TMPGEnc Help - Rate Control Mode & Horizontal Lines

[neo]

I have the latestest version and del-*****'s guide. The guide is excellent but may be a bit out of date.

He suggests a rate control mode of 2-pass VBR. The new version describes this as an old method and defaults to Constant Quality (CQ). Any help here? Is this the best for almost DVD quality? Any suggestions in the settings for this mode? Since 135 minutes is the DVD standard I use this for comparison. I was able to encode this equivalent in 1.73 GB with Quality=50, max=3000, min=1200.

The only problem was the horizontal line effect. From what I have read this is due to the wrong frame setting. I am using a renedered DV from ULead that says it is frame A first so I set TMPGEnc the same but have a bad horizontal line problem. Is it only frame order that can cause this or are there other factors?

Thank you.

Ulead software shows the opposite frame order of other programs.

There was a thread about it just yesterday. I'll plunk in a link if I see it again.

If you set your field order right, horizontal lines that are interlacing are supposed to be kept in - for viewing on TV or PC with PowerDVD or WinDVD. If you've got it right, they should not show up in either.
