One-pass VBR or Multipass

You may want to read the CCE manual. It is very illustrative.

Lower Q 

Hi DDogg, Thanks for the above. I will try sometime tomorrow evening. Do I just need the .dll file for each plugin in the plugin directory? - I'll try that. Warpenterprises website claims that TemporalSmoother is now built into mpeg2dec.dll. In the meantime, you were correct. I have just tried the film 'The ring'. This is 1 hr 55 mins long; source VOB size 6.57GB. D2SRoBa3 has determined an ideal Q of 9. That is a big difference from 77! I will report later with SPR results. Thanks again, Bob
