TMPGEnc quality

[kawapiro]

I'M HAVING A PROBLEM WITH TMPGE I CAN'T GET THE SAME QUALITY IN ALL THE MOVIE WHEN ENCODING NO MATTER WHICH TEMPLATE I USE. I GET IN SOME SCENE A REALLY GOOD QUALITY I WILL SAY DVD QUALITY I USE ALL THE FILTERS AND DIFFERENT BIT RATES BUT ALWAYS GET THE SAME(DIFFERENT TEST_ .IN SOME SCENES THE IMAGE APPEARS WITH BLOCKS AND IN OTHERS TOO SHARPEN.
COULD THIS HAVE TO DO WIHT THE VIDEO CARD

Stop typing in all caps. It is considered shouting.

[Yeshi]

Are you stupid? do you not know that you are typing in capslock or something? TURN OFF YOUR GODDAMN CAPSLOCK. idiot.

1. Turn off the CAPS LOCK

2. Use a Bitrate-Calc !

Hey Yeshi

Why don't you lighten up. Not everyone is perfect. The idea is to keep people coming to the forum, not to run them away when they read comments like you just made about the caps lock.

[kawapiro]

not stupid there is not any place that said that you can't type in cap luck that you are so intelligent and smart

kawapiro: your problem has nothing to do with you video card.

It is not very easy for anyone to answer your problem in a few sentences when you ask the way you do. You do not say what you are encoding, you do not say what settings or filters you use etc. etc.
If you want good help, then at least give people a clue what you whant to do, and what you are doing today.

In short: To get optimal quality encoding from TMPGEnc every time you will have to get down and learn more about TMPGEnc and MPEG encoding.
Then you can stop using the templates and set your own settings that give you sufficient quality.
This is also known as "the hard way" (-;

There are a lot of guides on this website and others all over the web, like http://www.digital-digest.com/dvd/articles/index.html
Maybe you can try this link for starters: http://www.vcdhelp.com/tmpgencexplained.htm

LUPUS i use all the filter that can give me a better quality(advance,quantrix (range etc) usuallly i encode avi i have make a lot of test with different setting and always see a preview before encoding my question about the video card is because i not have a good computer and don't know to much about computer so i think that maybe that coulbe the problem with don't have the same quality in all the movie and trying to find if somebody that know more thant me ( i don't kown to much )can help me wiht that. i already have my own templates and make some changes to others that are not my. so if you think you have something that can help me i will appreciated .i will read the more i can in the url you send me thanks for all

OK! From what i understand, you may have a problem with blockyness or so called macroblocks in parts of your encoding. Right?

This is probably due to too small bitrate during fast sequences of your movie, there are a few things you can do to prevent this:

#1 Increase encoding bitrate, go to the tools section of this website and find a tool called SVCDcalc (if it is SVCDs you are trying to make) This tool will let you find your optimal bitrate for your encoding. Insert the bitrate you calculate and insert into Rate control on the Video tab of TMPGenc.

#2 This might not be an option for you, but; Decrease the resolution, if you are making SVCD you could make nonstandard XVCDs instead.

#3 Use 2 pass Variable Bitrate encoding, find it under the same Rate Control Mode as with #1. This can be slow, but thats often the price to pay for good quality.

#4 Increase Motion search precision (bottom on video tab)
The higher you set this, the slower the encoding becomes.

Play with these features, combine them, and use the source range option on Advanced tab, to just encode a small test clip to ensure that you have the quality you are looking for.
Remember that if you set all features to the max, the encoding will take a *lot* of time, so you might want to experiment to find the optimal speed, while mantaining a good quality level.
This will be more easy as you learn to use the features.

Good luck!
