Hi,
I was wondering if we shouldn´t use compressibility instead of bitrate (900 kBit/s) as a reference for choosing XviD´s settings. I believe compressibility relates to quality better than bitrate. Shouldn´t we use a certain compressibility value such as I don´t know, 60%? Please enlighten me on this matter, Regards, Loni Blues |

And then, what about the people who need a specific maximal bitrate (e.g. for streaming) or a specifig filesize or like me prefer to do high quality, high bitrate encodes with a custom matrix and so don't really care about compressibility ?
I think bitrate is the way to stay with, I personally don't see that we would gain something though this. Cu Selur |

@loni_blues
I agree with you by now, what I do is : 1°) do a regular 1st pass 2°) in GK, adjust the desired file-size (afterwards) so that the compressibility test give me the percentage wanted (for instance 60 %) 3°) do a regular 2nd pass I can bear it by now... |

@CHAOSMAN33
After a long abstinence from this forum, because of having simply no time, I am "back" again... Though I still have not enough time! But to answer your question: I think I am probably a bit out dated following the discussions at the forum, but I believe that no updates on the guide are needed until a new binary will come out. Or is there somebody who disagrees?

Also, you should add in exactly _which_ subtitle files are needed. After running Robot4Rip, the following subtitle-related files are output: THE_GOONIES.idx THE_GOONIES.rar THE_GOONIES.sub.cc.raw THE_GOONIES.sub.cc.srt THE_GOONIES.sub.cc.unicode.srt (at least, for The Goonies.) You simply say "add your 2 subtitle files". Which 2? Anyway, excellent guide, it really was the thing that made me able to do a good transcode! |

@snowbeach: Will there still be a rip guide included in the next version of the guide ? Just asking because your files are hosted in germany afaik,..
(new copyright law=> could cause trouble) Cu Selur |

@The Khan Artist
I will see if I am going to add the R4R section... @Selur Thanks for the info. I know. I am checking some webspace outside of Germany... But if somebody has some webspace to offer, he/she is welcome...

I could probably host it for you (if you were being serious). About how much bandwidth does your site usually take up?

Many thanks to t3ch for hosting the guide at his webspace/domain (outside of Germany)!!!
See my sig...

Hello..
i didnt want to open another Thread.. just want to reply here.. which options do i need to change to get optimal desired size. When i put the size i want in second pass box.. i dont get always the size i want.. for example.. i want to have the size of 1100 mb.. i put 1126400 into desired size box.. but i get always 900 mb.. how many times i rip.. is there an option.. which allows to calculate exactly for 2 cd rip. My Options are almost same as this guide here.. except MPEG instead H.263. hope to have an explanation for the exact option which has to do with the size.calculation. greetz |

If the encode is quantiser 2 all the way through (use ffdshow's OSD) and you get a 900mb output then that is the best quality you will get with those settings. If you want to increase the filesize try using a high quality mpeg custom matrix such as HVS-Best. Also try removing any smoothing filters such as deen, fluxsmooth or convolution3d unless the source actually needs them. Finally increase the resolution (but not beyond the cropped resolution) or just use the cropped resolution without resizing it. This should beef up the filesize (and quality) a bit. Also, instead of doing a two-pass, save yourself some time and just do a constant quant 2 single pass for this particular encode to make sure it's producing the maximum filesize possible. If it's still undersized after this then... increase your audio bitrate.
