What value are you using for -q? What I am finding is that the effect of -N changes as -q is varied - especially for the lower values of -N > The setting of -N does work nicely to fine tune a files resultant > size, but clearly it's also a non-linear function as you already > suggested it may be in an earlier email. I had hoped to have some numbers (and I do have a few but the runs are not complete) by now. The thought was to speed up the process by using multiple machines. However, the machines are running different operating systems and the average bitrate numbers for identical runs come out different - they are not comparable if mpeg2enc was run on different OSs! In one case (-q 7 -N 0.5) the BSD system came out about 6% lower than the otherwise identical run on a SuSE 8.2 system. As soon as I have the numbers (5 different -q values, and 16 -N values for each -q) I'll tabulate them and post. I think it'll be a useful "quick reference quide" - given a -q you should be able to pick a -N value to suit the average bitrate reduction.
