CQMatic Filesize Problem
 

When using CQMatic to predict the filesize, I got a 1.1 GB file! I don't know what it is, but if someone could help me I would gladly appreciate it. My movie is 106 minutes and 52 seconds long. When using CalcuMatic, the average bitrate is 905. I suspect that the TMPGEnc project file has something to do with it, but I'm not sure. Here's the log of CQMatic:

As you can see, all the filesize are negatives, that means there is a problem ;).

Check the points I mentioned there :

Also, take care to have "Video onlty" and not "Video+Audio". CQMatic can't deal with audio.

Yea. Found the solution in another topic :oops: Thanks anyways!
