Hi,

(Sorry for mi english, i'm spanish)

I don't know how to configure ympeg codec or it ins't better than TMPGEnc.
I've tested ympeg with the MA avisynth script (352x576) for 1 minute of the film '2 fast 2 fuorius' (trim function of avisynth for minute 20 to 21) and i've do the same with TMPGEnc CQ70 calculated with CQMatic with avg of 950Kbps.
I've saved the video with VirtualDub using YMPEG codec selecting:
MPEG1, PAL, KVCD, VBR Min:300000 avg:950000 Max:2300000 and Best quality, but the result is bad. The codification time is only a 5 secons minor than with TMPGEnc and then quality is worst, a lot of macroblocks.
Kwag say that the quality of this codec is better than TMPEG and CCE put all together. What is the problem? Why mi test is bad?

No se como configurar el codec YMPEG or no es mejor que el TMPGEnc.
He testeado YMPEG con el script avisynth MA (res:352x576) para 1 minuto de la pelicula '2 fast 2 furious (A todo Gas 2)' (funcion trim del avisynth desde el minuto 20 al 21), he hecho lo mismo con el TMPGEnc con un CQ70 calculado con CQMatic para un average de 950Kbps.
He salvado el video con el VirtualDub usando el codec YMPEG seleccionado: MPEG1, PAL, KVCD, VBR Min:300000 avg:950000 Max:2300000 and Best quality, pero el resultado es malo.
El proceso de codificacion ha sido solamente 5 mas rapido que con el TMPGEnc y la calidad pero, con muchos macrobloques.
Kwag comenta que la calidad de este codec es mejor que el TMPGEnc y el CCE juntos. ¿Cual es el problema? ¿Por que mi test es malo?

Thanks,

Bye!

Only on high bitrates, for making DVD material. Don't check "KVCD"
It doesn't work correctly Because you checked the "KVCD" option. The problem is that YMPEG is a very ALPHA version
It's not ready for prime time

Hi,

( hi sasker! )

Do you mean that with ympeg, the kvcd quality is worst than with standard matrice?!

Yes, my W2k already said me that a couple of time!

Fabrice

Yep
If you select "KVCD", it looks worse than with the standard matrix.
Unless YMPEG does something else when you check that option, other than selecting the matrix
I don't know because there's no documents yet, and not even a history on YMPEG changes

So where's Yusuf???

(I don't know if already a solution has been found refering to that the Ympeg codec is not shown at the codecs list in VirtualVCR. (As Virtual VCR seems to be supported as mentioned at his site).
So I wanted do test this codec to capture with.

Hi all,

This YMPEG is very promissing! I read this whole thread and read that KVCD is not working great yet.

I was wondering. What is the best way with YMPEG to convert my AVI movie to an (s)kvcd using YMPEG and VDUB and Calcumatic?

The demo is fully functional, and MPEG-1 encoding is free, but MPEG-2 will only work for a limited time, unless you purchase the product.
Just thought people would like to know, that once again, this is another commercial product which integrates the KVCD "Notch" matrix
(Thanks (again!) Yusuf )

Seeing as it is a commercial product using your matrix Karl will they pay you royalties like I think they should or do you just get credited for the KVCD matrix?

I already talked to Yusuf via E-Mail a long time ago, and everything is fine
Basically, it's credits to us, but we are the ones that authorize WHO can use it
They still have to pay royalties to the MPEG-LA (for MPEG-2), and there's no way around that.

Oh I see thanks for clearing that up Karl I was just interested how things are worked out in these matters.
