I've recently been using QuEnc 0.51 because the codec is just so sexy. It put an end to all kdvd predictions in my book. Anyway, when I try to add the m2v files created with it to Tmpenc Dvd Author 1.5.19.59, I get an error about invalid Gops...this error specifically:
"*The video GOP is too long.
The video GOP is too long.
For a standard DVD it is necessary that the GOP fulfill the following condition:
Max 36 fields (18 frames) (NTSC format only)
Max 30 fields (15 frames) (PAL format only)"
I get that error using Gop 18 while encoding in QuEnc. I don't know if I'm doing something wrong, but I've tried every combination of settings in QuEnc to try and get it to work, but no matter what I get that error in Tmpenc Author. Does anyone know if this is a Tmgenc error, or its actually using a bigger Gop then the one I set? Here are my QuEnc Settings:
Main Settings
[X] MPEG-2
Bitrate (kbps) (Use CalcuMatic to get the correct average bitrate)
[X] Use VBR
[X] High Quality
[ ] Use Trellis
[X] 2 Pass Encoding
Advanced Options
[X] Use KVCD "Notch" Matrix
[ ] "Extreme & Slow" Settings
GOP Size=18
[ ] Interlaced Encoding
DC Precision = 8
[ ] Force Closed GOP
[ ] Scene Detection
[ ] Auto Max Bitrate
Max Bitrate (kbps) = 8000
Aspect Ratio = 4:3
I'd appreciate any help. Kwag, boricua loco, great site.
