BTW: At all my last samples I did NOT add noise! just the script and their diff. resizers acording to final resolution!
Here now 480x576 at 1164CBR and again the better quantize value of 2! So its not FIX by this:"yes" the screwing on the CBR Bitrate does compensate a bit. But you have to screw a lot and thats risky. As you see Kwag I choosed the same quantizer as in case of 352x576 but had to lower the CBR to archive almost the same final size of these 1% at 480x576 compared to the 352x576 sample above. Final size on 1% is 6.464kbit (as I understood right Kwag, the VBV 20 below in the screen stand for a real double value like VBV40 in TmpgENc??) http://www.digitalfaq.com/archives/error.gif |
So, I got to get this straight: do we have to change both the min and max Quantizer to be the same value or can we have different values in the min and max settings??

I always have quantize max to 25 or even 30 and I ONLY change at the min quantizer from 2 to 3 depends on the final wanted filesize and resolution!
The max value in all my cases did cause nothing as the CBR encode refers to the min Quatize value. You can se that in the FFvfw Graph which you can open during encoding below right at your desctop left hand to the little watch! |

At my KDVD sample 704x576 where I set that high bitrate the Q Level was Linear, but in case of OneCD encodings it isn't as I lower the CBR Bitrate at least to get the right VBV.
Linear Q curve is luxury and means nothing, you just should keep the Q curve about 3 or better below. And thats only a numeral value, only your eyes will tell you the truth. DO open a TmpgENc CQ encoding and there also even at high CQ Values the Q curve won't be linear. On the other hand as I said that often: Bitrateviewer and also its Q curve is not a garant for real viewable quality! Let me quote KIKA from his GOP DCT/ Matrix Guide: Quote:
Means: If You encode crap and after reassembling the stream when the player again uses the matrix to descramble and the SAME crap comes out, the result is a 1:1 copy of that crap = "....could mean a result of a perfect interaction of quantization and RLE coding" and means a good Q value in Bitrateviewer. (If I understood KIKA in his guide right) |
But do you gain anything by not keeping the same min and max values?
|
These are my first encodings on CBR mode in ffvfw and so as I said I do not recommend anything ;-) It was just set and I did let it run and as my logic told me that only the min value of quantize makes sense to modify (I figured that out in the ffvfw graph!), so now that was it what I actually did ;-)

Ok, thanks.
I guess more testing will be done, I don't think we're finished yet :D Anerboda |
We just just figured out "how to drive that car" but we still don't now which type of gas is the best and how fast it could drive then! :D :lol:

I'm trying to find a way to encode with 9 bits precision, but that's probably impossible at this moment :) -kwag |

Next Step a full action flashing long Movie at 480x576
"The Core" 130mins!, ... very hard to get good result: Min Quantizers I=3, P=3, B=4, 84 Frames within a GOP! CBR 1165, 1B Frame (yes it decreased filesize), noise added via ffvfw. And a little extra Unfilter(-8,-8 ) below the MA Command in my script. ... that little unsharpen the movie does make wonder according to an acceptable quantisation on THAT kind of movie. Merge/Chroma/Luma Blur would do it also but I don't had that command now in mind and I was just too lazy to look in the orig MA ;-)))) 8O We're still at mpeg2 one CDencoding ;-) 690kbit AVG Bitrate!! Look at the Q curve, it seems the encoder after some Frames does get calm ;-) http://www.digitalfaq.com/archives/i...2004/02/19.jpg |
I'm starting to be lost in posts :)
Two questions to Incredible: 1st few post ago by Dialhot Quote:

I've done 3 screenshots.
Some details: DVB-Capture mpeg2, small adapted MA-script, q=4 (all). 1 min. equals 18.283 KB. Bitrate Pic1 Pic2 In the last picture on the top right corner you can see some blocks. However, TMPGEnc's image is alot worse :roll: EDIT: The screenshots above had SADT, adaptive 3. The following is done with "normal" settings: Pic3 EDIT2: Converted image links to normal links to clean up thread. |
CAN ANYONE TELL ME WHY ME Q CURVE ISN'T CONSTANT :?: :?:
Krassi have a perfect line, Inc have a "near constant" curve and mine is like the yellow line of Krassi snapshot ! Whatever the settings I put (I even set to 100% all the paremeters in Rate control and put "0" for "Max Quantizer difference" This sucks ! :-( Note: Inc and all, still snapshots are worthless. They only permit to see if there is macro blocks default. But all other defaults have a temporal aspect (dancing block, ants, mosquitos). What are we doing there ? Photo or video ? You can have perfect (or awfull) stills but awfull (or good) video. The last sample of Kwag is a perfect example of what I want to say. I'm sorry to say that but it was very bad ! (see my post in the other thread talking about ffvfw). |

Sorry to say but I have the same problem that Phil has about the Q curve not being constant. Mine is looking like krassi's yellow one too... Anyway I am having very good encoding results with ffvfw's settings posted on the other thread, apart from this Q curve prob. Has anyone noticed that speed decreased since we changed to constant bitrate? Maybe not much on some PCs but I went from 17 hours encoding to 22 hours encoding a 115 minutes movie. Yep my pc is needing new brains :oops: I'll be seeing u guys tonight. |
