Estimate output video size with tmpgenc plus?

[neutralidea]

hi there,

I've been searching in all guides of this forum about how to estimate the output video size using TMPGenc Plus?

I usually use CQ and VBR 2-pass.
How can I estimate the size based on the min-max rate + %quality (for CQ) and min+max rate + num passes (for VBR)?

Thanks in advance

For 2-pass VBR, use a bitrate calulator and use the Average bitrate value.

For CQ, its not easy, but you might find some help a www.kvcd.net. They encourage use of CQ and have develeoped some tools to aid in this type of calculation.
