So here we are again
Why another update?
Here are the answers:
Many people liked the original template, because it produced acceptable quality and fit most movies in a single CD.
The last template that was posted, even though the quality was much higher, the file size was very unpredictable. Some movies came out about the same size as the original template and others came out gigantic.
So hopefully this revision solves the problem and fills the gap to please everyone.
The quality is almost as good as the last template ( the one with CQ=80 ) , but the file size increases only around 300k per minute in relation to the original template ( which is not that much taking into account the increase in quality )
Here are the changes to the current template:
CQ=70
GOP 1-15-3-1-0
MIN bit rate 300
MAX bit rate 1,750
P Picture spoilage 0
B Picture spoilage 0 <-------- This is what made a huge change in quality! The default is 20.
Audio parameters were left the same as the last template. Dual Channel 128Kbps.
You'll notice that the quality will be almost like using CQ=80, while maintaining a small foot print on the file size.
Use bit rate viewer (

You'll see the difference from the original template to the new one.
The original template was:
CQ=70
GOP 1-18-3-1
MIN bit rate 300
MAX bit rate 2,300
P Picture spoilage 0 ( TMPEG Default )
B Picture spoilage 20 ( TMPEG Default )
