of all the encoder-which one

[techreactor]

@Tech
I didn't think to look at the time and I deleted the logs. I am doing the second disc tomorrow it's about the same size and I will post the time and stuff then

Thanks BR7, time is a personal preference though.

[BR7]

I just did one that took 100 minutes Disc size was 6.69gb
Reduction Level for DVD-5: 66.5%
- Overall Bitrate : 6,598/5,279Kbs
- Space for Video : 3,971,120KB
- HIGH/LOW/TYPICAL Bitrates: 5,510/786/5,279 Kbs

Size in Gb is not the issue BR7. Measure in frames!

139606 frames in 100 minutes = 23 fps. Not bad. 78 minute movie in 100 minutes.

BTW: Remember to have convert to YUY2 on (options → AVS Options). This will be default in 1.10.8 (if it is not already).

From what I've seen (UncasMS's tests) the free ones very well. Sometimes matching. Though I still would like to buy it.

which "free ones" were you referring to, linx05?

I didn't know that was supposed to be left on I unchecked it. I will fix it now
Thanks blu

Sorry I should have stipulated. HC and AQE.

@BR7 - don't bother burning it then.

I am glad you said something I will have to redo it.Here is that second sopranos disc I said that I'd post

That's pretty snappy - 28 fps. What are you using hardware-wise?

Not at all sure how it will look at 2119 kbps. I mean with Procoder you got a great chance of it coming out well. But you might consider Half-D1. That's quicker, too

And allow me to correct something I said earlier. Since 1.10.7, DVD Rebuilder automatically converts to yuy2 for Procoder. You can check this by opening any AVS file in your d2vavs folder. Apologies.

It's my

Well, that is a good frame rate for that machine and that encoder at mastering quality. (I get 30 PAL frames per sec = 1.2 x real time).

The average BR is not going below 2K, I wonder how would the quality be, under 2K. BR7, I remember you having the King Kong disc .

[UncasMS]

king kong is not worth testing - too much CG in this flick

try other long titles such as "dances with wolves"

[BR7]

(I get 30 PAL frames per sec = 1.2 x real time).

Mine goes anywhere from 1.6x real time to .80x real time

The average BR is not going below 2K, I wonder how would the quality be, under 2K. BR7, I remember you having the King Kong disc .

This should satisfy you it's Sopranos S2D1

I also attached some screen shots

See you can immediately start seeing the stresses of the encoder now, I guess those will be more visible if High <= 2500 and Avg <= 1600.

Sop3 - see the steering and the airbag and the ear
Sop6- halos around the bar
Sop9- halos around the standing man

Although overall the quality is good. I would say its similar to what can be achieved +/- few Q factors with autoQmatenc.
