CQ Matic

What does it do? i d/led it as a guide said to use it as it will tell me if what i am encoding will fit on a cd. How do i use it?

i dont get the numbers it gives out, like where do i find the size?

Did you follow this guide: http://www.rj-elektronik.de/avalon/G...qmatic_eng.htm which explains everything step by step :?:

I dont understand any of the info that CQMatic spits oout when you do the Prediction. I read in a KVCD guide that this proggy will give me the size of the file so you know if you can fit it on a CD and if not you lower the CQ.

Normaly CQMatic only gives you the right CQ. If You enter this in the settings in TMPGEnc it will encode Your movie with this tested one. Hopefully You'll get the right filesize.

@kwag: My friend OBK has troubles with CQM.

So CQMatic looks after every Prediction-cycle after the "x.m1v.sample" (which doesn't exist), and gives you a File-Size-Difference of "-x" and a Final-CQ of ~90! But after Prediction the sample file exists and is correct, but is called "x.m1v"! So the question is: 'Why is TMPGEnc encoding with the normal ending instead of .sample '

OBK

He wrote me many times in german what he things. So now he ask and ask me about Your program... and I don't know the answer. Can You help him?

He used 1.1.11 of CQM.

CQMatic never looks at (or uses! ) the "x.m1v.sample" file.
That is the file that is "renamed" from the "x.m1v", after prediction is done. So you have a sample left on your drive, to verify what the quality of your full encode will look like.

That is it! Why I don't thought about it by my self! :wink:

OK! I didn't know this :roll: ! But if the Prediction fails with a CQ of ~90 the sample-file isn't renamed! I don't know why!
