I did a complete encode of the Full movie downsizing it to 960 X 544 using your 960 cli and so far it looks great compared to the Xvid copy I just did before you posted about the Xvid problems with CBR. I will be doing a complete play thru to see if I drop frames though I think from what I saw it should be ok. (max cpu with test clip was 97%) I will do a run through with your 1280 CLI and let you know how it goes on the other 1280 16/9 videos I have. Hopefully we are getting close to the "sweet spot" Keep up the great work!

PrimusZa1 Wrote:funkytown , is there a reason you removed the "-quantization=3" line in your newest CLI's?

funkytown Wrote:Yes. Quantization=3 set the quantization to be mpeg-2. Now, i am suspecting mpeg-2 to be less strict in terms of max. bitrate. By removing that switch, DiVX will use h.263 quantization (which is the default anyway).

Pretty sure I was getting some message about an application being to recent and then this message appeared straight after. Now I only get this message all the time when trying to open anything. Any idea?

Oldie Wrote:I had that same problem, never could figure it out. Downloaded 1.1.0.1 version of Staxrip and that worked.

willers.nail Wrote:Any chance you could upload that version for me because I cant seem to download it anywhere on the net?

jwdv22 Wrote:I don't have Pro, but I followed your settings and I am still getting dropped frames, and enough of them to care. 140 dropped frames in one action scene. The rest of the encode looks great. Here is the final settings

buges Wrote:Yep im getting alot of dropped frames aswell when there's alot of stuff on screen. The only thing i didnt do was re-encode the audio, so it was still the original 384kps ac3. but that should'nt make any diiference should it?

funkytown Wrote:It shouldnt as long you have the audio decoded by an external dolby/dts decoder. If you play the audio straight from the xbox you have to lower the bitrates (around 10%). As i mentioned my bitrate values assume that you have an audio-decoder attached.
