View Full Version : Avidemux problem with average bitrate

hi, i use avidemux to convert a 1080p x264 to 720p xvid but when i give a value in 2 pass "average bitrate", the final AVI file NEVER has the bitrate that i gave in the configuration. Why this happens? i calculate the bpp (bitperpixel) to give me the exact bitrate that i need, but when i encode the final file never respects the bitrate...


For exemple, in handbrake when i give a bitrate for the 2 pass, the program "respects" the bitrate that i gave.
With avidemux, i give for example 5000kbs (brrip 720p) and the final avi comes with 3500. :-[
This is annoying because i calculate the bitperpixel before and after hours of convertion, the avi never has the bitrate that i want..

My OS is windows 7 professional SP1 and the avidemux version 2.5.6



there it is my converted file and the screenshots of the settings with avidemux (with the bitrate issue):

And the original sample (1080p x264):

Why would you want to downgrade a 1080p x264 (already lossy) video to a 720p Xvid (even more lossy) format?

Where is your log from AVIDemux or Handbrake?

To play on my standalone bluray player. it doesn't accept mkv and x264.

I think the problem comes from "asharp" filter.

Will it not play your original BluRay copy of The Three Musketeers (2011) (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1509767/)?

Then go straight from your original Blu-Ray with whatever you used to create your mkv with x264 and instead create an .avi with Xvid.

:eek:
did you read what i wrote?
has a said: my bluray player doesn't read x264 codec. Only xvid.
when i talk in dvd, it was the media support. burn a 720p avi xvid in a dvd DL.

Yes. But why do you do this? Use laptop with HDMI and watch your favorite movies in 1080p, and in any format you want.

It's kinda hard to believe that a certified BD player doesn't play H.264 format as it is mandatory video codec which must be supported IIRC. Try to mux your x264 encode into .m2ts, .mp4 or .mkv. I'm pretty sure at least one of those will play back fine.
