"Calculated Bitrate as Max. Bitrate" does not stay checked
Thanks again DVD2SVCD for the numerous improvements.
Recently you fixed a problem that I had brought up (this thread). Bringing back this feature has allowed me to encode as I had done previously. However, now that it is "checked" feature, I have run into new problems which hopefully could be corrected in the next update. 1) "Calculated Bitrate as Max. Bitrate" does not stay checked when reopening the program after closing it. 2) "Calculated Bitrate as Max. Bitrate" does not stay checked when running in Batch mode. 3) "Calculated Bitrate as Max. Bitrate" does not stay checked when reloading an IFO set in the "Conversion" tab Looking through the DVD2SVCD.ini file I can see that there is no option to keep it checked. Could this be added to the INI file in a future release? Or is there a way I can modify the INI file myself to keep this checked? Thanks again for your consideration sandchar99 |

@sandchar99,
I've always wondered why people woud want to use OPV that way. Can you explain it to me? I think you're wasting very valuable bits to improve quality by doing so, but if you have good reasons I'd like to hear about them.

But today, we know that it is quite similar to a CBR encode with max=avg=calculated bitrate. Which, I don't know if you're aware, is not the optimal thing to do.

It's because the new algorithm was creating files way in excess of the 800 MB size limit. See thread:
thread I would end up with 6 image sets instead of 3 consistently CD 1 800 MB CD 2 60 MB CD 3 800 MB CD 4 60 MB CD 5 800 MB CD 6 60 MB |

@sandchar99,
You are missing the point entirely. You just seem to use that mode because "you always have". I really suggest you to use D2Sroba, as DDogg did on that thread. Otherwise, stick to CBR. You will have no error at all and almost exactly the same quality as you get with your current use of OPV. If you're still not convinced, and would like to try something better, read the Idiot's Guide.

Ok Ok Ok
You broke down my resistance. I will use D2Sroba plugin. I will use D2Sroba plugin. I will use D2Sroba plugin. (Repeat 100 times). Long live OPV!!! (As long as my RT is still around 1.0). I'll change my tune when I get a processor faster than a P4 1.4 and go back to 4 Pass VBR. |
