Bitrates: Still getting oversized files with cqmatic in tmpg 2.524x
I left everything as default on tmpg with the KVCDX3 templates & punched into cqmatic the givin number by calcumatic (1090.2) it was supposed to be a 1 cd encode at 528x480 on a 90 min movie & the damn final video size was 1 gig ... 8O whats going on? whys it doin this to me?
|
Ok, this needs further investigation since you should have ended up with approxm. 718MB.
Please post CQMatic's log. For that simply right-click CQMatic's log window and paste it here on the forum. Cheers |
alittle too late for that my friend, as I had shut down cdmatic after the encode
would jobfile do? probably not huh? |
PLEASE USE THE CORRECT FORUM !
And no need to open two threads on the same problem. People are not supposed to read all answers taht have been already given to you. I am almost positive to say that CQMatic found 89.57 as CQ value. Isn't it ? |

How could I have forgotten about that :banghead: That's what I get for not using Tmpgenc in a long time... Cheers |
thats correct phil cq 89
|
:arrow: Then read the forum.
Here take a look at one of Phil's posts about CQ=87.xx http://www.kvcd.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=90109#90109 It's easy to find it, it just took me 30 secs after pressing the search button on the top of the forum... Cheers |
so am i supposed to only have the tpr file in a simple directory eg. c:\KVCD
OR does the d2v & avs files have to be in a simple dir too? eg. c:\kvcd.d2v or kvcd.avs ?? |
What is important is the files that are referenced INTO the tpr. Only the avs is in this case. But it's a good habit to put them all in a place with a short pathname.
But be carefull that there is others things to check. Not only the filename length. |
my dvd source is sitting on d:\Temp Video Conversion\dvd shrink temp\ along with my ripped subs.
my d2v is d:\kvcd.d2v my avs is c:\kvcd.avs & c:\kvcd.tpr & I'm still getting negative # file size do the negative numbers disapear if it predicting correct? i am using a decimal in avg bitrate calculated (1090.2) could this have to do with the problem???????? i know for a fact its not the source rage thing (i clear it everytime) |
Please read.
You need to reset your project. That's all written in Phil's post. Cheers |

Of course when all is okay, these numbers are positive. Quote:
Post the log file of CQMatic there is others things in it that can lead us towards the solution. |
thnkx phil let me setup everything in 1 dir at see if the negs stop
see you later 2nite :D |
k ... I moved everything to d:\ & kept all simple names but to no avail.
same ish different pile. Here the log, hope u can help CQMatic Version 1.4.08 http://www.kvcd.net Copyright KVCD.Net, 2004. All rights reserved. Time: 06:29:33 Date: 06/27/2005 Ready!

Look at all your :arrow: "File size difference" results :!:
They are ALL negative :!: Check your settings again. Edit: Change this: C:\User Doc#39s & Settings\Win XP Lite Edition\Desktop\AVS.m1v To something shorter. -kwag |
Okay, according to the time of each prediction step (a few minutes), your problem is not in the source range.
The problem is : 1/ in the length of the filenames. Open the tpr file and look at all the filename that are stored into it. If you find a "+" in a name, this is not good 2/ the character used in these filename : the same look into the tpr project to see if you see something that should not be there (# , ' , ...) 3/ you have an audio source defined n your project. Do not do that. Only a video source. Finally, remove the two "tpr" files taht are in the same directory that CQMatic and relaunch it. |
ok I don't see any +, & have no audio defined as I'm using kvcdX3 templated (with resolution set to kvcdx3a BUT ...
could this be the problem, it says ... Job.OutputFileName = 'C:\User Doc'#39's & Settings\Win XP Lite Edition\Desktop\AVS.m1v' But it should say ... Job.OutputFileName = 'C:\User Doc's & Settings\Win XP Lite Edition\Desktop\AVS.m1v' I don't have a folder called \User Doc'#39's & Settings\ The actual folder is called \User Doc's & Settings\ So what to do now? should I jus do what kwag said & set output file to d:\? |

And what do you have in your filename ??? a ' that is turned by tmpgenc into a #39 :banghead: Note: in the original post that I wrote, and that Rui told you to look, I wrote : Quote:

I didnt even relize i had that folder regular xp users have
c:\documents & settings I have xp lite which has c:\user doc's & settings thanks for the help guys lets see how she blows :D |

I can do nothing but urging you to remove this "thing" from your PC before to face to a lot of other problems. Like this one : http://www.kvcd.net/forum/viewtopic....hlight=#118747 You see, everything has an explanation in the end... |
