Size prediction tests with DivX

  • All the tests are done with full movies.
  • For each movie tested you can find number of frames, fps and DivX 5 options used (snip size in this tests is always 14).
  • For each test a size prediction was made, using 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%, 6%, 7%, 8%, 9%, 10%, 100% of the movie (note: at 100% the predicted video size is perfect, i only don't take in account the Avi overhead).
  • For each run you can find the predicted size value and the error from predicted size at 100%.
  • For each test you can find the final average error.
  • For some of the tests a real 1-pass quality based encode was made (to show the difference from the predicted size at 100%: the Avi overhead).
