Bitrates: CQmatic Suggestion Box - Page 3

Hi totonho03,

The aspect is not related at all to CQMatic. You set that manually on TMPEG, or AviSynth (GripFit) does it for you.

And you are using an old version of CQMatic

Get version 1.01

That log area is pretty tiny and after a few sample runs the scroll list gets pretty long. I'd really like to use more screen real estate.

Thanks for all the hard work!!

For version 2, which will integrate the bitrate calculator, I'll widen the log window

Gracias

@ Kwag..

Hi,

I'm back from work (finally) and I'l give your latest update a go w/
my previous issue. I see you've already made some changes - good.

Can't wait to see what happens

My only issue that I fear, is the one about the same spot where it encodes.
its always the same - and always the same 258 frames (no less, no higher)
just 258 every time!

I'll try both TMPG v2.53 and v2.56 for starters..

Well, let me get tested on it.

See you all in a bit,
-vhelp

@ Kwag..

Ahhh... Alast!!

Something IS working..

* TMPG v2.56
* Movie: "Dogma"
* First pass, 18 frames

-- probably you new quick-nip!!
* 2nd pass, 3072 frames are being encoded !! Yeah !!

.
.
* so far, over 10 minutes -- Ques: is that normal ?? (AMD XP 1700+ pc)

So far, NO MORE ISSUES w/ repeating of those 258 frames !!

So, all in all, so far, so good

Keep up the good work (as usual)

Yes, Please add a PASS counter somewhere's on the CQM's window,
.. maybe on the Caption bar ?

Just so long as I can:
* s

it,
* and know where I am in CQM of things !
...yes, I walk away a lot, or answer/post responses on this forum and
...others too. I tend to forget where I am in CQM and just want to view
...it at a glance (w/out having to click and drag things)

...yes, this drives me madd hehe..

Oh, and also add [clear] button, to clear the listbox contents, if I'm gonna
start a new project, rather than having to close down CQM and restarting
to a new LOG window.

Tanx!!

Done

Will post version 1.1.01 official release in a while, after I finish a current prediction test.
I'm double (triple!) testing/checking that CQ never jumps above or below the fence

You don't

Just load any project file you have around, and it will clear it

Remember, it's not CQMatic that does that. It's TMPEG, which remembers the last "state" it was in

So when you do prediction only, and TMPEG exits, the next time you run TMPEG, it will read from the registry whatever the last run was. In this case, the last prediction, which is set with the prediction time slices

I moved this response from the bug report thread to this suggestion one:

Here's an idea. How about once encoding or prediction is done, cqmatic quits tmpgenc. Then it reloads it and opens the project file inputted to cqmatic, then quits tmpgenc again. This will clear all source range settings for next time! The only thing you miss is elapsed time for encoding that tmpgenc displays. But since cqmatic already logs system time and such, plus already displays total prediction time, why not put something at the end of the log displaying total encoding time?

Can't do it, because it would start to encode again, and overwrite your encoded file

I can't start TMPEG via command line, tell it to load a project, and just quit. It would start to encode the project immediately.

Will you ever add batch encode???

Maybe

But only when I am happy with consistent prediction results. Then I'll grow it

Accuracy is priority #1

We want a Batch Mode

rendalunit · #52 08-10-2003, 02:56 PM

Could you implement an option for CQMatic to deal with the cq as whole numbers only

Pleeeeeeez

To run predictions for cq 79.3321 and 79.3322 seems like an incredible waste of time- just encode at 79

If there's no visual quality difference between 90 and 100 how can there possibly be any difference between 90 and 89.9999? Ok I can see wanting to go into the tenth place but not 100th

kwag · #53 08-10-2003, 03:13 PM

Hi ren,

Yes you're right

But one tenth of CQ does make a difference, so I will change the CQ values to one decimal point, instead of four

That should calculate in final CQ maybe one iteration less

-kwag

kwag · #54 08-10-2003, 03:54 PM

@All,
Give it a try, and let me know

http://www.kvcd.net/CQMatic-1.1.08.exe
Only changes are that CQ only has one decimal place. So you'll see things like 60.1, 75.2, but no 78.1234, 65.0123, etc., on the Current CQ being used to encode.

Man I can't keep up with you

1.1.07 was taking a bit longer to predict. Just cancelled prediction and restarted with 1.1.08

jorel · #56 08-10-2003, 05:01 PM

thanks GOD for Kwag, friendal and everybody here...
you're so wise.....(no kidding)

thanks for me too cos i'm proud of this team and i'm here...
every new day,new ideas....and cool ideas.

testing 1108!

ps:
this is what i feel when i read the friendal observations:

hay, wait a minute audi2honda..

I just got finished w/ TWO "predicts" w/ v1.1.07 and I was amazed at how
much faster it was w/ a complete "predict" of:

* Movie: "Dogma"
* Length: 128 min
* bitrate: 741
* MIN: 423

See post here, for further details..

* Testing CQMatic Versions

kwag · #58 08-10-2003, 05:17 PM

Well, something screwy is going on with 1.1.08

Apparently, the one digit precision is rounding, and I just canceled a prediction which was over 20 loops

I've re-uploaded it as version 1.1.08a, so you can test it. Hopefully, this will fix it. It changes precision to two decimal places, instead of one.
Internally, I use full floating point comparison, so apparently the rounding to one decimal place screwed the computations.
Try this: http://www.kvcd.net/CQMatic-1.1.08a.exe
If this doesn't correct the problem, then 1.1.07 is still the latest, until I can find out why the math rounding error is causing this.

thanks kwag! You da man!

hey jorel, I'm not sure which finger he's putting up -->

<-- but sorry if I made you mad

(just kidding)

kwag · #60 08-10-2003, 05:26 PM

Please re-download 1.1.08a.
Previous upload was only sending 1 decimal digit to TMPEG
