View Full Version : Can GKnot be used with Nandub to find the bit rate needed to reach a file size?

Hi,

I use Huffyuv and Nandub for all my divx encodes. Is it possible to use Gordian Knot to calculate the required video bit rate needed to reach a predetermined final divx file size using Nandub?

When I used to perform constant bit rate encodes, I would use GKnot and input all the parameters including desired file size and I would get back a calculated bit rate that would yield the file size I wanted. Does GKnot perform this as well for variable bit rate encodes?

I did load my Nandub stats file into GKnot but I didn't see anything that would tell me what bit rate to use to reach a given file size. Is this not a feature?

Thanks.

Hi-

So you didn't use a .d2v to get the crop-resize and .avs, right? You're coming into GKnot for the first time with a Stats file?

In that case, you'll have to fill in the resolution, length of video, file size of the audio, desired final file size, frame rate-I think that's about it. Then you can get a modified stats file and bit rate from it. I think.
