Anybody Tested the Bvcd Matrix?

My question is.
Does anybody here full tested that matrix?
I heard Dampos opinion and many other in VMesquita's forum, but not here.
Filesize is lesser than obtained with KVCD. Quality looks at less same than KVCD one.
Any valid opinion?

I did only one test so I can't really classify the matrix but it is as I said in french : just an other matrix.

I still use the KVCD one. And you should look more in dark areas IMHO.
(note: a lot of matrix give filesize smaller than KVCD-Notch. It is not aimed to reduce the filesize, but to reduce the artefacts).

More accurate opinion was given by Inc in moderator's section :

To obtain an even more higher compression on KVCD/Bach1 etc. just replace the values of the last 2 right side columns to 99. But thats only a workflow if a simple TV set is your target or if captures are the source as a cut of highFreqs is highly visible at recent TV Sets.

And so is the quality

Take a look on the upper left portion of the matrix, and you'll see there's no "Notch" pattern, which is what kills DCT blocks on low lit scenes and flat dark (gray ) walls with KVCD.
Not so with BVCD matrix

I did'nt want so start a new thread so I decided to ask here (sorry if it is the wrong area), but what about trying certain mpeg-4 q-matrxies? I was wondering if it'd be worth to do a few test with.

Standard MPEG-4 matrixes are not very efficient, when applied to MPEG-1/2 encodings.

And the opposite : I tried KVCD-Notch for doing Xvids... not good

Yep. You're 100% right
