May be we can add cin_bitrate=8000000 to it, so default will work better? (otherwise re-encoding for example dothack2.mpeg from samples.mplayerhq.hu without setting bitrate resulted in blocky encode) --
The output from rendering using dvd as well as the output creating a dvd disc is the same, as one would expect. And on a video/audio file that is only about 1 minute long, there was no perceivable difference in time it took so it certainly is acceptable to add the mod. I will do a bigger test tomorrow and checkout the samples as provided above -- just rand out of time today. Current: ** rendered 1656 frames in 17.353 secs, 95.430 fps test #2 ** rendered 1656 frames in 17.292 secs, 95.767 fps With Mod ** rendered 1656 frames in 17.402 secs, 95.161 fps test #2 ** rendered 1656 frames in 16.808 secs, 98.525 fps
