easy question. Where to fnd status window key?

lakedude · 2nd June 2004, 04:27

Well once again I'm asking an easy one. Before you get on me for not searching, I did. What I want to know is what the red, blue and green bars mean.

I searched this forum and the xvid forum for "xvid status window", I looked up the release notes, I went to the faq, and I read the Stats reader notes. No where did I find the info I was looking for so please forgive me for asking but what are those bar graphs?

Red: I -Frames
Blue: P/S - Frames
Green: B - Frames

I searched the same thing....

Now we know what the colors mean, but what about information from the status window?

If the status bars are like below, what does it tell?

Code:

  II
  II
  III II
_IIIIIIIII_____II

Instead of:

Code:

      I
     II
     II
    III 
___IIIII________

So what's the difference, should I react to these bars somehow?

there are numbers below ... right?
they show quantizer... in generall lower quantizer is better...

jaapaa · 25th October 2004, 07:07

Yeah, there are numbers below. 1234567890123456... etc.

The lower, the better you say.. Can one affect in anyway how things turn up? more kbs to keep the quantizer low?

Exactly. Higher bitrate, lower quantizers.
