higher bitrate

What do you mean by that ?

I think its obvious that the more the resolution the more the bitrate will increase.

[hacker_on_fire]

it won't increase by itself. this is usually set depending on the desired file size and length of the movie e.g. 700mb for 1.5hr movie.

So when you increase resolution the bitrate is more spread out thus the reduced quality.

hacker_on_fire is right, the codec will not will not automatically increase the bitrate (unless you specify a filesize with gordian knot) but apart from that no. If you are encoding it manually then you yourself will have to increase the bitrate, but like i said if you are encoding it with gordian knot and say specify a filesize of 1.3gb then gordian knot will upp the bitrate to meet that filesize and therefore you will have better quality. But there is no way that you can have a bigger resolution and keep the same quality. You might be able to have something at say 512x288 and then up the resolution to say 704x384, it still might look great but it won't look as good as the 512x288 why?? because the codec does'nt have to do much of a job by spreading the bitrate around, whereas with the 704x384 the codec has more work on it's hands because the area is now larger than the 512x288.

Yeah, i got that eventually ,when increasing the filesize you are increasing the bitrate itself and also the resoltution you've set thus having more quality.IS That right.

[hacker_on_fire]

yep...that's right (in gordian know...it calculates the bitrate accrording to the desired file size)

OK then by the way i still haven't forgot the cropping thing.
I'll make it avalible as soon as possible.

Is there a way of checking my final bitrate before encoding?

Is 700 good for a 2hr movie.

[hacker_on_fire]

In gordian it's the the bitrate tab under 'average bitrate'.

"Is 700 good for a 2hr movie"

Depends on the movie. Look at the figure you get after the compressability test.

[zx50]

The compressibility test is a load of B******S, i encoded something at 512x288 and according to gordian knot the maximum i could have was 480x256. Yet the 512x288 was better than the 480.

[hacker_on_fire]

Its not ment to be perfect, just suppose to give you a close to accurate estimate....but its not worked this one time that dont make it rubbish.

[decryptit]

Gordian Knot not cropping.

[hacker_on_fire]

Thats not gordian knots preview window? it looks like you have played it in a player? I need to see Gknot's preview window.

btw, your suppose to click 'Autocrop' first and then smartcrop.

[decryptit]

Ok then of you don't believe that window i'll show you the whole
details.
