beta 6 test :

5 tries, then he found a cq of 51,50...
encoded same movie with 57 as cq, filesize (only videostream) was ca. 840mb i think , instead of 685...so the cq could go right!

don´t have the bug with the loop

What TV-System do you have PAL

Testing right now, thx :P
I'm sorry but i'll be offline in ~10 mins. Hopefully another user has the same problem as i have
My girlfriend has no internet connection at all. Thats the next thing i'll change

CQ's: 60, 57.38, 56.07, 55.41 ...

The connection, or your girlfriend

yes i have pal (germany)

well, beta6 gave me a cq of 51,50, whichs seems to be realistic , but manually i got an cq of 54, well must check it...

will test beta7 with shorter movies to get faster results, which i can post

with versions 1.0b6 and b7 the CQ increase from
CQ63,10 to CQ63,62 ,just the same final prediction for each.

remeber,i got perfect final size 290mb with CQ63!

I'm glad my girlriend doesn't watch. She would do this:
I just phoned her to get 15 mins....

Hi Jorel,
great results. How many tries does CQMatic need to find final CQ
You post your results sooo fast
Mine takes about 5-10...

Not anymore with BETA 7

running 9th at the moment and still not finished. Maybe because of the short video length.

Yes. What are the CQs being shown

60, 57.38, 56.07, 55.41, 55.08, 54.92, 54.84, 54.80, 54.78, 54.77, 54.66, 54.66....stuck again.

I'm offline now, sorry. See you tomorrow

my sample is short and i got the result after
CQMatic search only 3 times for final prediction.

well as i can see now, beta7 is giving me a LOWER cq then beta6

beta6 : 51,50
beta7 : 48,18

Your CQ should be no lower than 0.25 difference from previous
So if your last CQ was say 62.50 and your current is 62.74, your final CQ is 62.50
Does that difference match your predicted CQ values. It has to

found sth in tmpeg, the aspect ratio was another then in the test with beta6!

testing now with THE EXACT SAME settings like beta6...

perhaps this was the reason why my filesize was always much lower then i expected and wanted?

í´ll do a couple of tests now...

That's weird
It should have stopped after 55.08, 54.92 because Abs( 54.92 - 55.08 ) = 0.16 which is below 0.25 (the trigger point) and encode at 55.08
I'm encoding something now to verify this. Unless my Abs (Absolute value) is screwed up

-kwag

my result :

beta6: 51,50
beta7: 51,18

now EXACT same settings, so with another aspect ratio, i got a lower cq (perhaps the reason of my problem with my filesize?)

well, will take this cq now, and encode it as 16:9...
