Min/Max Bitrate in QuEnc?
I just discovered QuEnc today, and all I can say is WOW!
8O :D :lol: Quick questions: Is it possible to set the min/max bitrates? Or is it hard coded? If it is hard coded, does anyone know what they are set at internally? Thanks! Icarus |
From what I have experienced with QuEnc 0.47 there is no way to set the min./max. bitrates manually.
i had bitrate peaks of ~11.000 kb/sec at an average bitrate of 2550kb/sec and the minimum was as low as 30kb/sec :!: |
hmmm... I'm afraid that might not play in my player... will have to test it out...
What program do you use to see what the peak bitrate is in your .m1v file? Thanks! Icarus |
Hi Icarus :) ,
We usually use BitrateViewer that you can find here http://www.tecoltd.com/bitratev.htm. Cheers |
@icarus:
I advise you to try out Mencoder. Ratecontrol now works for me everytime. Max. Bitrate is respected without any problems. :wink: |
No offense intended, but from what I have read, QuEnc sounds a lot easier to use. I believe if it included a manual Min/Max Bitrate setting it would be almost perfect!
Do you know how to contact the author to request this feature? For some reason I can't access the Doom9 forums. |
Unforutanelly I can't help you with QuEnc. :(
To use mencoder, you can try my GUI: http://www.kvcd.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=10300 |
I also advice you MencoderMe.
It's also easy to use. And once you take it the smell, if you want to go further and tweak settings, you can in mencoder, not in QuEnc :wink: |
hmm... I feel the peer pressure!
I guess I will try to learn how to use Mencoder/MencodeMe. My reluctance comes from reading that I can't easily import avisynth files. Has this been resolved? It seems a shame that there is not more communication between this board and the author of QuEnc, because at first look it seems extremely easy to use, and for my purposes the only thing missing is a Min/Max Bitrate setting. Anyway, I'll give MencodeMe a try so I can at least do a fair comparison. Thanks! Icarus EDIT: I downloade version 0.22 and it looks as though MencodeMe has the same limitations (if not more) than QuEnc. I don't see where I can specify min/max bitrate, nor how to adjust the GOP. |
In MencoderME, the min/max bitrates are already specified in the templates. Just take a look at the template files. For KDVD for example max bitrate is set to 9800kb/sec etc... :wink:

@Icarus3000
GOP is already set according to what you want to do (KDVD/KVCD, etc), but you can edit the templates and change if really need. The same holds true for Max bitrate. Unfortunatelly right now you can't set min in mencoder without ruining average bitrate (it's a bug). For avisynth support, you need to use MakeAVIS from ffvfw to create a fake AVI from your AVS and then use this fake AVI in MencodeME. In this case, make sure you use the MakeAVIS template. :wink: Get the a cut down version of ffvfw with makeavis only here: http://cultact-server.novi.dk/kpo/av...S-20031113.exe |

BTW, I wouldn't mess with min rate, it makes rate control not work properly... :wink: EDIT: two posts while writing!. I'm really slow posting :oops: :roll: |
Ok... I would now like to try MencodeMe, but am having trouble with MakeAvis.
Can someone explain why I am getting the following error? Quote:

HI Icarus3000
I will just give a guess until someone else comes along but maybe it does not support gripfit(could be and probably wrong) but i got this error first and switched to using BicubicResize and add borders and error was gone. |
