frameserving problems

[Enchanter]

I don't rip my episodes into 50MB files, as I have always preferred HQ rips. What sort of setting do you mean? The bitrate will be around 250-350 definitely and audio has to be at a lower bitrate (56 or 64kbps). However, in the case of LQ rips, I usually use 4.12 codec instead. It seems to me that this codec can handle low bitrate more comfortably, though I won't say by much.

What sort of settings do you use anyway?

As I said my settings i think are a bit crazy
it is as follows
Nandub
3.11
bitrate 400 keyframe interval 1 sec
minimum allowed bitrate 0 in ternal SCD 100 Space Kf 24
antifreeze
motion based curve modulation 0%
symetric 20%
high pass 0
Low pass 400
bias
smoother 1%
span 8 frames
sensitivity 3 blocks
motion based DLL switch (full cranked to the right 300)
crispness modulation 30%
playback delay 45 sec
Gauge min 30% start 35% max 35%
hacks KFboost 2% freeze 0%
compression levels DRF min 2 max 8( other defaults)
thats about all

I see a few things worth changing and do actually need to changed:
1. Keyframe interval: set to a higher value, preferably 9999 seconds. Let nandub choose where to put keyframes.
2. Min allowed bitrate: Not so important here, but I would put at least 100 here. The same goes for High-pass.
3. Max gauge: 70-80%
4. Low-pass: Just use the default 6000. Your current setting won't allow nandub to go beyond 400 and that's probably why your fast-motion scenes look like shit.
5. Payback delay: I tend to use the maximum of 120 seconds, which is an even better idea with your low-bitrate condition.
6. The rest: The default settings look fine.

thanx man i wil try that
would those changes
make significant changes?
and should i consider using VBR Mp3
than CBR?

[Enchanter]

Those values will give significant changes, so much that you will probably have to lower your bitrate to 250-350.

[shion]

significant changes?
is that in quality (incerase)
and size (increase)
i think you mean both goin up significanlty
but that would still give me around 50- 60 wont it?

[Enchanter]

There will be an increase in filesize (expected normally) and in quality (significantly, I'm sure), though you will have to use a lower bitrate to stay within the 50MB boundary.

i dont really mind if it even goes into the 60-70 mb boundary
around 9-10 epsiodes a CD is good enough so i can
fit on the 3rd disc 6 episodes and the movie

[Enchanter]

Sounds good. Experiment around with the settings until you find which suits your needs. Good luck.

hey we have gone 2 da 3rd page
what kind of anime have you encoded?

[shion]

enchanter do u know how to
add a picture at the front of an anime?
(and keep it there for a few seconds)

[Enchanter]

I got what you mean. Hmm...I was thinking of asking that to one anime encoder, but I haven't got the chance yet. I would guess that you need to make that short clip separately using a video creator, making sure that it is compressed using the same codec (as your anime clip) and at the same resolution.

Honestly, I don't like this method of putting your name that way. I tend to cut it out before saving it permanently on CD. Putting a logo blended subtly on one corner (usually on the top right-hand corner) is a better idea. I've not tried this filter before, but you could give it a try and tell me how it goes. :http://sauron.mordor.net/dgraft/logo.html

sorry enchnater
but i dont like putting in logos
it is annoying
for me and other people who watch it
i will just put a tag on it
