Agreed... He should have spent less time with "da bitch" and more time beating the menu up. 3300kbit/sec video doesn't make my juiced flow, especially since the menu is responsible for ~800kbit/sec of vid quality... Say the menu was the same as the R3 (192megs). Could have had 3900kbit/sec.
Dunno what to think here. The R3 TGP release is still on my HD and not getting rid of it just yet.
SIDE NOTE (for people interested): 9 passes is pointless. Quality gained from passes are exponential, where most quality is gained within the 1st pass (of the Multi-pass encode). By the 4th pass, it's pretty much as good as you'll get. The bits are finite. The VAF only slightly changes the result and instead of 9120kbit in a certain scene, might get adjusted to 9125, while another scene lowers from 2120 to 2115. Most of the major bit allocations occur early in the encode. Passes do not mean the same encoded video is passed by 9 times, but each pass the video does, encodes the video for the first time, just with slightly different video bandwidth allocation each time (where the start point is a CBR based on your first pass kbit value you selected).
