Hi everyone! As you may have seen on the news feed, the new encoding guide (which many of you have seen during the time it lived in my namespace on the wiki) has just been officially launched. If you're looking for that guide, it is in the main namespace now. Have fun with encoding!

Seems very complicated... I'd just drag the logo and avi into windows movie maker, save (using a high bitrate), and then compress it again (with x264) with avidemux. Btw, i've noticed a strange thing about encoding. If you have better settings, you produce a larger filesize (using CRF). For example if you have subme10. Subme5 is produces a little smaller files, and is faster too. Trellis also creates larger filesize, lol. I know it sounds strange, but try it.

Windows Movie Maker? Really?

Windows Movie Maker really isn't a good idea... there is noticeable quality loss no matter how you export.

yes, haha... it's the only free program that i know that can easily import a picture (logo) without having to do all these complicated avisynth codes and whatnot.

hm... there shouldn't be any noticeable quality loss if you create a custom profile with highest possible bitrate and 60 fps. i doubt h.264 at 1000 kbps can be better than wmv at 50000 kbps. btw, did you try using worse settings with x264 yet? like subme5 and disable trellis. you'll get a slightly smaller size using CRF. i recommend using bad settings because they compress better. it will save a lot of time for encoders.

Yes, but it will look uglier than a sloth's sphincter, to be blunt. Trust me, if an idiot like me can make site-quality encodes, I'm sure you can nfq.
