now is "my time"
a few days ago i needed the final size with 290mb cos
i divide the movie in 3 parts.
the full time of the movie is 88 minutes 46 seconds.
the first part have 31 minutes and 22 seconds.
i don't got the perfect CQ to my 290mb target
and i use some differents CQs to test.
first was CQ60...247mb,too short.
CQ65.....303mb,too big.
CQ64.....297mb,too big too.

then i encode using CQ63,20 and got 287mb final size.
and i think:

the perfect CQ is between 63,3 to 63,5 for 290mb target!
it was before Kwag start to develop CQMatic.
i try all versions and sometimes the CQ was too big or too short.
a big history,don't?
now the results using CQMatic 1106:
i did the project again....
min 300, max 2500, same source, same script....everything equal
result of my first prediction with CQMatic 1106 and
i send in pm to Kwag this first test,he have this full log(inbox)
i don't have no more...:

CQ 63,54
then i think:
what?
perfect!
BUT, to remove doubts i did ALL again cos my movie is 29,97 ntsc:
new project, min 300, max 2500, same source, same script,
reboot the system....everything again.

see the log:
