    Picture quality on created film is worse than the original movie?

    Hi

    Why can't I get the same good picture quality on the created film as the original film have?

    I have tested with version 3.58 and now 3.6
    And choose 1080 = same as the GoPro film
    Also choose Maximum on quality
    And 29.97 or 30 fps

    I also choose 26000kbps on video bit rate

    (The GoPro film have 25003kbit/s and 29fps)


    Here is the GoPro

    And here is after I created it in RaceRender:

    In the sky are pixels now visible?


    How high does the "Video Bit Rate" have to be?

    Would you happen to be using Windows 7? We typically only see this reduced quality on Windows 7, due to its lack of support for encoding with H.264's "High" profile, which effectively limits the actual output bit rate. The Windows 7 H.264 encoder also has a 4 GB file size bug, so longer videos require us reduced bitrates to avoid corrupting the entire output file. Fortunately, both of these issues are resolved in Windows 8 and 10, and they include many other improvements as well, especially with Windows 10.

    A workaround for this limitation in Windows 7 would be to use the Windows Media Video (WMV) output option, which does a better job of supporting high resolutions and high bit rates.

    Yes I have Windows 7

    Then I will try (WMV) to see how that will work for me.
