VLC Transcoding script help

[MDE]

I found a BAT file that automatically transcodes video to WMV to play on my Xbox 360 here. How do I modify the BAT file to increase the quality, or is it as good as it'll get with this method?

I've tried TVersity which wouldn't work (transcoding wouldn't work at all), and Windows Media Encoder just errors like crazy since I've upgraded to Vista, even after I installed the hotfix from Microsoft.

Tip: look for parameters for VLC: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=vlc+vcodec&btnG=Google+Search

vb looks like it might mean video bitrate. Try specifying that, or a quantizer value of 1 for absolute max quality. It goes from 1-31, though I'm not sure what the name for the quantizer value is. Generally you either use bitrate or the quantizer.

I'm assuming the quantizer value is the "-qscale 1" value, so that's already as high as it'll go. I'm still looking, but is there a way to specify the output resolution (namely 1280x720)?

width= , height= ..

Beautiful! The output is great, thanks!
