Bitrates: ABR Option in TMPGEnc?

JonnyD · #1 01-19-2005, 03:26 AM

Is there an ABR (average bitrate) option in Tmpgenc? I'm pretty sure there isn't but just making sure. It seems to me that this would be a very quick way of achieving good quality encodes at a precise file size. The bitrate calculated in CalcuMatic could be used as the average and although the final quality would not be quite as good as with CQ, it would still be well above CBR. Just an idea anyway. I'm new you see.

Thanks

No there is not. And BTW, good quality and ABR aren't good friends. Things are different for audio where ABR mode in lame for instance is correct.

And Welcome

Aah well, CQMatic has done a great job for me so far so it's not too big a deal.
Thanks
