KVCD not made with the official method?
and not 120min either.. ;)
tried something different this time and got quite nice results. movie: DOA - Dead or Alive length: 83min target: KVCDx3 mpeg-1 PAL 528x576 audio: 128kbit/stereo edit: i also added permanent subtitles with ffdshow but they are not visible in that clip. I encoded this with 2-pass VBR option (TMPGenc) because I haven't had success with any CQ prediction programs lately. I also used ffdshow to enhance the picture a little. Download 2min clip here I'm pretty surprised how good quality it is. |
That has me figuring some time now. When you set a 2-pass, the encoding
program calculates a average bitrate to fill the available space. So, you're encoding targeted at a specific filesize, the avg bitrate will be calculated. When using CQ, you're encoding at a minimum contant quality, "ignoring" the filesize. What wonders me: is the 2-pass VBR at lets say 1000kbps average bitrate, the same in quality as a CQ encoding with avg rate of 1000kbps? My common sense says: yes, because you're using the same average bitrate. |

Pixelated all the long - even on the scenes not under the rain - , hardcoded combo artefacts due to bad deinterlacing... Have you ever see a KVCD correctly encoded :?: http://www.kvcd.net/downloads/tomb.raider.sample.mpg http://www.kvcd.net/downloads/red-pl...y-cq63.031.mpg http://www.kvcd.net/downloads/NewScript.m1v.cut.40.mpg These scenes are easier to encode than the one you show but trust me, your KVCD should/could look like them. |

With tmpgenc I often had better quality in CQ mode using only 90% of the disc due to a bad prediction than in 2-pass mode filling the whole 800 MB available. Note: did you look at Rainer's sampler before to answer what you said ? ;) |
Arrgh!!
I can't watch this clip! Two gorgeous women fighting without oil in their skin? That's awful :lol:. Kiddin'! No, I mean, the picture looks horrible. I don't know the final bitrate found by tmpgenc but this is a really bad encode. I can't remember encoding such a bad clip. Maybe...in 2000 or 2001? You gotta tell us what you did because either something is wrong in the encoder (bug or something) or you crewed up somewhere in the rest of the process and we might be of help. Cheers |

well, the quality is good enough for me and i think that's the thing that counts the most.
