KVCDx2 vs KVCD x3
I have really good results with the x2 704x480 template, but I have seen several comments that the x3 template is just as good (or better) when viewed on the TV. My question is this: why would a reduced resolution produce identical results? When I viewed samples from both templates on my monitor, the x2 output looked better.
I haven't put any XVCD's together with x3, but I will be more than willing to give it, a try (with the proper convincing). So, convince me! Is the advantage to be found in a shorter encoding time, reduced block noise, smaller file size, what's the appeal? Thanks in advance for this; I'm still a hopeless Noob :lol: |

Holy smokes!! :oops:
Yep, that did it. All further projects will be x3. Thanks, Sansgrip!! |
Mine too. Have just finished Spiderman. Over two hours, almost fullscreen and the quality is very acceptable.
(eventhou the final quality was 7.77) Very nice job the gurus in here!!! Keep on going. Gaudi |
I can now testify that I was a complete fool using the x2 template. The quality on 'Super Troopers' is nothing short of gorgeous!! Granted, since I am still mostly a complete fool, I chose to activate Tempgenc's color-correct AND noise reduction filters, and I am now looking at a 25-hour encoding time for a 98 min movie... :D
I can be VERY patient when it comes to better results.... Thanks to Sansgrip and Kwag, and all the rest of you merciless, unstoppable video gods!! :twisted: |

But I am loath to learn an all new program just yet. If you can steer me in the direction of a good thread based on this technology, I'd be grateful. Did I mention I was a complete idiot? :D |

If you need help, and it's about Avisynth in general, shout in the Avisynth forum. If it's about one of my filters specifically (Blockbuster, FluxSmooth, Sampler, etc.) shout in SansGrip's Filters forum and I'll see what I can do. Quote:

All right, SansGrip, I downloaded the scary new software addition to my desktop, per your instructions. I have no doubt that you are right in recommending this, but I fear you've overestimated my end-user skills :D
I'll work at it, and I hope to deliver good news soon... |
SansGrip,
BTW, thanks for offering your help. Hope I don't need it (I probably will LOL), but nice to know it's there.... |
CQ setting
on the KVCD X3...
What is the lowest CQ setting you would goto before you split it up on more CD's? I've used 11 for my lowest and it looks great on a normal 32" Television. |
Hi KingTuk,
The best thing to do is to look at your encoded prediction sample. If it looks good for one CD, leave it. If not, then go for 2 CDs :D -kwag |
I'm encoding K-19 right now, at 15 (lowest I've had it). I may have to run it through again, It's almost done and the file size (video only) is Over 700 megs. Hopefully I can add the audio and keep it small enough to burn!
I'll keep that 11 minimum in mind if it comes to that! |

The only way of knowing what is "too many" is to encode lots and lots of samples at different quality levels, then play them on your TV. You'll soon pick up a feeling for what is acceptable and what isn't. Quote:

@Reno
I encoded K19 with the latest 704x480 template using clip borders in Tmpgenc. Here's the template. LoadPlugin("D:\Downloads\FitCD\MPEG2DEC.dll") LoadPlugin("d:\downloads\fluxsmooth\fluxsmooth.dll ") LoadPlugin("d:\downloads\sampler\sampler.dll") LoadPlugin("d:\downloads\legalclip\legalclip.dll") mpeg2source("D:\Movies\Vob\K19\K19.d2v") LegalClip() BilinearResize(672,352,0,0,720,480) FluxSmooth() AddBorders(16,64,16,64) LegalClip() Got it on 1 disk with excellent quality. -Yoda |
Mucho thanks Yoda!!
I'll try that out. Oh, one more (really dumb noob) question; you appear to have loaded some of Sansgrip's filters in Tempgenc. I thought those where written for Avisynth! They're supported? Argghh... |
