Trying now the same movie, the same script but 1-pass. Let's see what comes out. :wink:

Phil, did you test the commandline I did send to you via PN a while ago for testing? Its very simple and fast (no Trellis etc.).
Using that one I do get much less Quantisation peaks and very well plain/dark surfaces. Less Quantisation then CCE and even mooore less quantisation then TmpgEnc .... MCE not mention about it! :lol: Compared to QuEnc well ... Im not happy with QuEnc ... some days ago I did a high avg bitrate test (3500 avg) and mencoder via commandline resulted better .... but that should be a parameter thing which could be easely included in QuEnc by Nic. But Be aware that there are some mencoder/windows builds that do output more worse files than other builds! Do look at the doom9 thread. Shure, menocder does output some pts or so errors, but after a simple "restream" Timestamps correcting, EVERYTHING works well in my standalone, even if I do encode interlaced material as progressive! After using restream and the header patch to TFF and "interlaced" ... no probs! 8) |

Edit: @INC No I didn't. In fact I didn't had any time for. I'm testing MCE because I gave my words to Procoder but this is again on my sleeping time :-( |
Are there any difference in quality between 1 pass & 2 pass encodings? I did a small sample right now and thought I saw a little less blocks in the 2 pass encoding but I'm not quite sure :roll: . Anyone else that have been doing comparisons between 1 pass & 2 pass encoding :?:
EDIT Correction: I must be really tired and my eyes are playing trick on me. I DON'T see a quality difference between the two methods... :banghead: |

Maybe Inc's comment about processing the .m2v with restream, is the ticket to the correction :) -kwag |

There is NO difference :cool: -kwag |
Is ReStream a stand alone program or is it integrated in any program package? Anyways, download locations :?:
(Off-topic @kwag Don't you use Skype anymore? I never see you online :( ) EDIT: I found ReStream here: http://www.sysh.net/restream.html |
Do I need to change any setting within ReStream when correcting the video file or do I just open the file and press write?

Alright, tested QuEnc 0.45 once again, this time, same settings but 1-pass... FileSize came about 7% lower than wanted.
I can almost live with that but: I get bitrate peaks of 9800 kb/sec which is way too much for my taste. The strange thing about this is: it only happens at the beginning after ~1 minute of play-time, after that the Q-Curve stabilizes and also the bitrate curve. Before that, it's like a rollercoaster... :roll: |

Because you're right Jelly, that is a BIG problem. But as Marcellus explained above, this is probably due to 1-pass mode. During second pass the logic wants that the encoder "smoothes" The Q curve. |

Because I do some encodings on a daily basis with same character sources I made up my mind on some settings that work for me every day (352x288, PAL,~730 kbps, Seinfeld series, black border of 16 pixels). My ffvfw ratecontrol settings are (GOP size: 15, 2 B frames): -Filesize tolerance: 4096 (default 1024) -Quantizer compression: 1 (default 0.5) -actually 1 means 100% -One/First pass quantizer blur: 1 (default 0.5) -Max quantizer difference: 31 (default 3) -Use countinous function to limit quantizers within q min/ q max: checked With those settings the begining is no more so problematic and the q line is stable for long segments, the "rollercoaster" thing is almost never seen. The q line stays (for the source I mentioned) between 2.5 and 3.5. The settings worked well even for 120 - 180 mins movies on one CD but I already mentioned in the post above what problem I had with a particular movie. So, untill I have with QuEnc the same freedom as with ffvfw, it will not be "my encoder". Quote:

@ Kwag
Restream is like a "massage" to the encode afterwards :lol: @ tickey It does not count what gives more speed, quality is our way, but ..... I NEVER use trellis and with or without trellis in QuEnc ... I do get better outputs via mencoder even no trellis is activated. But .... as always .. that could be a build issue??? Ok, I got the latest QuEnc, and Mencoder is from Marcellus MencoderGUI site (It was marcellus or not :oops: ?) |
Quote:
Of course not!! Try again, I didn't touch Mencoder encoding, much less building or hosting... :? I'm just a simple user... :D 8) |
:)
It was Amenophis !!!! :oops: |
