Hi.last night before i went to bed i tried to let cqmatic do a an encode for me and here are the results

MOvie-ice age.avi
Average bitrate-1240
length- 81 minutes
Optimal 2.52 script
kvcd3-528x480

woke up this morning and the encode was at cq 90 and the file size was 899 mb.

This was the first beta release

Did i do something wrong or what

Kwag,
Used yesterday's beta (pre-1.0) on a cartoon for the kids. Length was 71min, avg bitrate was 1414. Used 2000 MAX and 0.57*1414 for min bitrate in tmpgenc (you need to announce that setting in the 'optimal scripts' section... I didn't know about it until this thread began!). OH, and used the optimal script with the GOP of 15 as recommended for cartoons.

Anyway, CQ predicted 77.87. Final CD length after muxing with audio: 80min 07sec. Requires a 3sec overburn Talk about accurate prediction!

Okay kwag... I think I've just found a bug... (It is not the codec!!!!)

My AVI film has 23.976 fps but I encode it as a PAL (like I always do!), that means I have a 352x576 resolution... => it doesn't work (CQMatic doesn't search a correct CQ -> it starts with encoding the film!)
The same AVI film, but now I changed the fps to 25.000! I encode the film as a PAL (352x576) and it works! No problems!!!!

Perhaps you can stop that with a message in CQMatic or something....

Get the file again.
Same version, but BETA 2a (Fixes the above

I don't have any control of how you set your project file in TMPEG. It's your responsibility to set the encoder parameters correctly. That would have been a badly encoded picture anyway, if you had used TMPEG directly without CQMatic
What you set in TMPEG, is what CQMatic will see

Do the bitrates have to be set like this or are we free to use the standard ones that the templates give?

This prog is the missing link. It's just getting easier and easier. I don't think anyone believes you when you say that you "sleep" Kwag.

You can probably use any bitrates you want now, but I'm still using the (0.57 * average) for MIN. I'll try the regular MIN=300,MAX=2,500 today, just to verify accuracy.

Check your settings again bigggt, because black prince did that movie, and the result was right on the nose

Load your avi or d2v into moviestacker and it's displayed at the bottom of the first tab (below the movie length in seconds).

I thought it was .75*avg bitrate or is it .57*avg bit rate?

@Kwag,

CQmatic is doing a great job predicting video filesize, but I wonder about
MovieStacker's audio filesize prediction. I tested the latest CQmatic
on "Pitch Black", movie time = 108 min, KVCDx3 (528x480), average
bitrate = 884, 1 cd (80 min), CQ = 63.47. The encoded video filesize
is 690mb and audio filesize 100mb (estimated by MovieStacker).
Headac3he estimated audio filesize at 89mb. There is a difference of
11mb in audio sizes. Is there a way to adjust MovieStacker's audio
estimates to match Headca3he's Audio was 112 kbs. Video prediction
was very accurate and audio sounds awesome. Video + Audio = 781mb.
Picture quality is great (DVD like).

CQMatic 1.0 Release Candidate 1!
http://www.kvcd.net/cqmatic-1.0RC1.exe

Changes:

Fixed:
No more looping trying to find CQ Now you can see the "zeroing in" on target after each pass, which should hit the target much faster than BETA 7 (the last beta of 1.0 branch)
So when you see the CQ difference = 0.X, where X = under 0.25, you know you're close to the end of the prediction prediction

Added:
Now you can double click anywhere on the Log window, and you'll get a message: "Clear contents of Clipboard, and Copy Log to Clipboard? Yes/No
So you know what to do

Now the only thing left before the 1.0 Release, is probably fine tunning the final prediction.

And here's a log of two test movies I just did (prediction only), to verify correct CQ exit point of CQ:

When doing the settings in tmpeg, what do we use for the min and max bitrates, or do we leave those alone.

David
MAX = 2,000Kbps.
MIX = 0.57 * Average Bitrate

You get the average bitratee from Moviestacker (or any other bitrate calculator)

Ok just like we are doing in Tok. I was using the avg bitrate from moviestacker as the min, thats why I couldnt get a descent CQ

I did a prediction again on ice age(avi) again and am having the same problem

here is the log

With a cq of 90 it makes the file 899 mb

Hi bigggt,

Let me try an avi here, and see if I can reproduce your problem
I did a 57 minute (.d2v) and it predicted correctly without errors, but I haven't tried an avi. And I do see something strange there in your log, that it jumped to 90 initially, but then I see a 76.42 there in the end, so It should have predicted again at around that value, and not lock and encode at 90. I'll take a look at that now. Let me scratch my hard drive and see if I can find an avi If not, I'll encode one
