How do I go by using DivX' Nth pass feature with Virtual Dub?
I´ve done 2-pass encoding before, but it´s been awhile. Now I want to do a 3- or 4pass encoded video.
I´m guessing you first add "Multipass - 1st pass to the job list and then the "Nth pass".
But what if you want go higher than a 2-pass encoded movie? Do you just keep stacking Nth pass jobs in to the joblist?
Did you enable 'update log file' when you did the nth passes?
After each nth pass the log file created by the first pass will be updated by more information gathered after the previous pass.
Man I really hope you did, otherwise I dont think itll work.
Well I checked in the codec´s settings right after the last job was completed and the "Udate log" box was checked. I also had a quite large text file in my C: root, so I asume I did things correctly.
Most people say that a 3rd pass does show a significant change in overall movie quality, but more passes than that is useless. The EKG program is used to manually distribute bits across the movie. Its useful when you know that you can take some bits from a part of the movie which you know wouldnt matter and transfer it to a part that really needs it, like an action scene.
