Max bitrate question

I am using .50a and am getting a max bitrate of 7200 for progressive sources. Is this correct? In the change log for this build it talks about the max bitrate for interlaced sources. Thanks

I'm a little confused by this too. I've recently processed several titles which are progressive and I've noticed that the max bitrate being used is 7200. If anyone can shed some more light on this topic I'd be interested as well.

DAMN!!! I'm amazed no one noticed this before. I had the variable backwards... it was reducing the bitrate for progressive and not for interlaced (which is where it is needed). That would seem to indicate that the bitrate stutter was never fixed... but amazingly enough it has been reported to have gone away.

One more point for the placebo effect. Thanks for taking care of this jd

I've noticed it.. been using RB Keeper to set max bitrate to 9000 Any chance that DVD-RB can detect max bitrate for each cell & set it to the max bitrate for CCE on a per cell basis?

RB assign the peak to each cell & set the value from the orginal source. eg Code:

Here's an experiment to emphasize the point I'm making: Create an AVS with this content: Trim(ColorBars(720,480),0,10000)) ConvertToYUY2() Then do a multipass VBR encode of it using CCE with: Minimum bitrate=0, Average bitrate=4000, Maximum bitrate=9000 You will see that although the maximum is set to 9000, the peak never goes above 1000...
