Can't see the "Source" button!!
It's right on top of the "Minutes"

Will the values calculated in CalcuMatic be passed back to CQMatic?
Nope. Maybe in a future release.

Nothing has changed, regarding the sample

There used to always be a movie.m1v.sample file created if I set it to Prediction Only, but now it doesn't appear to exist in the source directory. Just wondering!
It's there
I've just tested a "Prediction only" run, and my sample is there. It never fails
Unless, for some strange reason in your machine, the current .m1v encoded file can't be renamed to "YourFile.m1v.sample"

sorry kwag my mistake! I tried to delete my post cause I figured out what was wrong minutes after I sent it, but damnit you're too quick! I often forget that when you load an avs file in tmpgenc, the destination folder corresponds to the location of your LAST created mpg, not your new one. So my samples were in another folder, that was all...

Sorry I've been so late in my reply but work got nuts.

Some of you may remember that I was trying to use CQMatic with my analog capture but was getting very strange results. (i.e. a final CQ at 1.5)

I did some more testing with CQMatic and my Huffy source. It seems that Huffy is not the problem. It appears that PixieDust is the problem. I would guess that Pixie loads multiple frames for temporal filtering and thus...gets in the way of CQ's frame access. Many more tests need to be done but I suspect I found the culprit.

Bummer...

http://www.kvcd.net/CalcuMatic.exe
Added:
Support for the following type of files:

.d2v, .avi, .m1v, .m2v, .mpg, .mpeg
So by clicking on the "Source" button, and opening any one of these type of files, the minutes and seconds are calculated from the media.

Edit: Undocumented
Calcumatic will also open .mp2 and VOB files, if you enter "*" on filename, so you can see all files in the directory.

Enjoy

Any chance Calcumatic can put in the appropriate details into cqmatic - that would save half a doze keystrokes

Cheers,

That would be less exercise for your fingers
I had thought about that a while ago, but I think CalcuMatic is now a (fast growing!) separate standalone program for many purposes. I believe it will grow much more that what it currently is, and probably outlive CQMatic, because it is not tied directly to CQMatic in any way.

Hi Guys,
I feel this is it.
Kwag has developed the ultimate prediction tool for all kind of media you can find.
Now, I see that a lot of guys here (in Portugal) are having trouble on their first approach to CQMatic.
Since you guys are preparing a userguide in English I would be very proud to give my contribute on making it's translation to Portuguese.
Thanks.

Kwag: I think it would be great to have that button on the CalcuMatic to transfer the calculations into CQMatic. That would be a lot less confusing for the guys.

I understand your point, but that would tie CalcuMatic to work with CQMatic, and that's exactly what I don't want
I want the products to be separate.
This way, CalcuMatic can be used "standalone" with any encoder, and not necessarily TMPEG. This opens up more doors for CalcuMatic. Anyway, is it too much trouble to enter "2" values from CalcuMatic into CQMatic I don't think so

Here's a suggestion for calcumatic. In addition to being able to open d2v, avi, mpg, etc files, how about loading avs and/or tpr files? Sometimes I use the trim() function to cut out portions of my video, so the entire source movie length does not reflect what I want to encode. Of course the workaround is to simply entire it in manually yourself but this is just a thought!

Hi Kwag & co,

Ran my first prediction test yesterday, Matrix for 2 CD's, very impressed with output received, even using NO filters!

CQMatic gave me a final CQ of 82.19, I have a question though.

What is to stop me from now using that CQ value and running TMPGEnc manually, so that I can encode with audio using tooLame?

I ask that as I am having problems getting HeadAC3he to run.

Thnx in advance.

You can also use Besweet that have a graphical interface (called BesweetGui). The things are esier with it. But you can of course do the job manually using toolame text command line.
