But in my defense, these were the default settings which I didn't touch. I also screwed up a little with aspect ratios - TMPGEnc and Freemake added black bars to make the video stay 16:9 (480x270 on a 480x272 screen), but I didn't do the same with Mediacoder. Considering they both use x264, Freemake probably got the same image quality with and without CUDA turned on as was the case with Mediacoder. However when I did another encode with CUDA off, the speed was slightly faster, like in the case for Mediacoder.

So I'll ignore that encode and use the one.Īnother screwup - I think CUDA acceleration was on in Freemake in the previous article as well as in the first encode for this article.
TMPGENC 3.0 XPRESS FREE PSP
But PSP definitely supports Main profile and CABAC, so there is little reason for Freemake to choose for the PSP. I dunno why I encoded Baseline for Mediacoder, I have no excuse for that. TMPGEnc encoded CABAC, 3 Ref Frames, 3 B-FramesĪs you can see, this is very messy. Mediacoder also encoded another file at 3 Ref Frames, 3 B-Frames, which resulted in around the same encoding speed. Mediacoder encoded 2 Ref Frames, 1 B-Frame But then I found a PSP output button which resulted in 1 Ref Frame(s).įreemake also did another encode with DXVA turned on.
TMPGENC 3.0 XPRESS FREE MP4
I chose MP4 output and as mentioned in the previous article, settings are limited. Or maybe not, because.įreemake encoded at CABAC, 1 Ref Frame(s). TMPGEnc: The settings I have been using for PSP (quality-based, 24-25-27 for I-P-B frames respectively) resulted in a filesize of 11.2MB. Mediacoder: I trial-and-errored with this one, and with a bit of math settled on 62 quality with resultant filesize of 11.5MB on my third try. Output: One-pass, resolution 480x272, frame rate unchangedįreemake: "Auto" was selected, resulted in a setting of 13MB, and a resulting filesize of 11.7MB. I swore to limit the number of encodes to five for all my future reviews, and I almost forgot about this already as I wrote this portion I had to force myself to stop at five after realizing things are becoming messy. Installing Shark007 did not help, but CCCP did.Īlso, the original article which was supposed to be a quick look became an 8-way slugfest with 14 encodes instead as I spotted sources of errors and went to correct them. So this is a real-life problem with real-life limitations.Īs for why I did not include TMPGEnc in the previous article and only post this article now, because it refused to read MKV again. Because the reason I wanted to do this in the first place is to see if I should use another encoder instead of TMPGEnc 4.0 Xpress to encode videos for my PSP.

The rules are different from the previous review.
