Does TmpGenc do DVD coversion higher than 8000?

[winman42]

I'm using TMPGenc, and it limits my mpeg2 DVD coversions to
a bitrate of 8000.

Can this program do a bitrate of 9000?

thanks,

Just so you know ....

Going beyond 8000 will push you close to the upper limit of the D1 (DVD spec) [when you add the audio track]

This may result in few DVD standalones NOT being able to play the disk.


When my 'video machine' has finished its encode for the day, I will check this out for you and see if I can encode over 9000 with TMPGenc.

Depending on your souce 8000+ seems like over kill.
Even commercial DVD are VBR'ed under that for the most part.

Thanks for the info..i normally use a CBR 9000 bitrate for DVD projects
I create with Ulead DVD Workshop. These are titles that are 60
minutes MAX.

I realize that HOLLYWOOD titles use much lower variable bitrates,
but our software conversions are not gonna come anywhere near that quality.

I'm just curious why TmpgEnc tops out at 8000, when the DVD standard
is 9.8

Even when you put in 9000, it only takes an 8000 bitrate.

Ok ...

-just downloaded latest TMPGEnc 2.54.37 blah blah
-imported a short 5 second clip
-set the following :

Stream - MPEG2-video
Rate control mode - Constant Quality (CQ) click setting - select 100% 9000max 7500 min
Profile - MP@ML

(rest of settings standard or as required)

-encoded in 'lowest quality' fast just to confirm bitrate

- a bitrate of 9000 was achieved


try it

Sorry for the confusion, i'm using CONSTANT BITRATE (CBR),
not CQ.

Is there a diff?

There was no confusion i was aware you used CBR

I should work - i will test it later


I prefer CQ that is all. Faster than 2passVBR (of course)
