KVCD: Highest recommended bitrates for KVCD?
 
I'm currently encoding 'The Others' and it's being VERY forgiving during file prediction. I think I'll go ahead with a two disc target just to see how much bitrate I can jam in there. Kwag, I remember you said ~3500 is about as high as max bitrate should go, any recommendations regarding the highest a minimum bitrate should go?? I'm up around 1500(!) right now, and still have plenty of room left!!

I use 2,500Kbps for compatibility reasons. I've found no need to go beyond that, even in action scenes. Only you can tell what's the max bit rate your player will handle :wink:

My JVC eats up 3500kbps no problem :D

But as far as minimum CQ bitrate goes, is it ever a bad idea to up that number?

I wouldn't go above 400Kbps. The higher you go on MIN, the more wasted bits on non action and dark scenes :wink:
