two simple gknot questions

[goofy183]

I'd like to keep a spreadsheet of all my encoding info for each epsisode of a TV series I'm compressing. Now instead of having to enter all the info in I was hoping to be able to derive some formulas to promote my lazyness. Most everything is pretty straigh forward EXCEPT how is the Interleaving & AVI Overhead calculated?

Also ... is there a way to know the actual final compressability of the movie? I have a feeling the test is off for a few episodes and I'm curious. All GKnot seems to do is read the .log file from the encoding proccess but I get an error about determining the resolution if I try to open the log from the first pass of the actual encoding log.

I would just save the GKnot settings for each episode, as it keeps everything intact and can be loaded with a simple click (plus it saves the hassle of automating the information record). As for final compressibility, you can't get a % return value, but you can get the average quanitzer. Load the 1st pass log file into GKnot like you would a comp-test, and then go to the encoder tab. It will spit out the average quanitzer value. 2-3 is excellent quality, 3-4 is pretty good. Anything higher than 4 I usually don't stick with, but that's just me.
