- Should I do it the same way, or change something ???

- Which source should I use (the same one...) ???

- How much samples per matrix (1,3,5...) ???

- Which bitrate (maybe 750kbps...) ???

- How much matrices (10-15...) ???

- Which matrices (dunno...) ???


Tia n' Bye

No coincidence, but I'm doing some tests with Lost in Translation. It's a wonderful movie, and the cinematography is gorgeous, you should try with that. There are countless scenes in it that would make for good comparisons. I'd try it with 800kbps and 1600kbps (something that should look average, and the other being quite high for any encode).

Also, about the presentation thing...yeah.;)
It's tough to A/B images because you want to zoom, but at the same time when you flick back and forth with Windows Picture Viewer, it flickers between and the zoom is lost (perhaps capture them zoomed a little). I'd also just test with 10-15 candidates this time because some of them look obviously horrible in contrast to others.

Do you think you could tell us the final file size with each matrix too? That would be extremely helpful! I'm curious about the compressibility too.

In the last test they all had the same size (-> 2Pass)... :D

IIRC there was a compressibility chart in my 1st test !!!

Its somwhere @ the "link set" in my sign... ;)

For the flicker problem...

Afaik it doesnt happen if you watch them in the "dia-show" mode !!!


For the zoom problem...

You could use program like IrfanView to zoom (crop/resize) all the sample pic's via batch-processing !!!

Ok, v6 didn't work very well with the movie. There was far too much moving noise in the background, even more than regular MPEG. It was nearly impossible to distinguish between HVS Good and Better. Has anybody found an obvious difference?
