I'm on it !

I've finished the test. I used 8000 for max bitrate and 300 for min bitrate (in TMPGEnc) and I can't really see any difference between the two encodings...

BUT - The encoding time was VERY different . In the time TMPGEnc took to encode I could probably have done about 1/3 of the whole movie with PackShot (MEncoder) ! And the sample was only about 2 minutes long .

wow sounds great im thinkin bout buying it
thanx for all the info guys keep up the good work :P

i have no any "readavs plugin" after installatuin of XPress. I found no "readavs plugin" at TMPGenc site (http://www.pegasys-inc.com/)
There i can get it?

The directory contains only such files: DShowReader.vfp DShowReaderCD.vfp DShowReaderLD.vfp DShowReaderMD.vfp DShowReaderSD.vfp AAEmp2.vme AAEResample.vme NoiseReduction.vme Qt.vme Resize.vme VFAPI.vme wm9.vme
Is "readavs plugin" one of it? So how to force activate it?

See bottom of the page.

Thank you very much!!!
Now i can test Xpress too!!!

only yesterday i install the new tmpgenc.
when i (try to) run the prog i got:
read error ocour....'lameacm.acm'...bla bla bla.
and the program close...
then i change the lameacm.acm for another but got the same error.
what i do please?
help me.

use mencoder ?

this is my dream Phil but MencoderMe,DIKO and PackShot are not working on my system..i'm installing XP over 2K to see "what happen".

I think pegasys built in some avisynth filters. Or something like that you can specify which parts of the movie to filer more with the ghost reduction filter I'm gonna see if this really makes better skvcds than mencoder does I don't think that is possible because 2,58 came nowhere near.

EDIT: It's alot slower than mencoder

I made a jpeg and tried to use the same frames but the avi mencoder and tmpegenc al had different frames (tmpegenc directly encodes your audio and muxes your movie but it doesn't playback correct on my computer ) the tekst on the jpg is dutch the one on the top is the source in the middle tmpegenc3 and the one on the bottom mencoder


so the tmpegencode time is 18:54 with muxing and audio encoding and the 9:14 mencoder encode is not with audio encoding and muxing

I demuxed the tmpegenc3 sample muxed it with mplex and now it works perfectly

I don't know how you did your samples but you should change that : you are losing all details

its an xvid source it just can't give the same quality as dvd source. The tmpegenc3 sample was without filters The bitrates aren't that high either but still to high for a ksvcd

Without any filters, not even internals ?
The fact that the source is an xvid doesn't matter ! I'm not talking about non existant details but about lost details during the compression. The lost is the same whatever the source you have. For sure, the less you have details in the source, the less you will have in the target (that's logical) but here you HAVE details in the source and you don4t have them anymore after that.

I'm damn sure that my v4 script won't lose that much details with tmpeg 2.520. Can you try it, just to compare ?

I'll try that tomorrow. But mpeg2 never gave me good results at that bitrate :P

Oke I was wrong But mencoder still gives the best quality
Tmpegenc 2,5 with dialhots v4 script.

Let imagine what can be done with mencoder AND my script

Is it good on DVD source aswel? Im testing with kwags new script now and its fast

For DVD it's better to use this one. Mine is more for over compressed sources like Divx.

Well thanks I'll use it next time I encode an xvid
