Grayed Out Area

[Bud]

Kwag,

I took a look at the KVCD Predictor, the one I have is .01b, when I open , the get movie length from soucre is grayed out, all others appear to be ok. So based on your recent PM to me I can't select the d2v file, I can get the Audio size ok. Is there another version out there? Secpmd question is how do I know how much of the movie to use in order to get teh sample size? Many thanks for your help....

Yep, look in the KVCD Predictor thread for version 0.2.

SansGrip,

Thanks...have the latest. Bare with me on this as I am the new guy when it comes to using the KVCD Predictor. Here is the avs script I came up with:

LoadPlugin("C:\encoding\MPEG2DEC.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\encoding\FluxSmooth.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\encoding\Sampler.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\encoding\Blockbuster.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\encoding\LegalClip.dll")
mpeg2source("D:\K9_PI_NTSC_FINAL\VIDEO_TS\K9.d2v")
FluxSmooth()
Blockbuster( method="noise", detail_min=1, detail_max=10, variance=1 )
Blockbuster( method="sharpen", detail_min=20, detail_max=90, strength=2)
LegalClip()
BicubicResize(448,350,1/3,1/3,14,0,692,480)
#TemporalSmoother(2,2)
AddBorders(16,65,16,65)
#Trim(0,139804).FadeOut(150)
#ConvertToRGB24 # For TMPGEnc or VFAPI
#ResampleAudio(44100) # CCE 2.5 'crashfix' for Athlons
#== If you want this 'fix' permanently, edit the INI-file:
#== Under [AVSscript] set CCEcrashfix=1

Now the question is will TEMPGnc stop when it reaches the required sample size? If so what am I missing because when I do run this through TEMPG it will attempt to process the full movie. so I don't have the size I need to do the sample. The 2nd question is after I get the predicted size I then go the settings in TEMPG and change the CQ-VBR to the recommended setttings right? Again many thanks for all your assistance.

You must add "Sampler()" to your last line in the script.

Yes

Working on it....the predicted sample size was 10.32MB, should this be place in the script to tell TEMPG where to stop the sample and if so where in the script would I place this? I have tried some things but TEMPG will keep trying to run the complete process going pass the sample make. Thanks again

Now you go to step 2 on Predictor and it will ask you to select the sample file. Then it automatically calculates another value for CQ_VBR.

Kwag,

Still trying to work out the first part, where in the script do I tell TEMPG to stop when it reaches the magic mark of what the predictor tells me it should be? i.e 13.32 MB or will TMPGE just stop processing the sample run. I have monitored TEMPG and it will tell me the total processing time will be 5+ hours, I would think for a 13 MB sample it would stop when it gets the size I need after about 2-3 mins or so. So I think the part I seem to be missing is where in the avs script do I tell TMPGE to stop processing. Getting closer to the where I want to be.

You don't have to tell it to stop. It stops automatically after it makes the sample. The line "Sampler()" does that for you.

You script should look like this:


LoadPlugin("C:\encoding\MPEG2DEC.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\encoding\FluxSmooth.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\encoding\Sampler.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\encoding\Blockbuster.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\encoding\LegalClip.dll")
mpeg2source("D:\K9_PI_NTSC_FINAL\VIDEO_TS\K9.d2v")
FluxSmooth()
Blockbuster( method="noise", detail_min=1, detail_max=10, variance=1 )
Blockbuster( method="sharpen", detail_min=20, detail_max=90, strength=2)
LegalClip()
BicubicResize(448,350,1/3,1/3,14,0,692,480)
AddBorders(16,65,16,65)
Sampler()
