request for compressibility check

[seoulsteve]

after encoding Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, i noticed that one scene had really blocky walls. i've heard that this movie compresses well, so i wanted to get the perfect encode.

i used the compressibility check to the best of my ability with different filters and resolutions, but i'm not that good at interpreting the results of the compression test. i basically just follow the guide because i haven't really found out what my eyes like best yet.

i know which scene i want to compare across filters and resolutions, but how can i set up GKnot to encode just that 1 or 2 minutes of the movie?

edit: is this a job for DVD2AVI?

you can use dvd2avi for that. use [ and ] buttons

the bitrate distibution algos in gknot and in nandub are quite complex and based one a complete first pass.
without the complete first pass it is impossible to create a sample clip that will match the final result exactly.
an approximation might be possible, though.
i will think about it, but i doubt that it's worth it...
