CQMatic 0.92 BETA 2 released!

[kwag]

You can use the program to automate TMPEG, and create VCDs, SVCDs, KVCDs, SKVCDs, DVDs, KDVDs, and any MPEG-1/2 option that TMPGEnc supports in CQ or CQ_VBR mode. ( 2-pass not supported, because it's inferior quality, compared to CQ encoding. )
Note: TMPEG 2-pass is not supported, because it's own CQ mode is better that it's 2-pass mode.
Not to be confused with "other encoders" x-pass mode, which are better in x-pass modes (CCE for example)

For what reason one will use this prog. ?

[Faceman101]

Here starts a thread of 10+ pages of people arguing that 2-pass is not inferior to CQ.

still nobody argues

I really don't understand. Is it for predicting the average bitrate for a CQ mode ? If it is accurate enough, sounds interesting.

[Faceman101]

I'm surprised myself, good thing.

I haven't tried the tool yet and personally I'm a fan of CQ, I just wouldn't say it's better than 2-pass. And 2-pass isn't better than CQ.

Has anyone tried this and have any comments?

Sorry man, how can you say that CQ is far better 2 Pass VBR,

Thats like saying that a Mini Cooper is far better than a Ferrari.

2 Pass using Tmpgenc, or 3 or 4 pass using CCE is way better that CQ.

[Cecilio]

actually CQ is better. for several reasons, its faster, and you can use low bitrates, and still get better quality than CBR and similar to 2-pass. and no this will not be a 10 + page topic. people will be arguing, till they realize that what a waste of time this is. not in a bad way KWAG, by that, i mean people that like CQ will stick to their way and they dont care if other people change there mind, and same goes for 2-4 Pass VBR.

2 Pass using Tmpgenc, or 3 or 4 pass using CCE is way better that CQ.

With TMPG, CQ coding is better, with CCE, variable pass encoding is better.

[marvel2020]

Sorry energy80s gonna have to disagree again, to me 2 pass VBR in TMPGEnc is better than CQ.-

That include's VCD, SVCD and DVD.

But seeing as i only do DVD's now and use CCE for that, i only use TMPGNEnc for multiplexing and demultiplexing and extracting the audio from avi's.

RC5 released now ...

please read the changelog and instructions (link is in above thread)

I get better results in my opinion with CQ then 2-pass VBR so this program seems interesting to me. Although, since I just saw this thread and haven't been over to the listed web site, I'm still not sure what this program does.
