DVDRebuilder Pro Coder2 Settings

[mike7778]

Are These the best settings when converting a DVD9 To DVD5 with Pro Coder 2?Delay=0
Pause=20
Priority=0
Minimize=0
NoPathWarn=0
[Quality]
Quality=4
AutoParameters=0
AlwaysGOP15=0
Alwaysframe=1
[Debug]
StrictGOPBrateControl=0

[blutach]

I have delay = 10 (but am not sure what it does) and minimise = 1 (but, strangely, only one process out of my 2 minimises). I also have Always GOP=15 on and AutoParameters on.

But just run EclPro.exe and answer the questions the way you want to.

Is AlwaysGOP15=1 the same as Always GOP=15

Is AlwaysGOP15=1 the same as Always GOP=15

Likely

[blutach]

Yes, of course.

I thought GOP 15 was used for Pal DVD. pro coder 2 has trouble with the movie trailers if your copying a dvd9 to dvd5 ccesp and clonedvd doesn't. Do I need to use Vobblanker to remove these?

read the readme.

AlwaysGOP15=1 is better for higher compression and AlwaysGOP15=0 (GOP length 12) is better for lower compression. however, using GOP length 15 may cause issues with NTSC encodes.

i'm using the latest pro version and procoder 2
can someone please help me and tell me;
where to enter the mike7778's settings ? in the dvdrb or procoder2
what's the advantage of using this settings?
is the settings be diff from p4 to dual 2 core?
can mike7778 settings be use to different type of source?
can mike7778 settings be tweak for better result? - no offence mike

Hi chris

You run Eclpro.exe (find it in the Encoders\EclPro folder) and it will ask you a few questions. It's a one-time setup.

Would it work if you just changed the EclPro.ini ?Because mine seems to be set already

sorry to get off topic, but has anyone ever had problems with setting the GOP length to 15 instead of the default 12? i've seen someone over at doom9 have issues with GOP 15 and since then, i believe jdobbs put a warning in the readme. i also read that you're more likely to have problems with NTSC encodes.

i tried it with 2 movies and had no problems on my DVD players. is it safe to say that GOP15 would be ok for all movies, or does it differ from movie to movie?

tnks, but what does those settings do?

[blutach]

@rahzel - no problems at all, but I am in PAL-land

Since many of my encodes are not at huge compression rates, perhaps an I frame every 12 would be better. I might try a few experiments when I have some time.

@chris j11 - they setup various parameters for the encoder.

so a movie like Lords of the Ring I should use AlwayGOP15=1 since it will require more compression and I should use Pro Coder 2 instead of CCE SP since it is better at high compressions. Pro coder 2 only has probem when your copying a DVD9 to DVD5 and leaving the movie trailers in I think because some are in full screen and some are in widescreen.

[blutach]

I'd never use CCE for high compression stuff. In fact, I never use it at all, despite many people loving it.

Procoder is amazing for high compression. You can also consider encoding in 1/2D1.

And procoder has no issues at all with 4:3 or 16:9 (or converting NTSC to PAL and vice versa). It is almost a one stop encoding solution.
