I encode now some movies with CCE 2.67.00.11 and I got in CQ 37 in the resolution 704x576 with min.Bit: 300 max.Bit. 5000 with AC3 224 5.1 Dolby with Movies with about 90 Min in Ratio 2.35:1 always ca. 1000 MB inkl. AC3 ...

So I do 4 Movies on a DVD ...

I think CCE is now working!

BTW: CCE ist much faster than TMPGEnc and the Quality is even better. For a 90 Min Movie in 2.35:1 with my P4 2.4 Ghz it takes only 2 Hours per movie to encode it !!!!

And it is also paying. A not a little...

After all these post on Divx (used only for personnal hollidays movies, for sure ), now you want more support on a product that cost a lot.

I'm not sure all this turn into a good way...

Only my 2 cents.

That's true, but only on MPEG-2 is the quality "a little" better than TMPEG.
On MPEG-1, TMPEG just blows CCE away, an that's a fact.

But now that I think about it, CCE is a very expensive product, so maybe I should make CQMatic for CCE another product, and also a pay product

I don't see a lot of difference in quality in MPEG2 CCE comparing to TMPGEnc, for me quality of them is about the same. But CCE is about 3/4 times faster in my system.
About the price of CCE, they now have CCE basic which costs only $58. The problem with CCE Basic is: it doesn't accept custom matrixes (CCE Patcher also can't be used for that) and it don't have 1-pass VBR (just 2-pass). So if there might be any CQMatic for CCE, it will have to be CCE SP...
But please keep CQMatic for CCE free, Kwag!

Hmmm.. , well, let's see: CCE SP costs $1,750.00
Maybe CQMatic for CCE SP ~$49.99 is a fair deal
But only if it's solid as a rock, and works flawlessly
I mean, if someone buys CCE SP, then $49.95 is peanuts. Specially to produce great quality, automatically in a single pass.
I know I wouldn't but CQMatic for CCE, because I don't have $1,750.00 to spend, specially if I can get almost the same results (MPEG-2) with TMPEG.
Personally, I think CCE is WAY over priced, and TMPEG is under priced.
But I believe that if I ( or anyone! ) is going to add value to a $1,750.00 product, hell, I'm going to make something out of it too
Why should CCE benefit from a "value add-on" product, and not the third party

I don't think the speed difference is that much if you are doing Motion Estimate Search which I thought we were all using now for the MA script?

That's true
I think it's about the same, so CCE's advantage over TMPGEnc is now near zero

A few months ago I compared motion fast estimate to CCE multipass in DVD2SVCD using the same MA script from this site and I saw zero difference in quality between the two.

I even took still frames and looked at them 200% and still saw no difference....i'm stickin with TMPGEnc as long as I'm using this great script kwag has developed

Hi everyone,

Just to add stupdity to all this..

FWIW, I've ben using High quality (slow) in my encodes

So, perhaps I can obtain some add'l speed increases after all hehe ??

And, do I have to run ALL my tests again ?? ?? ??

@vhelp,

Change your setting in TMPEG to Motion Estimate.
You'll get faster encodes and better quality

Tanx Kwagowsky..

doing it now.. won't know difference or quality results, till I try
it out sooner or later..

..write now, I'm buisy formulating w/ VCALC, I think I'm close to nailing
what/how fitCD / MStaker 's formulas for Ave bitrate and things.. so, stay
tuned.. ..Course, others can chip in if they know

Can't wait to give ME a try (not win ME, dah)

Be well, all..
