Full size SBS not working

[CBR929]

Hi Ronvp
Go into Fabs settings and disable all GPU and set everything to software and try again.

That appears to work @ 50% SBS (FPS for 1st pass is holding at about 22 FPS). I will try 100% SBS after this is done.. FYI.. I have a GeForce GTX 550 TI with intel I-7 920 CPU

OK, it did work and complete, but quality is horrible.. a lot of blocking in the picture. So a 2 Pass/High quality software encoding only looks horrible as compared to a Single Pass High Quality using CUDA.. Next I will rip Single Pass/High quality without CUDA and see how that works.. If that also shows a lot of blocking, then it is the software encoding causing the poor quality.. I just whish DVDFab would implement Constant Quality encoding..

[Ronvp]

Just did a few chapters using single pass/high quality software encode only and it is terribly blocky.. Clearly, only way to get a decent rip is using the hardware based encoding and with that the 2 Pass is not working.. need a fix please!

Yes. Ronvp is right.

I ripped Avatar 3D with version 9.0.2.0 selecting one pass high quality 100% SBS. Sad to say, but the resulting image quality was poor. I had the profile 3d.mkv.h264.audiocopy.

2-pass high quality stopped working on the second pass.

Compression doesn't seem to work well for 3D images. The resulting mkv would need to stay uncompressed. That should improve quality, but at the expense of a larger file size. That's fine, however for those of us looking favoring quality over size.

I also agree with Ronvp that Constant Quality (CQ) should be implemented. It produces excellent quality a lot faster than 2-pass

Okay. I found something that works well for me.

Crop automatically is disabled in the conversion tab.

I have it on one-pass encoding with a custom bitrate of 20000. It will produce a huge file, but the quality is excellent without needing 2-pass.

I had those settings for Avatar 3D. The picture quality is excellent and the force subtitles worked to perfection. I only see the subtitles when they speak Navi. And there's no subtitle flickering.

Those force subtitles work in 3D viewing mode as well 2D viewing mode.
