Maybe not, but I do however tend to see slight better quality with two pass. I tried rendering both, then adding them both into vegas to see if there was any difference in pics, and the two pass renders were more sharper…

Mainly for computer, and to be shown on a TV through HDMI. Private purpose to be honest.

October 31, 2013 at 4:53 pm in reply to: Rendered outcome two pass lower bitrate than source

Thank you so much for helping out once again. I’m having a few difficulties when rendering the final thing. When rendering in the setting above, I get this sort of sharpening flicker in a way. As you can see from the two pics below, the 2 pass render is kind flickering. I took a screen shot from the worst part. It mostly looks good, but im not sure if its looking better than the one pass render. However I seem not to get that type of flickering when rendering one pass.

One pass – VBR

Two pass – VBR

Ive tried rendering CBR as well, and there is no flickering when I do that. However, im not able to specify my CBR, ive only got different options, where I have to pick from 28 mbps or 50 mbps, which are the cloest to my source footage.

So as you say, im not sure if I see the benefiths of two pass for my rendering.. Outcome size might be slightly smaller, but quality wise im not sure if it looks better or not.

I just dont know if I should go with a CBR instead, as it gets rid of that flickering. Obviously file size is gonna get bigger though..

Cheers for detailed feedback. I’ll do some more testing and decide what I do..

Ive got one final question though..
Up until now Ive been rendering my movie in small parts, as Xvid took aaaages to render, and I hadn’t really got hold of the mp4 codec before now. When I rendered small parts with Xvid there would be no further compression when I was rendering all the small parts into one. When I try using same settings with the mp4 files it starts rendering as normal, with the same rendering speed.

Do you know if this will affect the outcome quality? I know people say you shouldnt re-render, but with xvid there was no compression at all, but there seems to be with mp4. I tried searching online for answers, but couldnt find any accurate help.

Thanks

Right so I did some tests again.. In Media Player classic the video clip lags about. Audio is out of synch, but when playing with windows media player its alright!

Ive noticed though that with alot of movement and FX the “flow” doesnt seem to look as good as when I use Xvid (don’t ask). What might be the cause of that is that as you say it takes alot out of the computer..

Is there any way of fixing the lag though? If I’m giving the video to friends of mine, it wont do them any good if it keeps lagging for them as well..

EDIT:

Playing with vlc with the computer monitor looks fine. When watching on TV trough a HDMI it lags..

Media Player classic lags every now and then on both.

Media Player looks good on computer monitor, but wont even show up on TV. Ha.

Thank you for your help.

Ive been testing some more.. You know the profile option. I was reading something about all players reading “high” normaly now, so it shouldn’t be a problem.

I tried using “main” now, and it looks like the flow is better tbf.

Am I right in suggesting these settings will render out the video as good as it gets? Or are there ways to get it even better?

Thanks for the tips!

Ive been testing them out as well. Only struggle I am facing now though is video lagging when playing with media player classic.

Ive got a pretty bad ass computer and never experienced lagging like this.. So im not sure if its the settings or if its just how it is for some reason.

Thanks a alot to all of you for taking your time in replying. Its all hugely appreciated.

God I hate this part of the editing, with all the codecs and small details. Especially as I want it to look as good as possible..

Anyways thanks once again for all your help 🙂

I’ve been trying to render with the mainConcept AVC codec now.

What annoys me now is the levels difference in the rendered outcome. Way more contrast then what the preview window tells me. Anything that can be done with this?

Thanks

Thanks again for the reply, man.

Footage is shot in 1920 x 1080, with 59.94 frames, but I can’t see 59.94 frames in frame rate options?

Also: I was testing it out the other day with xvid. What I did was rendering so that the mbps was just above the 30 mark (source file), and then I encoded with Handbrake to mp4 (or mkv).

What’s your opinion on that? Do you think there will be a lot of quality loss by doing so? I mean rendering xvid at first really.

Thanks again
