Dvd Backup, core i7 --> placebo 2pass at the bitrate needed to fit in 1/6 DvD (around 747 Mo)

BluRay backups, Q6600 @ 3.4GHz
CRF 18-20 depending on source complexity, filter chain, and output resolution (usually mostly untouched 1080p) Setting profile to High @ 4.1 --preset slower most of the time --tune film most of the time 50mbps VBV, for DXVA compatibility <3 the new presets system, and 1 pass VBV. Who the hell needs a GUI anymore? ~MiSfit

Consequently, they are being spoon-fed with GUIs by people who stumble upon Visual Studio Express, download it and throw some dialogs together in Visual Basic. As a side note, it's quite amusing how these guys anxiously advertise themselves as 'Developers'. Sorry about this rant but I've been programming in C/C++ for 15 years and it sometimes turns my stomach when I look at the code of some of these 'GUIs'. |

I don't use presets. I think a brain can become very lazy or clinicly dead with always using presets...too dangerous... I prefer know or try to understand ( a little ) what I do.
So I always use 2 pass with different settings depending the sources complexity or previous filtering. |

Something along these lines for hi-def, into an MKV file:
Code:
--crf 21 --level 4.1 --keyint 250 --bframes 3 --mixed-refs --trellis 1 --ref 3 --deblock -1,-1 --subme 9 --direct auto --vbv-bufsize 24000 --vbv-maxrate 20000 --me umh --no-ssim --weightb --b-adapt 2 --partitions p8x8,b8x8,i4x4,i8x8 --8x8dct --aud --aq-mode 1 --aq-strength 1.0 I'm very picky so it plays perfectly on my Sage HD200, and for DXVA compatibility. |

You should simply your commandline to: Code:
--preset [slow|slower] --crf 21 --level 4.1 --vbv-bufsize 24000 --vbv-maxrate 20000

Unless those commands throw an error in new builds, I like knowing what my encodes are doing. Besides, those presets don't line up with my options anyway.
Edit: CRF 19-20 for hi-def. CRF 21-23 for SD/DVD. Made a mistake above in my first post. Last edited by valnar; 17th October 2009 at 15:47. |

Then you should probably take this as a chance to change your options. Pick a suitable preset and that's it. For 99% of all encodes there should be no need to manually overwrite any options now. VBV parameters must still be passed, of course. And if you really need to, you can still overwrite single options after picking the most suitable preset...

Preset Slow uses subme 8 and ref 5. Preset Slower uses ref 8 and all partitions. Sigma based hardware and DXVA are very picky about what they support, especially for 1080p. Sure, I could use a preset and cancel out the options I don't like with another parameter, but what if the presets change in the future? I still prefer to know what I'm doing. It helps me remember. Although I may take your advice and remove the redundant defaults. |

And if you really want Sub-Me 9, you should simply consider using the "slower" preset If a preset changes in future, that will be for good reason. If you still use your "explicit" options then, they may have become obsolete and you won't notice...
