You'll see that TMPEG automatically selects "Non-interlace".

Yes. You're right :)

That's what the little "calculator" icon is there for :)
It will be integrated in version 2.0 :cool:

sorry for the lame answer didn't get the latest version till after postin msg :oops:

Kwag...want to make sure I got this. If I am using FieldDeinterlace() in my script on an interlaced source I usually set video source as "Progressive" in Tmpgenc for mpeg-1 project. In CQMatic I still check the "interlace" box however. Is this correct?

Hi kwag,

in CQMatic there are disabled checkboxes for MCE and CCE. Do you think you'd sometime be able to include vmesquita's CCE method in CQMatic?

Yes. You must check the "interlace" option in CQM.

I haven't tried that yet :!:
And I will go forward, only when I finish with the TMPEG problems we currently have. CCE should follow. MCE, I don't know. I'm still waiting on a E-Mail I wrote to them, related to command line control. Apparently, MCE doesn't have any :!:
If that's the case, MCE will be removed from the option, as there's no way to use the program from external sources.

Is this true? I thought if you have telecide and decimate or fielddeinterlace in your avs script it is considered progressive material because it is frameserved as such?

Should I use the interlaced option even when using telecide and decimate to convert 29fps interlaced hybrid material to 23fps?

No. Only when the source is 29.97fps interlaced and you are encoding at 29.97fps.
If your source is IVTC'ed, with telecide or any other function, then your source is seen as progressive by the encoder, and you must "uncheck" the option. ( Actually it will be unchecked automatically, because CQM will see "Progressive" in TMPEG's source type )

Kwag,

As you probably know, CCE doesn't have native command-line support. But we can use ECLCCE to add this functionality. ECLCCE does not crack CCE executable, it just simulates normal user input, and uses WIndows Functions. So probabily, this could also be done with MCE to allow CQMAtic to work! This is just an idea, I don't know exactly how this is implemented in ECLCCE.

Hi vmesquita,

Yes, I think ECLCCE is what DVD2SVCD uses to control CCE.
It's really sad these programs (CCE, MCE) don't have any kind of command line control :?
I really don't like the "User simulated software" programs, as they can fail under some conditions. And then, the complete process is messed up :!:
But if it is the only alternative, then that's the way it will have to be done :)

It's definatelly sad... It's not really reliable, and new versions sometimes kill the thing... But sometimes it's the only way. I think most companies really don't care about this.

CQMatic 1.1.04 up!
 
As usual, at the top of this thread :!:

Changes to 1.1.04
Added: Internal prediction factors now taken into consideration, depending on the project resolution.
Valid resolutions are:
352x240(288)
352x480(576)
480x480(576)
528x480(576)
544x480(576)
704x480(576)
720x480(576)
Any other resolution will not be processed
A warning message will be issued by CQMatic if you try to process any another resolution.

You better try CQMatic 1.1.0.4, since the previous Versions aren't very accurate.

kwag 08-08-2003 06:37 PM

Better yet, get 1.1.06 :mrgreen:

But something wrong...

Why you sample the "end" of the movie, when the generic is display...

99% of tihe time, it's only a big black background with white letter...

This 4 minutes of generic at the end of a movie, calculated by CQMatic don't "false" the result???

kwag 08-08-2003 09:48 PM

Hi Rambytes,

CQMatic samples whatever you set in your project file. If you don't want end credits, then cut them off in DVD2AVI, when you do your project file.
