KVCD: Can't change Size, always 435MB for 43 Minutes?
 

Hi there!
I´m a little experienced in S/VCDs but totally new to KVCD :wink:
I have a slight problem: I want to get two epsiodes of "Babylon 5" on 1 CD (2x43 Minutes) and thought this could be done with the KVCD x2 Template. But no matter which Template/Setting I use, the Output of 1 Episode is always 435 MB.
I´ve been browsing this Board for a while and thought I was informed, but now nothing works as expected:
I use FitCDs Script
LoadPlugin("C:\fitcd02\MPEG2DEC.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\fitcd02\blockbuster.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\fitcd02\sampler.dll")

AviSource("G:\2x02.avi")
BicubicResize(320,512,1/3,1/3,6,0,468,352)
Blockbuster(method="sharpen", detail_min=20, detail_max=90, strength=8)
AddBorders(16,32,16,32)

in TMPg, load the Templates and encode...435 MB for 1 Epsiode.
So I changed the CQ-Factor from 31 to 21 and encode...435 MB. 8O 8O :?:
This happened using the KVCDx2 with 352x576.
Curious, I now used FitCD again and went for the x3-Template.
Again 435 MB with a CQ-Factor of 28 and 21.
Now I´m quite confused... I thought changing the CQ-Factor was the Way to change the Filesize, am I wrong? :?: :?:
Thanx for your Help

What version of TMPEnc are you using?
Version 2.59 has a file size problem so try and get 2.58 if you can.

Also, make sure that the stream type is set to ES (video only).

What coincidence, i use 2.59... been doing test encodes for 3 days now and the solution is that simple :roll:

Thanx for the help, will try to get the 2.58 and hope things get better that way...

So long

Try the new version 2.510 just released :wink:

Always one step ahead of the rest of us! :wink:

Has anyone tried the new version for the file size issue?

Yeah, me ;)
Thought better upgrade to .10 than downgrade to .3 8)

Works fine for me, no problems so far, just fitted 170 Mins of 352x576 on a CD with the .10

So long

BTW: Thx Kwag for those Templates...work like a charm :D
