Fist pass lager than....

[3D]

I am a little confused on this. I know that in theory this indicated that the settings used are more than the first pass. Does this mean that bit for bit the file created would be the same for the encode and the best possible (first pass)? The reason that I ask is that I have been working on "Hero" and I receive this message when trying to make a 2 CD rip with a 162mb AC3. Since this is a 2 hr movie I do not understand how I could receive this message since after encoding there are a lot of blocks and such and would think that a higher bitrate could fill that space and maybe help of some scenes.

Your expert advise adn knowledge is apprreciated...

you find a very detailed explanation of your options right in the programs help-tab.

I have read that, but it does not really answer what I probably poorly asked? What are some reasons that a rip performed at %100 of the first pass seem far from high quality?

Thanks...

is this the first time you endode with gknot or in fast recompress mode?

maybe you have and yuv-divx-playback-problem?

use different players (e.g. bsplayer) and try to change your desktop color depth.

I have ripped 20 very good rips (I am not saying that I am good just that with 2 cd's it isn't too hard), well one of them wasn't great due to noise but that is understandable. With this movie I have encoded it a number of times with both divx 4.12 (the best for this movie sp far) and 3.11 using full gknot and partly (encoded using gknot for calculations and nanddub). I have run into the over %100 thing and the rips usually look great (just lower in expected size).

Would the force film help cause this if it was really close to 95% film?

I use bsplayer as my default and also test in WMP...

Thanks for being patient Wef...
