AutoQmat with DVD-RB

[techreactor]

So it can run fine without QmatOP ?

Yes it can, just finishing up my tests, will post results in few minutes.

That's good to know I just wasn't sure if it would mess with it in some way doing a full DVD because I just did a partial when I posted my stills

[techreactor]

I did some test with DVD-RB and AutoQmatenc, see results below:

Common configuration
Desktop: Pentium 4, 1.6 Ghz, 512 Mb RAM
Source time: 78 min
Source Size: 4.33 GB
Avisynth Version: 2.5.6a
AVSoptions: AVS = Lremovedust_YV12(17,1), MPEG2source(idct=7)
DVD-RB Free v0.96
Compression used :[/B] 99.5%
VirtualdubMod(to capture screen)
Irfanview(to join captures)


Test Case A

Tools Used:
AutoQmatEnc 032b
Mode : 2 Pass VBR, VBR Bias = 25, Quality Prec = 16
Encoded Size: 4.17 GB
Time taken : 153 min

Test Case B

Tools Used:
AutoQmatEnc 033b
Mode : OPV (w/analysis), VBR Bias = 25, Quality Prec = 16
Encoded Size: 4.22 GB
Time taken : 76 min

Now for the results:

All Captures are joined Horizontally as

Original Video<---+--->Test Case A Video<---+--->Test Case B Video













So now I let your eyes be your Judge on the quality with the two tests.

Although personally speaking there is very little difference between both test case Quality but a considerable time gain by using OPV. Quality Gain incomparison to the Original source is due to the AVS script also.

That is great thanks for taking the time to do this I think I am going to use AutoQmat from now on

[UncasMS]

are your problems solved then?

[BR7]

Well I couldn't get QmatOP going using CCEAQM=1. I wrote SAPSTAR to make sure I wasn't doing anything wrong but he hasn't got back to me yet

[BR7]

I just got an email back from SAPSTAR as tech stated CCEAQM=1 is to be used with DVD Rebuilder PRO.But QmatOP can work with DVD Rebuilder 0.96 here is what he wrote

In order to
use this feature you have to use a pro version DVDRB. Otherwise, you have to
PREPARE, then edit REBUILDER.ECL and replace
adjust_q_matrix=0 by adjust_q_matrix=1. (All occurences must be replaced)

Good, so thats the trick to make QmatOP work!!!!

What do you use to open the ECL? Do you use avisynth

[techreactor]

Use the 0.33.0.1 ver available from the Beta testing page, since the existing version has some bugs related to bitrate allocation and OPV doesnt work.

[techreactor]

What do you use to open the ECL?

I used Notepad to open it, its like a text file only but with a .ECL extention.

Thanks

That was a bit time consuming

[BR7]

Odd after doing all that it still dont work

[techreactor]

Thanks

Why ???, open the ECL file in Notepad press Ctrl+H (edit->replace), copy the "adjust_q_matrix=0" into the find tab and then put "adjust_q_matrix=1" in the replace tab. Press "Replace all" button. Takes 2 sec.

I noticed there are more than 1 ECL file and contain the same parameter, try replacing this in all of them.

There it works now thanks again techAnd a big thanks for the notepad tip that saved some time.I really hate being computer illiterate its embarrassing
