Hi i have knocked up a easy guide on how to rencode dvds with Cinemacraft using a very cool automation tool called DVD2DVD-R.
Hi i have knocked up a easy guide on how to rencode dvds with Cinemacraft using a very cool automation tool called DVD2DVD-R.
The quality is as expected with cce!!
This is as easy as encoding with cce is going to get until i add ripping the vobs from the dvd to guide.
All tools and applications that are required are linked to on the guide.

How long does that process take ?
And how much better quality is this back up procedure compared to method below ...
DVD Decrypter
DVD2One
RecordNow DX
Method above taking just over an hour

Good guide, concerned about length of time though!

Hi!
I use DVD2DVD-R with CCE but only on very long movies say around 130minutes and longer. On movies shorter than that its very hard ( for my eyes anyhow) too notice much differens to transcoders. I would say that CCE is that last resort before having to split the movie on 2 discs.
Chilledou, i dont thinks its allowed to link to warez material here ( CCE with crack)
If i dont remember wrong there is a simplified version of cce that only allowes 2 pass vbr that is around 60 dollars. Not trying to decide for you what version to use but atleast giving an option ;)

Ok the fact is a 2 pass encode on my amd 2400xp takes about 3 and half hours.
The quality is better than transcoders the reason for this is that transcoders don?t change the motion vectors etc they just compress each frame more heavily.
When you encode a video by using CCE It will be able to start from fresh and knowing the average bitrate it will create a mpeg2 output that has every aspect of it optimised toward being the best quality possible at that given bitrate from that film.
The bitrate influences massively the usage of motion vectors, bi-directional and predictive frames these factors can only be optimised for the bitrate by re-encoding.
If the film after it has been stream ripped is close to the size of a DVD then it is recommended that transcoding is used so that you save time.
Remember you can?t compare methods on screen grabs as a film is a sequence of many frames all modern encoding algorithms are aware of this it's about time the reviewers were as well.

As a last resort i would use the 3 1/2 hour method, as i need the quality for my 60" projector screen, but generally i tend to completely strip the mvie, start/credits all extras, sounds not needed subtitles first. I will compress to 15% before i decide to split to two discs!

ripping the unwanted streams is always preferable to transcoding or re-encoding but dvd2dvd-r will tell you if encoding is not required.

The idea of tweaking the credits bitrate is to save bits. Therefore one should use a low bitrate setting, if any. For example 500kbps, or perhaps even lower?
Setting to 3500 makes no sense, as it wastes space rather than saves it.
Even with 2 passes the quality should be way better than transcoders. However, if the film is very demanding (example: LOTR-TT) even going as high as 8-pass may still give a noticeable difference in complex high action sequences. 8-pass encoding of LOTR-TT takes 10-12 hours with a P4 2.66, so it can still be done overnight.

Nice guide Chilledou. Like your music vidz but copy of TMF music channel instead as there is less osd.
Back on topic, it looks a long process but it should provide a quality result. Nice!

Well I'd never heard of DVD2DVDR. I was using the manual method with CCE.
I will give it a go it looks good.
Your guide won't be up here for long though with links to warez in it
