I'm pretty new to DVD Shrink and I was wondering what the effects of each AEC mode are? (sorry about my previous spelling mistakes)

The best judge of this setting will be yourself...some say that max smooth is the way to go while others insist on max sharp. Do a couple of burn using each one and go from there, it just depends on what your quality expectations are and what your setup is.

DVD Shrink 3.2 Quality Enhancement:

Adaptive Error Compensation or "AEC" as it is more commonly known is a quality enhancement feature released in DVD Shrink 3.2.

Although at high compression 30%+ (70% or less on slider) using AEC will provide better output results but better results come at a price - Time. The AEC settings love using up your CPU's juice. If you have a slow computer then it may take you a substantial while longer to make a backup, although (in my opinion) it is worth the wait. If you do not use the AEC settings your backup will be completed a lot sooner and you will yield similar results to version 3.1.7.6.

Using AEC under any setting is better than not using it. Max Sharp is the fastest, while Max smooth is the slowest.

I have found the default AEC setting is fine for most DVD's.
Max smoothness can be good when having around 50% compression. It can reduce or stop the pulsing/pumping effect that can appear from using too much compression.

The AEC is not normally activated at it full effect until below 80% on the compression slider. Max smoothness is activated all the time when it is chosen

90-99.9% - Max Sharp
80-90% - Default Sharp
65-80% - Smooth
<65% - Max Smooth

Using AEC for the more highly compressed movies will give you better quality, it enable the target to be met.

I've been dvd drinking a long time. Just don't dvd drink while you're dvd driving. LOL

I couldn't pass that one up!

I use:
None under 10%
max sharpness at 10-30% compression.
Max smoothness 30% and higher.

I do mostly re-authoring,so those enhancements are gray out on the majority of main movie only backups.

It seems like I'm in the minority here but I always felt that max sharpness on severely compressed titles looks best.

But I think it also depends on the type of DVD--like how the original picture quality is (digitally remastered etc).

Latest AnyDVD to rip > VOBB to blank the unwanted on a DVD > Shrink to compress > ImgBurn to burn = Never starting a thread asking how to backup a movie
