Hi !
I only have one problem at the moment :wink:
When I use CQMatic, it starts with a CQ value about 80 but ends up
with a CQ at 2 or 4, and then the encoder uses this CQ and it looks horrible.
I dont get it ?

What CQ value does CQMatic use???

Thanks, I'll fix that :wink:

Job.MPEG.Video.CQ_Quality = 2.23

:(

:oops: Sorry, I ment bitrate :oops:

I dont know if it is this you mean :

Job.MPEG.Video.MaxBitRate = 0
Job.MPEG.Video.MaxBitRate_ReadOnly = False
Job.MPEG.Video.MinBitRate = 0
Job.MPEG.Video.MinBitRate_ReadOnly = False
Job.MPEG.Video.MinAvgBitRate = 0
Job.MPEG.Video.MinAvgBitRate_ReadOnly = False
Job.MPEG.Video.CBR_BitRate = 1150000
Job.MPEG.Video.VBR_MultipassVBRAlgorithm = MPEGVideoEncoder_MultipassVBRAlgorithm_MultipassCQ
Job.MPEG.Video.VBR_AvgBitRate = 1150000
Job.MPEG.Video.VBR_MaxBitRate = 3000000
Job.MPEG.Video.VBR_MinBitRate = 300000
Job.MPEG.Video.VBR_MaxPassCount = 2
Job.MPEG.Video.VBR_Quality_P = 0
Job.MPEG.Video.VBR_Quality_B = 20
Job.MPEG.Video.VBR_EnablePadding = False
Job.MPEG.Video.MVBR_MaxBitRate = 3000000
Job.MPEG.Video.MVBR_MinBitRate = 0
Job.MPEG.Video.MVBR_Quality_P = 0
Job.MPEG.Video.MVBR_Quality_B = 20
Job.MPEG.Video.MVBR_EnablePadding = False
Job.MPEG.Video.AVBR_Quality = 50
Job.MPEG.Video.AVBR_MaxBitRate = 3000000
Job.MPEG.Video.AVBR_MinBitRate = 0
Job.MPEG.Video.AVBR_EnablePadding = False
Job.MPEG.Video.CQ_Quality = 2.23
Job.MPEG.Video.CQ_Quality_P = 0
Job.MPEG.Video.CQ_Quality_B = 20
Job.MPEG.Video.CQ_MaxBitRate = 2200000
Job.MPEG.Video.CQ_MinBitRate = 300000
Job.MPEG.Video.CQ_EnablePadding = True
Job.MPEG.Video.VBVBufferSize = 40960

I hope so :)

Azel, just tried the latest beta version, and it didnt work. :cry:

Got to tmpgenc, and stayed at the wizard window? very unusual..i was quite dissapointed, then got a messages from dvd2kvcd2 saying "Press ctrl+alt+del to unfreeze." ????

How can i get the old version back, the current one is not doing me any favours.

:x

Oh one other thing i forgot to mention, the bitrates of the latest d2k are still wrong, max. bitrate: 2000, max average bitrate: 2500.

Updated version :D

DVD2KVCD 2.0.7

-Small bug fixes
-New avisynth script: MA for 4:3 interlaced sources
-TMPGEnc project wizard problem

Nice one Azel, gonna test it now!!

thx

Hi Azel,

Still got probs with the latest 2.0.7 release.

Gets to CQMatic stage and says "Please check movie time and/or average" and when i click ok and got the error, this is not a text file.

But when i uncheck the new CQMatic, it encodes ok, but i would like to test with the new CQmatic parameters.

Also, bitrates are wrong and auto shut down is still there.

thx

Can you download latest version of DVD2KVCD 2.0.8, it should create a log. Goto DVD2SVCD's output path, and post DVD2KVCD_log.txt in this topic.

I only see 2.0.7 on 1st page...

This is an excellent plugin for DVD2SVCD but I have few problems with it.

1- When DVD is anamorphic MAscript adds black lines at top and bottom so when I watch it on widescreen TV it has black bars on top and bottom. Can this be corrected. I know DVD2SVCD has an option of not adding borders but MA script does not.

2- When I encode a movie in VCD(704x480) format, picture jerks(stops and then starts - not watchable at all) when I play it on my computer with WinDVD or my DVDplayer.

3- Lastly the picture quality is not good at all. I encoded several movies varying from 90min - 175min and tried several templates but for some reason picture quality was very bad. I saw lot of noise around images. This happened with MA script or if I use standard bicubic resize in the DVD2SVCD.

I use DVD2SVCD 1.2.1 build2, avisysnth 2.5 which came with DVD2SVCD and plugin DVD2KVCD 2.0.5 beta 3c.

Hopefully someone can help.

About Quality, see other threads you opened.

Hi Azel,

Same problem with the CQMatic, Says "Please check movie time and /or average.

I also tried by unchecking the CQmatic, and it encoded successfully, but when trying to burn, i got an error message saying "Wrong Parameters".

Where can i get the old versions? they were working fine, 2.0.4 or 5 i think.

Does this plugin only work with TMPGEnc?

@TheDJ: I can't help you before I got the DVD2KVCD_log.txt

@Spaceboy: Yes, the plugin is only for TMPGEnc. If you want to do a one pass encoding with CCE, try D2SRoBa. This is a very good and advanced plugin!

@Azel.....heres the log u requested which keeps failing....
