Nope, at least not yet. > If not what are the advantages of vbr anyways? You don't care about the advantages, if it's possible under linux ;-) IMHO the main advantage with 2-pass encoding is, that you can hit a target bitrate quite easily without playing with -q and -b until you get the best possible result. I wonder if it would be (easily) possible to create a filter like the Avisynth SelectRangeEvery() filter. This way one could encode let's say only a tenth of a movie in a tenth of the time to get suitable parameters for the specific movie and then encode the whole thing with that values. For those who don't know what it does: SelectRangeEvery(100,10) selects 0-9, 100-109 and so on... regards Markus ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Mjpeg-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mjpeg-users
