Hallo!

In Gordian Knot I am directed always after the compressibility test to encode my films. How good is the test, can one count on it or is it also sometimes quite wrong totally?
How are your experiences?

Thx,
Dirk

Have you read this sticky from the DivX Encoding forum (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=24584) yet?

Yes, Iīve read it.
But I think my question isnīt answerd there. My question is: Can I believe the compressibility test because it encodes only 5% of the movie.

Thx,
Dirk

It uses SelectRangeEvery(280,14). That is 14 frames from every 280 frames, throughout the entire content.

I've found it most helpful for full length content, less helpful for short pieces. But you can change the percentage value if you wish.
