Apparently Blockbuster is very effective with ffvfw, and as we already know, that's not the case with TMPEG in CQ mode. But still, it would be nice it ffvfw is further optimized for better quality on low dim areas, because you can clearly see the dancing blocks laughing at you most of the time :mrgreen: -kwag |
Yep, Indeed you have to rise sometimes the "variance" parameter cause that fine spray means high frequencies which will be "cut" by the Notch which does exactly perform more quantization on high frequencies and if Notch and ffvfw "get in touch" that means a lot of quantization mostly on plain parts ... by this the edges wont get that "gibbs" effect 8)

Kwag, you told that you remove the K-notch matrix for a while. Can you tell me what would be the expected size of the whole movie you encoded in such conditions ?
(I can't open the sample at my office and check its lenght :-)) An other way to ask the same thing : is the encoder still abble to put 3 movie on a DVD without the matrix ? |
You mean anamorphic or non-anamorphic?

My suggestion for example to Jell was to drop the notch in case if the final filesize isn't big enough ;-) But he tried to fit 2 Movies on one DVD-R. But thats also the nice thing that mpeg2 ffvfw supports diff. Qant.Matrixes. Or what's your purpose Phil? |
:?: Which settings (if any) need to be changed in ffvfw to produce anamorphic? (Two movies per DVD are enough for me).
Thanks, guys, NickSteel |
You need to set AR to 16:9 in the "Output" tab. Avisynth will do the rest for you. Just make sure you check anamorphic box in MovieStacker/fitCD.

Thanks, Jellygoose. That's what I thought.

... I don't exactly know what does this mean ( :oops: ), but he said he'll revise this issue later. Cheers |

"If you notice, I've turned OFF "Custom quantization tables", because KVCD's notch matrix just cuts off too many frequencies with this encoder. I'll revise that some other day, when I get to talk with Milan. " I guess that he wanted to say that the quality with the matrix was too bad. But he didn't tell anything about the size of the final encoding without the matrix. My purpose isn't to put 3 movies on the disc (acutally I do 2-movie KDVD ;-)). I just want to know if the encoder still has the same efficiency without the matrix that it had with it ! Because an encoder that do better that TMPGENC but can fit only one movie on a DVD, we can find it easly ! Else, the only advantage of ffvfw will be it is free (and CCE is not, for instance). |
Hmmm even with mode set to CBR I can't seem to adjust the filesize the way kwag described it. Altering Max. Quantizer difference doesn't change the filesize at all for me. :x
Any other opinions? :roll: |

However, if you don't have an HDTV, ffvfw with the notch matrix looks just great. Even on my HDTV, I can see some slight DCT blocks when I used the notch matrix with ffvfw, but because I had encoded with noise, the picture is really very pleasing. So on regular TVs, even large ones, this won't be seen, and you should see an excelent picture. Quote:
I don't think so. The milage should be about 4 hours without the KVCD notch matrix. With the notch matrix, expect ~7 hours ;) -kwag |

It's very acceptable, but not as good as CCE :) Quote:
About half the space as a CCE encode, but not half as bad in quality :mrgreen: It's actually very good quality, but for some purists, it may not be :D Quote:

In other words : "Cuts off to many..." means what on my screen, visually speaking ? (I guess is like when you push too far the DCT filter in avisynth, but I want to be sure). |
I still cannot change the filesize of my samples at all, except by lowering the Bitrate in CBR. How do you do it kwag? :roll:

You'll have to do some short clip tests by yourself, with and without the matrix, to compare quality and file sizes. Quote:
But the best trade off right now, will be using the notch matrix with some noise (Blockbuster?) added, so your file size will increase but still be well below the size as if you had used the internal matrix without noise. I believe that's the perfect blend, for the moment, for using this CODEC. Maybe in the future, when the CODEC is further optimized, we can start to drop blockbuster noise, and do less filtering :) -kwag |

As a matter of fact, I'm looking at that just right now, and it seems that the CBR value is actually sort of an "Average Bitrate" control :!: Because after you encode some footage, at least on my case, the resulting average bitrate is close to the value I set on the CBR slider, even though the MAX bitrates still peak above 3,000Kbps (possibly because I have the MIN Q set to 2 ) So it's a combination of MIN Q and CBR value, to get what you want :!: -kwag |
