Alrite I've read a lot of these posts the last few days being on break and everything had nothing to do but sit down here on my laptop, now i don't actually own a DVD Burner yet but I'm on my way with Christmas money to purchase one, but I have been working with Gone In 60 Seconds on my HD to try and make a perfect 1:1 copy, now here what I've come up with.......
1. All of us would pretty much like a high quality video, and if we have to cut it down to say a 55% or something like that then ReMpeg isn't going to cut it.
2. The best way to do this is take the large Extra VOBs (Gone In 60 Seconds 2nd VOB is over a gig) and I just butchered that down to like 40% with ReMpeg and then made the movie with that, no problem what-so-ever, got the new movie and some of the extras are cut down.
3. Movie is still 6 gigs even, so I have to cut the video and obviously I would like to do that with CCE, I understand how to reencode to .m2v and all that from SVCD experience, but the issues with CCE.
a.)Is the sync issure resolved? and whats causing this problem? is it the remux of the .vob thats such a big issue? and will a high tech remuxer such as Streamweaver do this? or is the problem with the remux only found in PAL DVDs? Are people with NTSC having the same problems? And what about people with NTSC that are having the problem, are you not unchecking the forced film option in DVD2AVI? would that make a difference even.
b.)The chapeters issue, is that what the new option in Ifoedit is taking care of? will that put the chapters back in if i were to encode with CCE?
4. The calculations, I've seen about 10 things on here on the calculation what bitrate to use, mad confusing, I feel like I'm in Calc 115 all over again. I know there was talk of a calculator haven't seen that if anyone has post it or E-mail it to me. Otherwise can someone put a detailed post up on how to calculate what bitrate to use.
5.) The transcoder issue, I know that ReMpeg is a transcoder, obviously a big difference from an encoder. But CCE is commercial software and we all went out and purchased that legally so we could have a good encoding tool, so is there a high tech transcoder out on the market that we could locate and purchase? would that make a difference or is there just a significant amount of quality lost in that method?
6.) Finally, Ifoedit is an amazing tool, and its basically the ground breaker in 1:1 DVD back-ups, obviously to get a quality true back up its going to take sometime and automation is probably out of the question when it comes to sacraficing extras, unless the automation targted your choice of VOBs and you could just go through and downsample all your Extras, then do a little downsizing to the actual movie.
P.S. - I know there was talk of the extras maybe having trouble in ReMpeg I did not have any problems with Gone In 60 Seconds, the interviews and behind the scene crap all looks good.
ohh and sorry things just keep popping into my head, the actual allowed amount of Video on a DVD-R, is 4.3 gigs right? and thats not just the main movie, I'm assuming thats everything? so when I have my final Video_TS folder ready to go to burn, does the total have to be under 4.3 gigs? and when you say 4.3 gigs, is that what windows labels it as, or is that the exact amount of megabytes 4,300? b/c I know if you click on properties you get an actual number that is higher then whats listed in the paraenthesies for example right now my gone in 60 seconds folder say this when I click on it - 6.02 GB (6,472,179,172), which one has to be under 4.3 GB?
Okay thats all, lets conquer this 1:1 shit, its time consuming but what a great hobby eh?
