Regarding the GOP size discussion, the less B pictures the GOP has, the better. You can even encode without B pictures.

Ok, the new version 2.7.0 beta1 is looking good (haven't I said that before?). I've put in some cure for both the problems w00kie and Dogg reported, and hopefully they'll help. The problems with wrong bitrates/sizes should be gone, and I've added audio settings (e.g. % of Video). A little more work before its done. I'm putting AutoIt3 on the shelf for a while.
@r6d2: maybe he took his name too: "juhan" sebastian ... |

Ok, ya Bach bashers We are just a little OT? Anyway, one could certainly argue that all of our ideas are a iterative process built upon small pieces of information and mis-information we pick up here and there. Eventually they morph into a theory or method. I think Juhan's stuff was just a small subsection and more concerned with robshot. Bach thought it out many iterations past that and properly presented it. I consider at least one of his multiple personalities a friend and I wanted to make that point. Also I now feel much safer walking in the rain

The OPV+VAF then VBR is laying in there too. Differential Calculus was invented almost simultaneously by both Newton and Leibnitz, without any collaboration whatsoever, and the authorship is disputed until today. Then that is creating from scratch. But just being RTFM consciuous where everyone else is lazy... Maybe does not deserve something named after him at all, even though presenting it as something usable by normal people has a merit indeed. I can already hear the thunders! Oh, my...

Just remember he never named it, d2s did. Bach was uncomfortable from the start with the name. He just presented a well thought out presentation of how the RobShot method was flawed, silly and unnecessarily cumbersome. He then quoted from the manual if I remember correctly. In fact, he tended to use the same techniques you do to present ideas based upon fact and not BS. Bach's main problem was he was a natural hothead plus he speaks Portuguese and his English tended to come out, erm, shall we say rather more directly than yours Anyway, we really are off topic so I shall cease and desist unless you crank me up again (as I know you do enjoy doing - lol)

/Add: Back on topic: what do you guys think of improving the plugin with the following stuff: On its current status, the plugin uses Q as its only quality indicator. Actually, Q is a measure of how similar the encode is from the source. It is not "absolute" quality. i.e., if the source sucks, a low Q will produce a "high quality" encode that will also suck. On the other hand, sharpness comes from the resolution used. Say you set "Minimum Sharpness"=CVD. Using FACAR, the plugin optimizes the pair Q/Sharpness to provide the best alternative. Any comments?

Looks like you have been very busy! Hmmm, maybe I am just confused but on my first test the plugin did not do any prediction tests. It's first pass started doing a OPV @ Q1 100-2644.

@Tylo,
I noticed that if you don't use the plugin the BeSweetlater.bat is still there... It it supposed to? Perhaps you should set it only during the plugin.

Thanks. Doing test with Auto now. Seems to be working fine so far. I will edit in results and log in 2 hours. Actually I am glad this "forced" me to use auto mode as I normally don't. I think I am getting close to trusting it

Ok, beta2 will not work with frame selection + audio. I've fixed it, but I'm not able to upload the latest version at the moment. The bug was caused by a "feature" in D2S: In the ".d2s" file, it says:
MP2FileName0=....\Encoded_audio_1.mp2 So I must get the name from the "bbMPEG Movie Settings1.ini", where I find: AudioFilename=....\Encoded_audio_1_FS1.mp2 I'll upload ASAP. /Add: beta3 uploading... Last edited by tylo; 30th September 2003 at 20:00. |
