Thanks ... adding an ac3 option to the server part should be easy and i'll do it if i have some time, but it would mean "yet another extra set off profiles". Maybe i should look into custom profiles or "adjustable" profiles, but this is hard to do "right" without getting a too complicated process in the freevo gui (something via the webserver would be better, but i don't know enough about the webserver to make it happen). Would you be satisfied with 1 profile (1400mb dual pass + ac3 straight from DVD?, makes the most sence as ac3 streams are quite big and don't leave very much space for video in 700mb rips). > > Also, i've noticed the final encode is coming quite a bit under size.. > Maybe it was just my test disk.. But I treid 2 pass xvid 700 and 1400. The > 700 came in at 608 and the 1400 came in around 1040. This shouldn't happen, but there are several explanations: - an error in the bitrate calculations (very unlikely) - an error in the bpp resize alghorithm (very unlikely) - short movie/lot's off space, the codec just maxes out and can't produce a bigger file (likely).. check the bitrate in the encodingserver log - something else (who knows)
I'll try to check the algos for possible mistakes... > > I'm trying another disk now. > > I don't mind trying to tweak your plugin or encodingclient to work my way, > but my coding skills a very poor.

It would same me heaps of time if I know how to do this.. read the developper doc and start an encodingjob from the python real-time interpreter... it should be pretty easy (the interface is very clean). Just import freevo.video.plugins.encodingclient (i think it's in there) and you should be able to use the commands in the devlopper doc. (there's also some test code at the bottom of encodingclient).
