Woooah!!
Gotta stop drinking while encoding. The output looks
tore up from the floor up!!!
Used file prediction (finally), and have the same length movie within a 784 meg data budget at CQ 56...
I hope
I, as usual, used an unorthodox file prediction method (please tell me this works!)
Referenced total runtime of flick 148 minutes * 60 to get total seconds (8880), divided by total seconds of clip encoded with Sampler (80) =111
Then simply multiplied my output file size by that number. (-edit- I nailed it down to the megabyte!!)
Have another question, (again as usual I hijack my own thread). If I increase my data budget to two CDs, should I double the max and min bitrate to increase quality, or jack CQ up to 80, see if I have breathing room, and then up the minmum bitrate??
Tanks, guys!!
