5.0.5 better than 5.0.2 finally....

[Morbo]

Yes I said it.......

After about 10 diff tests(from big file for back up,to small file to email) I can conclude that this is the best version ever....

Kudos to team DIVX.....

Xvid is taking heat.....:sly:

Cheers and happy testing over the weekend...

sTAR wARS-ATOC(very compressable)
6 pass looks lots less smeary....
There is actual detail in it compared to my last
5.0.2 - 2pass.

Its really a 2 cd flick,but Im impressed...
The brown is kinda dull,but its not unwatchable

and Im @ 704x288.....

Ill try a real rough one tomorrow...

Is there a real benefit to doing more than 2 passes? Good god encoding a movie that was 2 hours 4 minutes long in 3 pass (Anime) took me 9 hours! Normally a 2 pass for that long of a movie is 5-6 hours depending if it action like mecha or not

Now I'm scared to imagine 6 pass....

IF you are wondering my specs - 1700+@2200+, 512pc2700 6-3-3-2, 80gig wd 8meg cache, a7n8x nforce2 [I'm a lot more pc techish but I'm just trying to get what matters w/o detail]

What are you specs to actually be doing such a higher number of passes?

@magomago:
I don't know what you are doing, but on my 1,2ghz P3 Notebook I get 15fps at 720x304, which would be about 9-10 hours for 3-pass-encoding, too! You must have either a really big config problem, or you're using extraordinarily heavy prefiltering!

[magomago]

Well I IVTC (some of them I have to just to get them to come out right- if it was my choice I'd force film in dvd2avi) and the I apply Lanzcos Filtering and then I load up some subtitles

Do you think that would affect it? Becuase I average from 16-20fps

[manono]

Hi-

Do you think that would affect it?

Yes. To get a noticeable boost in speed, leave off the deinterlacer in the IVTC, if you don't need it. Unless it's some tough-to-IVTC anime or something like that, in many cases Telecide(Post=false) can be used to speed things up considerably. LanczosResize slows things a bit when compared to BicubicResize, as does adding subs. But those are minor slowdowns when compared to using IVTC together with Decomb's deinterlacer. And of course, ForceFilm is much faster than IVTC, but I have to IVTC most of the time also. And you might consider keeping the subs separate to boost both the quality of the rip and the speed.

But I'm inclined to agree with CaptainCarrot; you should be getting better speeds with your system.

If I plan on 3 or more passes, I usually do any NR filtering and/or resizing and/or IVTC as a separate step, and save the result to an intermediate (lossless) Huffyuv file. Then I can use the Huffyuv file with fast recompress to do the multiple passes. Needless to say, this consumes a ton of hard drive space, but it does tend to be much faster overall (certainly if you're going to do 6 passes). :D

HEre is my AVS b/c now I'm concerned with slow conversions

Its the END of EVa and I had to force IVTC for ALL of the tv series so I'm doing it this way with the movie too
