Give more details please

exactly what settings did you use in CCE... what CCE version etc...

Zzzzzzzzzzz

[baker]

CCE v2.5 and say an avg bitrate of 3000

Encode the dreamworks logo with this and take a look at it.

what was the "Min"-bitrate?

[hn2001]

definitivley something wrong with the settings, havent found anything as good as cce so far quality wise. post more info on all the settings

[baker]

remember this:

I have great eyes for spoting bad encoding. The matrix for example wasn't great. Anmd although my fav dvd of all time t2 was done very well its very noisy. Now gladiator is pretty good. But when re-encoded the main movie looks good BUT the actuall bit where it says dreamwave or whatever the writing is very undetailed looking. Just look out for it.

And just remember it depends on what settings you are using. Give us some exact info of your settings being used, also the source of the Dreamworks logo I guess is Gladiator (for someone who has a knack for spotting bad encodes you forgot names of major movie companies easily )

[baker]

Yes it was gladiator.

I watch the encode there without sound and just looked out for bad quailty and its everywhere.

Just try CCE on its complete default settings and an avg bitrate of 3000

dont use default settings...

read this guide:
http://www.doom9.org/mpg/cce-advanced.htm

or use 4 pass encoding and change those other options almost like in that Doom9's guide...!

and that 3000 kb/s is very low avg bitrate for DVD-R!!!!!

180 min movie with 384 kb/s ac3-audio=3000 kb/s avg bitrate for DVD-R!


You really cant get very good quality with so low bitrate and so big resolution if you dont use 4 pass or Robshot or RoBA method and even then the quality cant be very good!

use this calc:

[baker]

well you see we are looking to keep the extras here!

redvd.com

The new all in one tool for complete rencoding of a dvd automatically. It takes all the extras, menus etc.

oh yes I encoded that movie in one pass mode with a q of 7 and the problems where still there.

baker

why cant you use 4 pass?

Zzzzzzzzzz

[baker]

Singal pass will produce better quailty surely as it can do what it likes, like having a cbr bitrate of 10000.

Oh yea and I will now be messsing with the bias settings.

Does anybody know how fast the bitrate can change?
