb

• Medium Quality – 450Mb
• Minimum Quality – 250Mb

• Medium Quality – 120Mb

• Medium Quality – 120Mb

• Highest Quality – 250Mb
• Medium Quality – 135Mb
• Minimum Quality– 65Mb

Finally I took an AVI outputted file and ran it though a secondary encoder, Dr DivX 2.0.0 and compressed it down with the DivX 6.4 codec to make sure that if you wanted to use a different codec then it would in fact work.

All of the tests were completed successfully. The Video and Audio were synchronized and the new files played in the appropriate players.
