Bitrates: What script and CQMatic setting for pure NTSC interlaced?
 

fps material? I've only done 23fps file till now so I could use some tips. I posted here cause I'm not sure if CQMatic is accurate with 29fps material.

Re: What script and CQMatic setting for pure NTSC ingerlaced
 

yes, is really accurate with 29,97fps!
i did 2 musicals last week! perfects!
my results was posted "somewhere" here!

believe:
Kwag buy last month a musical 29,97 only to test CQMatic/CalcuMatic!

:wink:
go ahead my friend!

Should I use fielddeinterlace or something? for an 84 minute movie at 528x480 I was getting CQ values in the 30's. I know 29fps will give a lower CQ value, but that seems really low

yes my friend,you can use fielddeinterlace()..
better is read this post to understand how it works:

for 1 cd i got round CQ 68 using 480x480 mpeg2 in ~88minutes!
(one of my players don't like 5??x480).
the CQ that you got is too low for 84 minutes,
something is "strange".

thanks i'll give it a try and see if I get higher CQ
