    Excuse me if this is the wrong forum for this question.
    I want to know, with those great H.264 movies. I want to convert them into VP6.2 format. I find that VP6 is great from what I've seen. I want to know, when converting those H.264 movies to VP6.2 should I use CBR or VBR? I don't want to lose quality and want of course to have a smaller file size than the original H.264 movie. I don't plan on streaming the movie from the internet either. Which would be better just for standard playing on a computer or on a DVD. Thanks!

    VBR will pretty much always get better quality than CBR.

    yes definately use VBR. It quite often saves space by applying the appropriate compression, and will result in overall higher quality. If there is an option for two-pass VBR, thats even better. it takes twice as long to render, but it guarantees that the output looks good and doesn't have any distortion or pixelation
