Filesize and mux problem

[juGGaKNot]

Hello

My footage comes from the game "Counter Strike 1.6", it is a 60 seconds clip at 1000 FPS uncompressed 768x432 ( 106.4 GB )

I work on it in vegas and render it at 40 FPS ( smart resample on to make 1000 FPS to 40 FPS by frame blending )

i get a 2.22 GB 40 FPS uncompressed AVI.

Now the problem :

If i render with no Video FX i can render at 2500 bitrate and get final ratefactor of 20.82

If i render at 7500 bitrate and get final ratefactor of 12.36

GOOD so far BUT if i use video FX i get this for the same 2.22 GB uncompressed file :

2500 final rate factor 31.13

and 7500 final rate factor 21.77 ( k but 55MB/S is huge, i want max 30 MB and all QP <25 )

So : what can i do ? less FX on the track is the only way ?

My settings : CLI

@echo off

set myaudio=audio
set mymovie=movie

set mypath=K:\@mkv
set myimputpath=K:\@mkv\Imput
set myoutputpath=K:\@mkv\Output

set myaudiobitrate=128
set myvideobitrate=2700

rmdir /S /Q %myimputpath%\temp
mkdir %myimputpath%\temp

if EXIST "%myoutputpath%\%mymovie%.mkv" del "%myoutputpath%\%mymovie%.mkv"
if EXIST "%myoutputpath%\%myaudio%.ogg" del "%myoutputpath%\%myaudio%.ogg"

I use x264 947 from x264.nl 962 KB

Is my configuration k ? i made it for DXVA but i can go to "maxed out quality" if i get less filesize

Second problem : MKVmuxtools

i got the mkvmerge.exe from MKVmuxtools to add to my bat, it works k for 25 FPS footage but i dont now how to set the bitrate, here is my mux line :

"mkvmerge.exe" -o %mypath%\%mymovie%.mkv "%mypath%\temp\%mymovie%.mkv" "%mypath%\temp\%mymovie%.m4a"

this line makes the "movie with sound" mkv but all at 25 FPS and i use 40 FPS

Thanks in advance.

add

--default-duration 0:40fps

before "%mypath%\temp\%mymovie%.mkv"

If I were you I would stick with more common fps (23.976 , 24 ,25,29.97 ,30 ,50 ,59.94 ,60) instead of 40 (?!)

Thnx, i will do a 50 trial now but 50 + x264 + 720p is to much for the people i'm making the movies.

as for the other problem : does adding video FX ( about 5-6 fx on all the footage ) adds so much to the filesize ?

i can get good quality at 12 mb/min without FX ( 768x432 ) witch is great because all cs videos start at 20mb/min.

PS : --default-duration 0.40fps for 40 FPS so

--default-duration 0.30fps for 30
--default-duration 0.25fps for 25

and etc no ?

thnx again.

it works like this :

echo Muxing Audio And Video
"mkvmerge.exe" --default-duration 0:40fps -o %myoutputpath%\xxx.mkv "%myoutputpath%\%mymovie%.mkv" "%myoutputpath%\%myaudio%.ogg"
echo.

all fine
