I'll take a look

oooooh I spotted a possible bug yay lol

Well, I tried it, and after selecting "Prediction Only", that's exactly what it did
Just predicted CQ, and exited.

-kwag

well I feel silly I was usin a older version of cqmatic but hey I done a predicition and yer everythin is fine in latest version sorry about that

why does CQMatic check the video-resolution?
I tried to make a 480x288 - SVCD (MPEG-2)
and CQMatic won't encode!

Welcome Scharfis_brain ! Where have you been so long.

What do you mean CQmatic won't encode?

In regular and as I remember it's all Template-Settings based, also the encoding size, so if the CQmatic routine behaves abnormal, could it be that something's set wrong in your TE-project?

480x288?? (??something Field separarted??? as I know you are very much in interlaced stuff. I think maybe I'm a bit confused now, but you could explain me your intention)

Inc.

I want to encode 4:3 - Fullscreen progressive Video that suffers in Vertical crispness.

therefore some thing like VCD res (288 lines, too!) would be quite nice.

So i decided 480x288@25fps (instead of 480x576) with MPEG-2 would be cool.
My player (CH-505) supports it.

Now I want to make a CQ-encoding using CQ-Matic, but it says

"Your Video reolution is not valid"

480x576 works (who wonders) with CQ-Matic.

I think that this resolution-test is unnessesary.

Hi scharfis_brain,

CQMatic verifies resolutions, and because 480x288 is not a valid resolution ( at least 99% of the players won't support it ), I did put in those resolution constraints.
But then again, 528x480(576) and 544x480(576) are not valid either, but most players do support it. But now, probably new players do support this So here you have it. Happy birthday

u know how u had the auto shutdown function in a previous version of cqmatic I can't remember if it was a shut down windows function or not but a shutdown windows function can come in handy. could this be brought into a new build with a option to enable or disable the feature.

CQMatic never had a shutdown option
I do have it planned for a future version.

-kwag

oh yeah sorry I meant autoclose function hehehe but that auto shutdown would be a handy feature especially for overnight predicitons and havin both as a tick box in cqmatic to enable or disable the feature.

also I was wonderin which average bitrate do I use in calcumatic the first bitrate or the second one?? I've always been a little confused by that why not just have one average bitrate?

The second average, "0.57 * average", is the suggested value to be used as MIN bitrate. It has to do with better prediction.

-kwag

ah good I used the right bitrate lol, well I'm doin a test of cqmatic and tok and in CQMatic usin X3 prediction I got 45.05 , now in tok I got 62.766. The movie is 102 mins and I used 352 x 576 template usin latest script, goin by results I'm more tempted to go with tok cause its normally been right in past for me CQMatic in the past has ended up bein too big in the end mpg file.

@Kwag

You know what I find annoying Having to input the path to TMPGEnc every time

Why can't CQMatic save it in a config file and read it in each time it is started

I know you said that you didn't want to tie CQMatic to any programs, but I would say that it's already tied to TMPGEnc, CCE & MCE by the Encoder choices at the top

Can only be an improvement in my book.

That's exactly what it does. You should not have to give the path each time. There is a problem on your PC

I'll try it again tonight Phil.

Thanks m8

THX. The new version of CQMatic and the feature X3 is very cool and like always easy to use. My first tests are very good and exact.

But can programm one version with batch encode or predict I think this is very cool for many user. Or what do you think?

Maybe in a future "future" version
But don't hold your breath

OK kwag
