Possible speed up for the roba method

[baker]

I have a possible speed update for the roba mnethod. I am not sure if this will work but heh it might be worth a shot.

What the program should do:

1. use 1 pass mode in CCE to dertairmine the ammount of cds used.
2. run multipass so it can use this ammount of cds to the fullest.

But my proposel is that insted in part 1 of encoding the whole movie again why not use a wee avisynth script to only send every second frame to the encoder? Then take the size and multiply it by two. This would 2x the speed of the first pass.

P.S. Having a strange bug with the bin files. Mailed dvd2svcd to his bug e-mail address but have downloaded the latest dvd2svcd version to see if it works.

By only encoding every second frame, you turn "old man and the sea" into a high action movie. You are basically playing it at double speed. Differences in frames will be larger, hence you get a higher need for bits, than you would get with the adjacent frame.

Ah I should have figured that out myself.

Really annoyed with myelf now.

Thanks for responding anyway.
