Yes, 0.61. One of my files is about 1 hour 11 minutes in length, and Encore says that the too-high bitrate occurs around 1 hour 03 minutes.
Do you know of a tool that can display the max bitrate that is used in the file, so I can see if maybe its just a bug in Encore, or if the bitrate really is spiking? |

Ok, the peak bitrate of my file went way to high all over the place, not just near the end. The Bitrate viewer in DVD-Lab is saying the peak bitrate is 10230 kbps.
While I am encoding the 2nd pass, it reports that there are many possible overflows. Is that referring to bitrate overflows? At less than 10% through, it already reports 6 possible overflows! |

Hi. Before I get banned, or this post gets deleted, I just hope several people have a good chance to read it and digest it. If it gets deleted, I'll just repost it in the main public page at KVCD.Net. I'm sure it will spread worldwide in a matter of hours. I said to myself a long time ago that I was not going to post at this site anymore, but it seems that I must in order to clear up several comments about me and KVCD.Net. Since KVCD.Net went to a "pay-once" (dirt cheap $2.99) model for forum access, some people around the net immediately started whining. Why?, because most sites are free, and don't require any payment, so anyone can join. Some use advertizing (very bad model in my opinion, unless it's google, CNN or other huge sites ), and others are free for some time, before finally folding up after some time because of not making any revenues to maintain the site. Well, since this model was put into operation, KVCD.Net has been the cleanest and most joyful site to visit and to talk about advanced video conversion, because the people that join truly want to learn, and the pay model keeps the rats out of the site. Now, I've been refered here, because specifically dragongotz has made several comments about us, on different occasions, and I'd like to show the community exactly what KVCD.Net does with some of the money that comes in via new registrations. Below is our PayPal record of some transactions that have been made specifically to the open source community, and some of them with dates that are prior to the time we started the payment registration model. Back then, the money came out of my pocket.

Page 180 The example in the middle of the page should read: For example, to generate a second set of 32 pseudo-terminals, enter: # cd /dev # ./MAKEDEV pty1 You can generate up to 256 pseudo-terminals. They are named ttyp0 through ttypv, ttyq0 through ttyqv, ttyr0 through ttyrv, ttys0 through ttysv, ttyP0 through ttyPv, ttyQ0 through ttyQv, ttyR0 through ttyRv and ttyS0 through ttySv. To create each set of 32 terminals, use the number of the set: the first set is pty0, and the eighth set is pty7. Note that some processes, such as xterm, only look at ttyp0 through ttysv. Thanks to Karl Wagner for pointing out this error. Page 197, first line More: http://www.openbsd.org/donations.html And too many others I lost track of, or were payments I did on an old PayPal account I no longer have. This is just the way I show appreciation to some developers and people I value, so KVCD.Net DOES give back a lot to the community. So anyone that joins KVCD.Net can be assured that some of the money he gave when joining, eventually goes to some selected open source projects, and that is a feeling of satisfaction. Have a G'day!, -kwag |

I have to agree with you there. Since the paid model has come into action KVCD.net has very extemely clean indeed. In the past it used to get very frustrating with all the AVI warez kiddies that used to hound the board with ways to convert their illegally gotten movies and got to such a state that it was becoming unbearable. Since the change it has been a clean site whith genuine people who love video/audio encoding and who are always on hard to help people out and to be honest I think $2.99 is such a small amount to ask and is not hardly going to break the bank. KVCD.net was one of the first places I found and I have learned a lot from there and Karl and the other members some of whom are members here also have taught me a lot. So thanks Karl for that. @All Please don't feel that I am putting this site and forum down, I an not. I like being a member here also and equally there are many many great members here that are also so helpful and I have learned a lot from this site also. This is a great site to, but the beauty of the www is that you can have more than one source for from which to get knowledge and this is a good thing. I just wanted to help defend Kwag's decision to go the way of a pay site. Thanks for listening.

