What does "File size difference: -10690560" mean?

I keep getting this error after CQMatic has gone through the first prediction. And the next run TMPGEnc always start at CQ 75.
This is the script I'm using:

Quote:

nf=0

MPEG2Source("D:/Rippat/Reloaded/The Matrix Reloaded.d2v", cpu=6, ipp=false)

GripCrop(480, 576, overscan=2, source_anamorphic=true)
GripSize(resizer="LanczosResize")
UnDot()
Deen("a2d", 2, 10, 12)
#STMedianFilter(8, 32, 0, 0)
MergeChroma(blur(1.58 ))
MergeLuma(blur(0.1))

SwitchThreshold = (Width<=352) ? 4 : (Width<=480) ? 3 : 2
ScriptClip("nf = round(YDifferenceToNext())"+chr(13)+ "(nf >= SwitchThreshold) ? UnFilter(-(fmin(nf*2,100)),-(fmin(nf*2,100))) : TemporalCleaner(6+nf,13+nf) ")

GripBorders()
DCTFilter(1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0.5, 0)

function fmin(int f1, int f2) { return (f1<f2) ? f1 : f2 }

Are there any errors in this script so please let me know. It's driving me crazy with these errors!

That means that CQMatic (or TMPGENC) fails, as we were talking in private;

You told me that the first encoding took 3 minutes ? Are you positive about that ?
Did you try to set TMPGENC to display picture while they are encoded or not ?

Yes, I'm a 100% sure. I have the preview on (as always) in TMPGEnc and it looks great. No errors or distorted images or anything. That's why I think it's really wierd!

And as I understand, you know how to use CQMAtic so it's not a problem of "misuse" of the tool :-(

Really no idea.

I don't think I'm doing anything I'm not supposed to. I tried another script (the MA script) just to make sure the programs worked alright. And I had no trouble with that script... Strange! Can you see if I screwed up your script somewhere? I mean, you know how it should look... :wink:

maybe nothing have to do ...

use deen after mergeluma(*) and
:arrow: dct before gripborder !

* is only my recomendation,but i use
deen("a3d",3,4,0,4) # for light cleaning!

:wink:

Sorry to say but it didn't work. Same error as before. I just don't get what's wrong... :roll:

File size difference can never be negative. Check the path.
Make it smaller.

well....try remove the
cpu=6, ipp=false
as we wrote in another thread,
i never use it and never did problems without it!

the dct before gripborders is the developer recomendation(trbarry)!

we have to find!
:wink:

@ kwag
Well I don't think the error is because of a long path since it works if I use the MA script - from the same path. There must be something else wrong. Just don't know what...

@jorel
Okay, I'll move the DCT line to before GripBorders :wink:
