I'm running the latest (10.25) win-32 build of mencoder from Celtic Druid
and I'm having a problem with undersized x264 encodes.
Calculating exact audio size = 21163.6484375 kb
Scaling to 512
Using 250 mb per 30 min
Desired Video Size = 161119
Mencoder bitrate = 1005
************* Creating transcoding batch file
Transcoding Video (Pass #1): "J:\Sage Recordings\Futurama - Hell Is Other
Robots.vidLibList.92.WorkFolder\Futurama-HellIsOtherRobots-1452173-0.2_2-Pass_x264.2clean.mpg"
-edl "J:\Sage Recordings\Futurama-HellIsOtherRobots-1452173-0.edl" -vf scale
-zoom -xy 512 -nosound -ovc x264 -x264encopts

Transcoding Video (Pass #2): "J:\Sage Recordings\Futurama - Hell Is Other

<** Done
Mencoder Transcode Stats:
Profile[0] = 2-Pass_x264
Video Duration[0] = 21.3613333333333
Original File Size[0] = 1497628
Actual File Size[0] = 149831.9765625
Target File Size[0] = 182283.377877778
Percent Error[0] = 82.197278932895
Compression[0] = 10%
Total Trans Time[0] = 00:51:46
I'm calculating my bitrates by dividing my desired file size in kilobits by
the duration of the video and the same method is producing very accurate
results using xvid. Am I setting up my x264 options incorrectly or doing
something else incorrectly?
Thanks,
Scott
