What a magnificent job!! Thank you very much.

One point I would make though is that I'd take HC over Procoder Express. If you want top quality with all (and I mean all) the options, Procoder 2 is the tool.

As for saving more space, not only MenuShrink but also VobBlanker and PgcEdit can be used. MenuShrink is good because DVDRB doesn't touch menus (yet).

If you are using a modem - you could bake a cake during the time those pages loads in your computer...

I think you mean a dialup modem (as I have a cable modem which means I can only make a cup of coffee in that time)

i thought you had better things available than bloody instant coffee

there's not time for a decent coffee

Who said instant coffee? Our De Longhi will churn out a nice cappacino in the 5 minutes it takes to load your bloated pages

i wonder what your cable modem is used to in addition to loading a couple of pics

5 mins loading time leads me to the assumption you're transfering an aweful lot of data from your *neighbourhood-watch-cam* or the -session in your basement

To give proper respects to HC Encoder, you should use the common name as DVD Rebuilder has in it options. I've seen instances of "HC" and "HCEnc" in guide. Don't want to confuse total newbies on the scene.

In the menus it's called HC. In some other parts of the help section it's called HC Encoder. The .txt file in the HC Encoder directory names it's as HC. Which one should I use?

hi cynthia.

thank you very much for DVD Rebuilder Freeware Edition for Dummies guide.

i encoded SWIII with DVD-RB v0.96 free following your guide but only in the end of the job i read :

Don't backup multiangle DVDs in the freeware edition

Just like interleaved VOB units/multiangle scenes are not compressed in the freeware edition - so converting matrix or other multiangle titles with the FREEWARE version is not a good idea.

Either strip the source down to ONE angle or better donate and get the rebuilder PRO version, which does compress interleaved VOB units/multiangle scenes.

(oh noooo ) too late,it's done.see here!

SWIII have multiangles and now i'm stuked because i can't get the full version in this moment(short money).
can you show me how strip the source to one angle(angle 3-portuguese) and what program is needed please?


regards

I did SW III with the freeware version. It came out ok.

*Ignore me. I did the UK R2 which does not have angles.

nwg ( i saw your "ingore me" advice)

mine is R4 and i can select the scrolling text in the first chapter in 3 languages but i don't saw the whole movie encoded.
i still need to stript the source?

thanks

I did SW III with the freeware version. It came out ok.

the thing is this:

the freeware version does not compress interleaved cells

should a title have large amounts of them then the result MUST undoubtedly come out bad

in the case of sw3 there is only the *intro* that is used with multiangle iirc and thus there is not much bitrate lost for not compressing these segments

but take other titles with lots of interleaved stuff in it then it is no good idea to use the source without preprocessing - i.e. stripping the source down to ONE angle

[nwg]

The UK R2 does not have angles or interleaved cells (at least VobBlanker doesn't complain and that cannot work with anges either).

Jeo.

You may want to try this link and use Ifoedit.

You could also try ripping again with DVD Decrypter and only keep the angle you want. DVDRemake also strips angles if you have it.

[blutach]

Although VobBlanker does not support angles/ILVUs, don't forget that IfoEdit can sure strip them out - see techreactor's current thread in A&E.

For us types that squeeze every last bit out of a movie, this is the
