The results below are addressing two questions at once (B vs P frame size and yuvscaler/y4mscaler comparison). ~45 seconds of DV data (Digital8) encoded to SVCD and DVD. Using "yuvscaler -M BICUBIC -O SVCD": INFO: [mplex] No. Pictures : 1348 INFO: [mplex] No. Groups : 90 INFO: [mplex] No. I Frames : 90 avg. size 21052 bytes INFO: [mplex] No. P Frames : 361 avg. size 7551 bytes INFO: [mplex] No. B Frames : 898 avg. size 6420 bytes INFO: [mplex] Average bit-rate : 1846000 bits/sec INFO: [mplex] Peak bit-rate : 2360400 bits/sec Using "y4mscaler -S option=cubic -O preset=svcd": INFO: [mplex] No. Pictures : 1348 INFO: [mplex] No. Groups : 90 INFO: [mplex] No. I Frames : 90 avg. size 21295 bytes INFO: [mplex] No. P Frames : 361 avg. size 7150 bytes INFO: [mplex] No. B Frames : 898 avg. size 6084 bytes INFO: [mplex] Average bit-rate : 1770400 bits/sec INFO: [mplex] Peak bit-rate : 2330800 bits/sec Looks like ~15% difference between B and P sizes at SVCD resolution. It also appears that there's a ~4% bitrate reduction when using y4mscaler to get SVCD sized frames. And lastly no scaling - going direct to DVD: INFO: [mplex] No. Pictures : 1348 INFO: [mplex] No. Groups : 90 INFO: [mplex] No. I Frames : 90 avg. size 29793 bytes INFO: [mplex] No. P Frames : 361 avg. size 11778 bytes INFO: [mplex] No. B Frames : 898 avg. size 10023 bytes INFO: [mplex] Average bit-rate : 2832000 bits/sec INFO: [mplex] Peak bit-rate : 4241200 bits/sec at the DVD frame size the difference is ~10% between B and P frame sizes. I did use the "-N" to mpeg2enc but yuvdenoise was _not_ used in any of the above tests.
