ddlooping;
I'd love to try it out...I convert about 6 videos a week, and also do re-authouring using TMPGEnc DVD Author. My challange to date has been the the full dvd of Drumline. Even with NRC2, I still get major pixelation...

Sophocles ... you edited out your evaluation. I personally considered it worthwhile ... and if you don't want to re-post it, I would certainly like to have a copy of it via PM??? What-da-ya-think?

I think it was appropriate for several threads, including this one. Makes for a good read, so everyone should use the link and read your findings.

Since I started the 1 click transcoder thread a lot has happened. My thanks go out to Vurbal who dropped in on the thread and suggested that all our goals were not unlike his and that led us to begin using DVD-RB with CCE Basic. Now I?m spoiled. I find it hard to use a transcoder unless I?m forced to. I can?t do my backups as quickly as I used to but with a little planning I can do them almost as often. Tonight my wife and I decided to stroll around Busch Gardens. With a beer in our hands we strolled and made our way to the smoke shack for some ribs. While at the same time back home, my PC was backing up a 227 minute movie, Lawrence of Arabia, on a 120 minute disc. Like 22 of my 23 attempts it works perfectly (need some work on remake). This thread seems to have a life of its own but for me the question has been answered.

I agree. Now that anyone for a reasonable price can encode their backup with CCE with reliable results the first choice is a no brainer.
Secondary programs will always be used but if you have CCE why not use it on every compressed backup.

One of the things that makes it hard to help people with that particular buffer problem is I've only experienced it once. It turned out to be the rip that was bad, I ripped the disc over and it was done. I've been doing backups with incrdible success, I even setup the languages settings in reverse and it worked. That's now 24 and 1 bad, did the Grateful Dead Last night and it's playing now.

Poor soul, eh? ...Yeah, I think I must've persecuted computers in another lifetime ... and now they're getting even. Karma, ya know. The good news is I may be beyond the #0003's. Since installing v2.3 I haven't had a problem. I've only had time to run 2 movies since my last post, but fingers are crossed.
The thing is, I was getting 100% on non-edited movies. Considering quality v. the extras, I can live with the extras just to have that kind of CCE quality. (We don't always get to have our cake and eat it too!!!)
I'm running a RMP edited Castaway (8 GB) now. I'll let you know how it goes ... so "don't let them tears dry up just yet!"

Off-topic and if I may...
"We don't always get to have our cake and eat it too!!!"
should be...
"We don't always get to eat our cake and have it too!!!"
Makes more sense, don't you think? :D

I suspect it has angles??? I'm still stuck on DareDevil. But I'm so tired of watching it now, I think it is time to move on.

DareDevil was so screwy that it caused DVDremake to crash everytime I tried to strip the multiangles. I had to rip the streams and upload them to dimad. There are multi angles in title sets 4 and 6 if I remember correctly. To do title 4 just right click and choose strip all angles, but when that's done you go to title 6 and do the same but this time you'll be given an option to keep an angle, keep angle 1. That'l be enough to back it up.

Haven't seen you around for a bit. The have and eat cake scenario is an old English saying and goes just like Doc typed it

@ Sophocles. ...Thanks. When Castaway's out, I'll give DD another go. It should be interesting. I've got to get past this angle thing.
I'm thinking (pondering) ddlooping's twist on "cake" is that from one perspective we might consider ourselves to be in a perpetual toyland (?) and thus always "eating cake" all the time ... and that sometimes not all the toys are going to work. How'd I do, dd? Reminds me of 11th grade Lit from way back when.

...'but back to Sophocles post. I, too, am spoiled with the quality that RB-CCE yields. I've yet to be able to tell the difference from the original. This makes it worth the time ... which if organized right ... means you don't have to babysit the computer. (Give's you time to stroll Busch Gardens with beer and babe in hand, or in my case, cut the grass and wash the car.)
On the other hand, my kids have their "trash" that doesn't get this royal treatment. A quick encode through Shrink works great. And, I have to say, it looks to me like Shrink beta gets the queen's chair right next to the RB-CCE king.

Doc409, I believe the original saying was the one I quoted.
It has been "distorted" along the years for some reason.
It makes more sense to me because when you have your cake you're expecting to eat it, or at least be able to eat it.
So "To have your cake and eat it" doesn't really sound like a paradox or something unexpected.
But, to have eaten your cake and still have it is much more of a paradox.
Circumstances in which something unexpected happens is usually when the saying is used. :)

The original saying went like this;
"You can have your cake and eat it too." Which translates to you can have your cake and you can also eat it. Double D, you're thinking in French.

Alas, in the old days they could be cruel. Just think of someone giving you cake and not allowing you to eat it.

Maybe we're thinking across cultural lines. It was rumoured that Marie Antointte in reference to peaasant cries for bread, supposedly said on the night before the revolution "let them eat cake." It's believed to be a myth of course but here's a link that disusses it.

Well, Castaway made it through the edited RMP/RB-CCE process. As compared to the original (8 GB), I can't tell the difference. But...
Nero say, verbatim, "One or more files (mostly VOB files(s)) do not belong to the corresponding IFO files." It goes on to give the familiar "reallocation failed & DVD might not be playable" verbiage, of which the RW doesn't play.
My next step is to run Castaway through RMP/RB-CCE without any edits, and see what Nero does then.
If anyone knows how to fix the RB files, or has any thoughts, please let me know.
