I'm quite pleased with the encoding results when using Procoder2, but one thing Ive noticed is that the high/low/typical bitrate value shown in rebuilder after prepare phase is not accurate. Anyway, for instance, if the typical bitrate is calculated to 3.500kbps, procoder wont encode higher than 2000kbps,that goes for high/low values too, they're quite under limit. I tried changing the encoder (used HCenc) on the same movie, the overall bitrate of the movie fits more to the rebuilder prediction(I got this case on every movie).I dont know if this is "under control" by eclPro, sending wrong bitrate values to procoder, or the encoder 'corrects' the values by itself.Whats your opinion on this?

works fine for me
maybe you should contact canopus

i never checked my result movie,if i correctly understood your "case",the result movie bitrate is lower than the one rebuilder "predicted"?Comment

exactly. i've downloaded the latest version of eclPro, doing another encoding right now to compare the results.keep you informedComment

Sounds like your settings aren't quite right. You on mastering quality? How many passes? Make sure your matrix is encoder default.

the matrix doesnt matter with procoder - it wont be usedComment

Ok, I got more accurate results with the latest version of eclPro, don't know if the version or some setting parameter was involved in this,but the encodes done with procoder and hc are quite similar now, like procoder has lower average bitrate by 100kbs, and the Q factor is also lower by 0.5-0.8 than HC , so I guess HC looses more detail than procoder?Well, it might just be the HC VBR Bias setting too, changing it to higher values would raise the Q level...
cheers

oops, i ment LOWERING the Q level

where can i get a never eclpro?i took a look at the results this morning,rebuilder announced 4178 kbps,and i checked it in video calc,but when i turned on my powerdvd and displyed info during play,i got rare that bitrate jumps over 4mbps....Comment

the latest version can be found here:

If you still got your bitrate lower than predicted, check the Alwaysframe value in eclpro.ini and set it to 1, that means using a frame based encoding. If the value is 0, then field based encoding is enabled, which is stated as 'better' in the readme file of eclPro (that is for interlaced sources).IMHO it only does compatibility problems, video freezes in powerDVD when u play it on higher speeds, like 8x or above, bitrate values might be shown lower than expected, etc. Maybe this is not an issue in the latest eclpro version (1.0)Comment