@Nic,
As far as I can recall, I mentioned all the settings that were enabled. If I didn't mention 2-pass it's more than sure that I had it disabled. And if what you're saying is that in single pass the ratecontrol is managed by libavcodec, then it only gives me more reason to be angry at libavcodec... @Kwag, Nice seeing you around. Glad you made your point very clear to anyone . @all Doom9 is one of the best places to find video encoding information. And is also the places where one can find more free open source developpers coding video enconding tools. And that's very cool. The encoding community owes a lot to Doom9 and to it's users. For that I thank you all. But there are other places where people can find help and where one can find a lot of information gathered from lots of testing. Kvcd.net is one of those places and so it is Vcdhelp (or whatever name is used nowadays) which is another good example. I just would like to know why some people here won't acknowledge that and why they will never stop sending sarcastic messages when someone else says he/she has a problem with an encode that used the Notch matrix or that was encoded with some help at the Kvcd.net forum. At the end of the day what I mean is that "Knowledge and good will" are not an exclusive of Doom9. And for me this would close the argument that I raised. Just my 0.02€ before I get another warning or get striked for not being nice or for going way too off-topic... Thanks |

now you may say why would anyone just want to read. ok i will give you an easy example. Bill hears about kvcd and after looking around thinks he may be interested in testing it out for his vcd/dvd. now he hears there is an actual website with a forum. good he thinks i can see what experiences people have had and any problems and work arounds etc. goes to the website, goes to read the forum and......he must pay. now other may be fans of that all they like but i am not.

Correction: it wasn't me who introduced the kvcd.net into this topic.
That was Sagittaire's doing, not me. I just commented on Nic's comments about kvcd! Note: I have lurked D9 for a very long time and I don't recall Kwag ever flaming in here. I do remember some argumentations (both here and at kvcd.net) with a lot of people from both forums flaming the opposite end. If for instance we were talking about honorable moderator Mr. Neo Neko flamings at kvcd.net then I would easily remember and agree. Maybe you could give us some evidence of such flaming behaviour from Karl?... Note2: BTW we both used the word d*ck a few posts above. I got a warning for that. Did you get a warning too ? Forget it. I can guess it . |

[edit] btw, i think i read the first 2 sentences of kwag's post. please put all that in a code block so people who are interested can read it, but people who are interested in quenc development can read on without wearing out their scroll-wheel.

A further report on my bitrate issue:
I've been encoding my stuff with HC now, trying to get my DVD done, and I discovered that with HC at least, my bitrate is fine right after the file is encoded, but after I run DGPulldown on the file, the bitrate will shoot through the roof! Can anyone explain this?? The length of the file remains the same, and the filesize remains the same, but it suddenly reports a way higher bitrate! This could very well mean that QuEnc had no trouble at all keeping the bitrate under control, though I can't confirm that right now. If anyone could comment on why pulldown is shooting my bitrate through the roof, I'd really appreaciate it. This issue has caused me to waste like a week of my life now trying to get a dvd done against a deadline! I've tried other methods of Adding pulldown besides just DGPulldown, so its not just that program at fault either. |

did bitrate increase by 29970/23976?
BitrateViewer doesn't take pulldown into account, so bitrates will look way higher than they ought to. the file itself should not be any bigger.

oh and also make sure sequence headers(from memory) are set to interlaced even if you encoded progressive. some players dont handle pulldown well if you dont do that. Quote:

Ok this kind of makes sense. But if you are encoding just for dvd, where is the advantage of encoding progressive? If adding pulldown will force you to encode at lower bitrates, then is that really any better than encoding interlaced at a higher bitrate?

Although, I just now realized, maximum bitrate does not limit the average bitrate that I can use. |

hmm... superbit encodes i've seen are 100% FILM, and report huge max bitrates in BV. i could only assume these are still DVD compliant though (who'd release a disc that's way out of spec?). maybe the authoring programs are buggy? maybe you could be sneaky and just change the max bitrate flag and leave the stream as is?
the only authoring program i really know is DVDmaestro, and it's got no problem with pulled-down video (although i very very rarely deal with NTSC in spruce). btw, i thought the wrong bitrate in BV was more because it ignored the flagging and assumed a framerate of 29.97 - but i'm not sure of this (does it report the movie as being shorter?).
