Is it possible you use the final CQ result found by CQmatic in manual prediction? so you can do a batch encode... I don't know how to word this.

For sure !
As long as you do not change any parameters or anything in the script.

What I often do is : launch CQMatic in "Full process" mode. Let it find the CQ. When it finishes, it laucnhes the encode. Then stop tmpenc and add the job to the batch list !

ohhh.... so tmpgenc will remember the cq calculated for that tpr? and its okay to close cqmatic and start it up again for a new project?

Stop asking stupid questions, PLEASE !

if I click on shutdown after finishing encoding, does it shutdown after encoidng 1 file, or will it shutdown after finishing all the files in the list?

Thanks

All the files.

I tried this method. but should I be closing TMPGENC - after it tried to convert the file, so cqmatic can start predicitng the next file? I tried your method and only 10 mins of the first file was encoded, but 100% of the 2nd file was encoded.

CQMatic can only predict one file at a time.
If you want to have batch capability, you must run prediction for each file, and when CQMatic is done with each, and TMPEG starts the full encode, you abort the encode process and save the batch project.
Do that for every movie you want to convert, and after you're done with all, run your full batch process.

how to save the batch project after hitting stop in tmpgenc?

After each prediction, right after you abort TMPEG when it started the full encode, save that as a new project.
That new project will now have the found CQ value and then add that new project to the batch list. Repeat the process for each movie.

sorry what I meant was. Do i save it as a Tmpgenc project after stopping tmpogenc from further encoding?

You can save it as a project (.tpr) or as a batch encode list (.tbe)

Again a useless question ? This in written in PLAIN LETTERS in the file menu "Add current project to the batch list".

You really piss me off :banghead:

You're right Phil
