Hi (last time) Kwag..

This time, I got the same issues before, w/ the error mesage about 3:2 pulldown.

Also, a new twist..
The window open very fast, three time and closed down. I know I've read
this issue before, so I'll give a search tomorrow, cause I'm really tired now :)

Thanks for lots,
signing off...

But, here is my log file FWIW:

Re: Hmm...bad results
 

Still no success!
With RC5 the size of result is 771 802 741

May be MovieStacker gived me WRONG average bitrate? With which tool i can check it?

And I'll try version 1.0 final...

@Kwag

Why use a max bitrate of 2000? SVCD or x(S)VCD can go higher, why not use it? Would it not improve the encode?

Also, do you have answers to my previous post?

Cheers

This probably sound stupid but how do I find the log for cqmatic, I know it says it copies to the clipboard, but where is the clipboard, because I cant seem to find it on my comp?

David

Clipboard =

copy -> clipboard
paste <- cliboard

(ctrl+c and ctrl+v)

Fixed in 1.01 ;)

Thanks Razor..I should've realized it was something simple.



David

It has to do with the linearity range in TMPEG, when allocation bits. If the MIN and MAX are spread to wide apart from average, specifically when average is not centered between MIN and MAX, prediction will not be as accurate.This is a CQMatic thread :!: Not an AviSynth thread :!:

-kwag

Kwag, just have to ask...........
 

:?: Given the rapid development of CQMatic and numerous postings and tests, have you any speculation about when you will reach release 2.0 that includes the DVD friendly bitrate calculator?

I'm still testing with KDVD by using the prediction formula you so thoughtfully posted and really appreciate the effort you're putting into this. I think the day is quickly approaching when we can just start CQMatic and sit back and watch it do all the work! :D

It's been a long time since I saw your first postings on another site that described putting an entire film on a single CD. :D KVCD/KDVD and now automatic prediction!

Hi nicksteel,

I don't have a time frame yet, because I want to get prediction as perfect as possible. There are still some inconsistencies with interlaced sources and DivX sources. Not as bad as before, but still not as accurate as I want it to be. So you'll be seeing 1.0x releases, which will be either bug fixes, or prediction adjustments only. After that, then I'll release version2, which will sport the calculator and who knows what else :)
But I assure you that when we are happy with prediction, count on less that 24 hours, and you'll see version 2 posted ;)

ok, heres my results on Dog Soldiers PAL DVD (99min):

movie stacker average bitrate - 1009
i used 2000max and 300min in tmpgenc
movie stacker wanted file size - 727mg
encoded file size - 750mg :(

the encoded file size was not too far off, but i still can't fit it onto a cd :!:

could it be that movie stacker is giving me a high average bitrate for some reason :?:

Hi kinggee,

Did you use CQM 1.0 or greater :?:

Edit: I get an average of 987Kbps with MovieStacker for a time of 99 minutes :!:

-kwag

hey kwag,

i used CQMatic Version 1.0 RC-5

i am trying Version 1.02Release now :wink:

Based on my average, yours would give +17424KB over required :!:
Check that you have set Moviestacker to "MPEG Multiplexing: bbMpeg VCD MPEG-1", and "Seq. header alignment" checked
Then, you should see 987Kbps for average bitrate.
So your final size would have been 750MB (~768,000KB - 17,424KB) = 750,576KB. And then 750,576KB / 1.024 = ~732.984MB which would have been damn close to your required 727MB :D

-kwag

ok now i don't know whats going on :!:

and this is what it said at the bottom of tmpgenc when it started:

CQMatic (MPEG-1 528x480 0.0023976fps CQ 50) 8O

i've stuffed something up good :!:

ok i checked the Seq. header alignment box and now it gives me an average of 995. Better, but not 987 :roll:

i am using 96kbps sound

Hey guys, man got home from work today and found three new releases
:D and see that the warning about divx and xvid is gone.

one question Kwag you wrote in moviestacker is this just for a certian project or should it be checked all the time because i looked in my settings and mine isin't checked.

Thanx

That is correct ;)

-kwag

:lol:

i re-installed tmpgenc and everything seems back to normal now :)

but i still can't get movie stacker to give me an average of 987 :!:

SORRY :!: Don't check Align sequence headers. It must be unchecked :oops:

:doh:
