Thanks a Lot!

I have successfully made my first kvcd.
It's 180 mins fit onto one cd.
352x240 , the quality is not bad.

Though my script worked with tok , cqmatic just did not work , would open empty windows and then encode the video at default cq 60.

You surely have an audio source defined in your tmpgenc project; You must let this field empty for CQM to work.

Will try cqmatic in the next file i try.

This movie which i have encoded is 774mb , but showing track length as 88.09 and nero would not burn it , any way out.

Edit:

It's done, multiplexed it with bbmpeg and track length 79m.

Thanks dialhot , my kvcd guru.

what did you use to calculate your min and max rates?

Nothing; Only experience and experiment are talking there.

... great its taking forever to do this one movie.I've been encoding 5 times today and each time with different results. None are the ones I want. Can someone show me how to calculate the min and max for movies that I am trying to back up? cqmatic only gives the avg. But not the min and max. HELPP!!!!

What is your encoder, please?
If you would use MencodeMe, you could forget these kind of question. But if you want to learn advanced techniques, you will encode again and again, this is the way to learn.
Answering your question, you don't need usualy, to change min and max bitrates. If your encoder is TMPGEnc, first select the adapted template (according with movie time). If your wish is to fit your movie in a X media, play with CQ values, not with bitrates. You can use CQMatic wich will take care of CQ, prediction and encoding.

I've switched to cqmatic and my file is the same as the guy who originally made this post, but my file is 83 mins long and can't directly burn it n nero. the cqmatic keeps changing the cq and its taking forever. my encoder is tmpgenc. Tmpgenc keeps saying it can't mak e the m1v file... don't understand y because I have at least 3 gigs of memory avaliable in that drive

@WOWIEGURL,

Post your CQMatic log.

Is it u kev, from desitorrents.com!?!?



thought so wen u sed, old indian movie, n u making kvcd...

hows the quality?

safe...

laterz

can't copy the log in cqmatic, but after using cqmatic my file has gone from 150570 frames to 120576 frames. It is now 352*240 @ 23.976, cq 79.52.

When I used tok I got this log min 300 max 2300

I really need help

I should have been more specific.
A double click on the log window of CQMatic, copies the log to the clipboard

I don't see what is your problem : CQMatic does its job, find the CQ (79.52) and laucnh the real encode.

Where is your problem
