MEGui encoding to be really small ?

[jonathonsunshine]

Hello...

I have no idea whats goin on, I use the DXVA-HD-HQ profile, if I try and encode a full length clip (90min) at 5000 kbit 2pass, the end file comes out encoded at about 160mb, really lousy quality obviously, and nowhere near the specified bit rate, but if I take the AVS script, add the line " TRIM(10000,10500) " to the bottom, to section off 20 seconds of the clip and then encode that at the specified bitrate of 5000 kbits, that works fine.

I am using MeGUI 0.3.1005 with all the most updated components as off Jan 1st, 7.20pm (GMT 10+).

hi,

are you using directshow as source (with ffdshow as decoder)?

I ran into the same problem... for some strange reason during the first pass the video decoding doesn't work, so x264 gets a black picture as source and thus reduces the bitrate to a bare minimum...

if i use something else as source, for example DGDecode_mpeg2source everything works fine...

I was using directshowsource, but I wasn't using FFDSHOW, I was using the filters from Arcsoft Total Media Theatre.

But I had been doing this for a while and it had always worked...

I just reinstalled windows and it is working now thou...
