  19. Re:Wost encoding job EVER on The Lost 1984 Mac Video · · Score: 1

    MPEG-4 has a problem encoding bad quaility video, the reason being is because say you have a spot of red on the bottom of the screen for 100 frames, the first frame has the spot of red until frame 100 comes around and says it's a new color. The problem with bad quaility video is that there is so much noise nothing is ever the same for very long.
