OPV Behaviour suggestions

[t0xin]

From what I gather, whenever an oversize occurs, transcoding takes place

That's great, but I suggest further handling (ala D2SRoBa):

- Allow a percentege of undersize, under which a sizing pass would take place for 100% space utilization

- Allow a percentage of oversize (to allow overburning) above which transcoding would take place to cut down to 100%

(Of course these percentages would be configurable)

I suggested the same behaviour at DVDREasy's forum, And I think it really is the most important thing missing in these great programs ..

Cheers

p.s. I couldn't find any reference to command line operation.. would a batch line such as "thefilmmachine.exe project.tfm" work ?

I will investigate it. Thanks.

No problem, and thank you for your reply

I just noticed that its actally implemented in ccefront :
from http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=92157:

-roba_szpass_mode N In roba-mode, an optional "sizing" pass can be performed, either to make
sure that the result hits the target size accurately, or to improve the
encoding quality (not all agree that it will). The sizing pass can either
be done by encoding (CCE), or transcoding (oversized only, requires ReJig).
Mode 0-5 can be used:
0 - no sizing pass
1 - always encode
2 - transcode if oversize (oversize slack is default 0%)
3 - encode if oversize
4 - encode if undersize or oversize or Q > limit
(undersize slack is default 2.5%, Q limit is default 40)
5 - encode if undersize or Q > limit, transcode if oversize
-roba_szpass_limits L H Q
Set low, high slack values for under/oversizing, and Q limit.

So it seems all you have to do is use

"ccefront -roba_szpass_mode 5 -roba_szpass_limits L H Q ..."

where L H & Q are configured in TFM

RE the commandline option I tried it and it didnt seem to work.. have I done something wrong or is it not supported at this stage ?
If not, it should be really easy to implement.. simply allow your new recovery function to be called via the commandline, like i said something along the lines of

thefilmmachine.exe project.tfm

would be great and allow easy batch encoding

Thanks again for your time

Thanks, I noticed the support in CCEFront also. Will test it.

And no TFM doesn't support commandline yet. Will look into that too.

Great !
