Nandub/VFAPI with Fast Recompress ?

[SpEeDaMiGo]

Is it possible to encode in fast recompress mode when encoding with the regular Nandub SBC method ? Or is this only possible when using GKnot/Avisynth ?
I've been using GKnot with Nandub but I'd like to have more control over the SBC settings, e.g. set compression levels manually, ... but I'd like to have equal speed as the GKnot/Avisynth/Nandub method offers.

Is it also possible to just use GKnot resizing, and then use Nandub SBC with this *.avs file ?
Which resizing method offers better quality ?

What would you recommend me ?


Thanks

GKnot simply uses Avisynth to frame serve to Nandub (hence the avs extension). Granted, it is much easier that using Avisynth alone (it's text based).

Fast Recompress simply means that QC controls (Antishit, minqual) and filters in Nandub are turned off. All you need is to turn Antifreeze on if you use Fast Recompress. When you get horrible results with Fast Recompress, then switch to Full processing. You will gain some FPS since you avoid using filters and QC in Nandub (from 5fps to 11fps on my machine).

If you prefer, you can just do the resizing portion in GKnot to generate the AVS file. From there, you can do anything you want with the AVS file in Nandub. I typically use soft bicubic resize as this supposedly softens the edges slightly. You'll have to experiment as there are no perfect settings across the board.:)

ok .... thanks
I think I got it now.
