KVCD: do you See the Difference Between CQ 70 and 75?

[CheronAph]

Do you see the difference between CQ 70 and 75?

[Boulder]

I don't see it. Then again, I don't watch the results closely and compare them. I just know what my eyes like

[CheronAph]

ToK gave me a CQ 70 but the file was 674 megs, the audio is 89 megs so I can add a little CQ more, is it worth it?

[Boulder]

I'd say that if you have the time to do another encode, yes. What resolution do you use?

If the movie originally has a very good 5.1 soundtrack, it might also be worth raising the audio bitrate, for example from 128 to 160kbps.

I´m using 704x576, it´s a cartoon, Atlantis! The original audio is, Audio : 106 Mb, 156 Kbps, 48000 Hz, 2 chan., 0x55 = MPEG Layer-3, Supported
And yes, I have the time...

I have done some toons at 704x480 and others at 528x480 and the one at 528 look a lot better must be cause the 704 template is a low to medium action template and you see the little squares with fast action toons.

Definitely go for a new encode. With that resolution it might make a difference

I agree with ovg64
It's better to go for 528x480(576), as it will let you raise the CQ far beyond 704x480(576)

i'm curious CheronAph!


you use:
CQ 70 ,
704x576,
the audio is 89 megs
and can add a little more CQ

what is the final time of this movie?

seems to me that can be more than 60 minutes,
maybe 80 minutes, right?
then i'm loosing some cos with this resolution,audio and CQ,
can i put this all in 1 cd 700mb?

The movie is 95 minutes and I used CQ 75, I just muxed it and cutted the end credits off, the final size of the .mpg was 772 megs! So I could have added some more CQ!

[jorel]

95 minutes CheronAph ?



i never try this resolutions and sizes .
the max that i got was 480x480 with
CQ66 in 82 minutes cutting final credits

i think that with more (re)size and more CQ means more quality, right?
of course, i was doing the last Kwag's script in MovieStacker
and encode in ToK after got the prediction value!

am i doing something wrong?
