File size after CCE less than it should be.

[hoffy]

Ok. I've ripped with DIF4U, ran Reauthorist to get the recommended bitrate, launched BatchCCEWS and imported the file list. When CCE finishes I'm left with an MPV file much less than it should be. File should be around 4Gb but ends up 2.3Gb. It was 87 minutes of movie, encoded at 6922Kbps.
Every check I've done said it should be right. I'm outta ideas.
Please help...

Have you checked the bitrate in Bitrate viewer?

Can't say I have. Not in that particular program. Have tried another bitrate calculator which confirms the bitrate I am using.

Since that post, I have been bypassing BatchCCEWS and loading the Ecl directly into CCE and getting the correct final file size. Looks as though I have a problem with BatchCCEWS but as yet I haven't figured out just what it is. Does the exact same on all different movies.

Thanks for the help anyway.

You seem to have misundertood my point.

Bitrate viewer is used to check the bitrate of the actual output file not calculate it's bitrate.

The reason I suggested it was so you could check to see what bitrate had actually been used to encode the file and therefore find out the reason why your file was smaller than predicted.

Now I got ya. That's something I hadn't thought of.
Thankyou.
