I have a standalone DVD player that's quite sensitive to non-standard MPEG2 streams. I know a stream goes above the maximum bitrate when my player starts skipping every other frame (so all movies look like really old Charlie Chaplin movies).
I used to set the bitrate for mpeg2enc at 8500 and all was fine. But since i started to use mjpegtools-1.6.2, i keep on getting DVDs that, even at 8500, trigger the problem with the player. This never happened with previous versions (i think i used all the beta releases). I'll probably start encoding at 8000 kbps, but to me it looks like the rate control got worse in 1.6.2 The source is always an amateur-grade DV camcorder. -- Florin Andrei http://florin.myip.org/ ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: Oracle 10g Get certified on the hottest thing ever to hit the market...
