vidprofile is a collection of a few components
that finds the best way to create MPEG video with
mjpegtools. It fully characterizes mpeg2enc from
mjpegtools and helps answer the question: given a
file size limit, what are the best mpeg2enc
options (and values) to use that give the highest
possible quality MPEG video? mpeg2enc has an
abundance of command line options, and each one
tweaks the encoded output (some options tweak to
larger degrees than others). vidprofile offers a
set of tools to let the user fully test each of
the options in mpeg2enc and quantify the output
video's size and quality.
