I am using TMPGenc with DVD2SVCD. I am trying out using CQ and file prediction. How does DVD2SVCD's prediction compare? Is CQ the best method to use?

DVD2SVCD uses a file prediction similar to the old prediction we used. It uses a fixed amount of samples, but each sample is longer than the ones we use here. I don't DVD2SVCD has integrated the new algorithm we use here, wich is far more accurate that the one used currently in DVD2SVCD.

Edit: That means the new algo suggested by Tenra, which is 100% sampler followed by fine grained 10% samplers to obtain final CQ. This has been already integrated in the latest version of ToK.

Is CQ still the best method for making an SVCD? I know there is CQ_VBR and multi-pass options. Seems CQ is the KVCD thing. I am also using the KVCD matrix in DVD2SVCD.

Hi telemike,

CQ produces better overall quality mpegs. No matter if it's using KVCD parameters, or the standard TMPEG templates

yeah Kwag,right(ever)

Cq is really cool,produces better overall quality mpegs,
and in dvd2svcd with TMPGenc is great!

telemike,
I am also using the KVCD matrix in DVD2SVCD....
like you and using CQ in TMPGenc!
the prediction works fine!
