I re-encoded Van Helsing from VOB again in order to test the new encoder.
The first time I ran Van Helsing, this was my info...
Code:
KVCD Format 704x480 - 1.40gb (NTSC)
DVD2AVI v 1.76 Forced Film
Target 2 CD's - 128k CBR Audio
MPEG-1
Max Bitrate 2376 - Min 300
CQ-Value 70.49
High Quality
TMPEG Ver. 2.521.58.169
23.976 FPS - Progressive
AVISYNTH
Mpeg2Source("D:\Video\Rips\VH.d2v")
BicubicResize(672, 336, 0, 0.6, 0, 9, 720, 461)
FaeryDust(limit=2)
UnFilter(50, 50)
TemporalSmoother(1, 2)
MergeChroma(blur(1.58))
MergeLuma(blur(0.2))
AddBorders(16, 72, 16, 72)
The second time I ran Van Helsing with the new encoder, I used this...
Code:
KVCD Format 704x480 - 1.50gb (NTSC)
DVD2AVI v 1.76 Forced Film
Target 2 CD's - 128k CBR Audio
MPEG-1
Max Bitrate 2376 - Min 300
CQ-Value 59.78
High Quality
TMPEG Ver. 2.524.63.181
23.976 FPS - Progressive
AVISYNTH
Mpeg2Source("D:\Video\Rips\VH.d2v")
UnDot()
FluxSmoothST()
TemporalCleaner(5,10)
BicubicResize(672, 320, 0, 0.6, 0, 8, 720, 456)
AddBorders(16, 80, 16, 80)
Now I know that the borders and filters are different, but should it change the CQ value by that much?!?!? Plus the file size is bigger.
Also, ol Kwagster there encoded Red Planet (About 90 minutes) into 1 CD at about 70CQ.

The ratio just doesn't add up... Am I doing something wrong?
